Weekly Class SeRies

Riding the Rapids

Open Classes with Sara Shelton Mann
Tuesdays + Thursdays at 10AM
September 18-November 20- See calendar below for dates

We will begin with methods that cultivate chi, engage with information received through visual, kinesthetic, and auditory fields. We continue working with improvisational puzzles as technical skill- using pulse points, periphery to core, exploring pulse points wrapping the periphery into the core; the navel as an informational being; implied direction starting from the skin and moving into the layers of touch; surfaces of the body that implement quality; and space as a partner, both non-local and inwardly directed. We will begin with the feet, hands, and eyes reaching out into the world as gates into how we negotiate the terrain of our awareness.  Researching different curves of energy flow.
