I recently returned from a week long intensive entitled Embodiment in Education: Professional Development for Dance/Movement Educators with Susan Bauer (movingoncenter.org/SomEd.htm). We explored using somatics as a resource for deepening understanding of human anatomy and developing physical awareness through movement and touch. It was an extra special treat because I got to share this time with Pat. It has been at least four years now since we got to spend a good amount of time together and it was great to catch up. Also, I was happily surprised by how well the group of participants fit together. Everyone came from varied backgrounds with an impressive list of experiences and education. The facilitator, Susan, did a great job of sharing her knowledge while still leaving room for everyone to learn from each other. I am very thankful that I went.
