Movement For Equanimity

Movement for Equanimity (MFE) is an online 1 hour fascia-movement class created by Judy Gantz based on her Swiss training with Karin Gurtner’s Slings program.  This class is mindful and invites the practice of presence while doing simple moves that outwardly look like Yoga and dance warm ups. Learning to focus intension combined with doing carefully crafted choreography will cultivate fascia health. Fascia is intertwined with our nervous system and trauma “coping” patterns. This class is designed to integrate a sense of well-being, build inner stability, better posture, and more fluidity in movement. Join us live or from recordings.

The Art of Integrating Eye, Brain and Body

The Grunwald Eyebody Method® is a principles-based learning method designed to improve the function of eyes, brain and body – and teaches to let go of glasses forever. Simultaneously and naturally. People of all ages and walks of life have been using the method successfully. It is especially effective in improving on and preventing myopia (shortsight), presbyopia (middle-age sight), hypermetropia (longsight), cross eyes or squints, astigmatism, glaucoma, cataracts and other visual dysfunctions, together with corresponding body postures and brain functions.

Introduction to the MAP Journey

Introduction to The MAP Journey weaves Mental, Affective and Physical learning to strengthen witnessing skills and build a common language to navigate the difficulties stirred up in relationships. Mapping guides us through the matrix of human needs and emotions, creating a journey of self-discovery that can turn conflict into a source of consciousness instead of despair.

 

In this 4 day online course (taught via Zoom), we will learn how to identify these defensive habits, deactivate them and shift these impulses in a positive way providing for more compassionate, loving and meaningful relationships. The journey ultimately begins with the SELF.
