School of Movement Medicine - the embodiement and expression of the essential self

I wanted to write to you about the process and mystery of manifestation, having an idea, a wish and turning it, or not, into earthly reality. Its something that we all are involved with, on many levels, whether its manifesting doing the washing up, sending off that letter, insulating the loft, or bringing into being a huge project which transforms the wider world in some way.

Hey...Ya'acov is coming to Cork in lovely Ireland. Its been long awaited because he hasn't been here for a long time.

And he is going to teach 'Darkness and Light ; In our ancestors footsteps'. Its the only time this particular workshop will be held this year.

Having booked to dance this workshop only the previous day, which was very last minute for me, I found myself in an unusual place for starting one of the more in-depth workshops run by Ya'acov and Susannah.

Then suddenly and surprisingly, just 24 hours before the workshop was to begin, circumstances conspired to make it possible for me to attend.
