Bringing the Dance Back Home
By RolandSometimes
I must admit that I feel very envious of Susannah &Ya’Acov; not of their possessions, good
looks, dancing or teaching skills but of their ability come up with catchy and
appropriate titles for workshop with a seemingly effortless ease that I wish I
had. Titles like ‘Way of the Dancing Warrior’, ‘Rock My Soul’ or
‘Dancing with the Heart of the World’ which both encapsulate the content of the
workshop and very memorable, are all titles that I wish I had come up with. more> |
Letter from Susannah
By Susannah
Dear everyone,
I hope you are well and have had a good time surfing the
waves of what has been, for me at least, a strong and catalytic summer. My parents, having been robustly healthy all
their lives, have both been in different hospitals with different ailments, and
so we saw a lot of them this summer, supporting as we could. The gift for me
was through this, and through being with them at a time of crisis, I was able
to see more of who they are as people and meet with them more deeply. more> |
Back on the laptop and back on the road
By Ya'Acov
After a summer of subtle changes and
simple adventures at home, we are back on the road again and beginning another
term of teaching. As we began this past weekend in Jersey, the leaves on the
trees outside had already started to turn from the fresh full greens of the
summer to the wild oranges, yellows and reds of the autumn. The weather too has
been a perfect blend of summer and autumn. Beautiful sunsets on the beach
followed by strong winds and rain. more> |

By Kate Lawrence Everything speaks of the forest to me:
The trees my bones, stones stack the dense meat of my body,
Leaves
twine my hair and moss whispers against my cheek. more> |

Resovlng Trauma
This month's winner of £100 School of Movement Medicine workshop voucher
by Fiona Hodge
I have dipped
into the workshops of the School of Movement Medicine for over five years and it
has provided me with powerful tools to deal with the most profound and
intractable problems. Real change hasn’t
come quickly and it has required an open mind and heart, my own commitment, but
above all the belief in the teachers and in the very possibility of change. In
other words – FAITH. more> |

By Keef Miles
