Sustainable Bodies, Sustainable Minds * 10 Week Workshop

Explore how you, too, can move from pain, inactivity, depression, resistance to life’s joy, poor posture into a new understanding of how your body-mind-spirit connection is easily re-trained from old, limiting habits into a new freedom of vitality and effortless effort. Apply the content of this 10 week workshop into every part of your life including your physical activities, work, intimate relationships and connection through your five senses to the earth and all its wonders.

Next session Summer 2014.
Space is limited, register early.



"It’s my experience that people who understand and respect their bodies tend to have an open and compassionate perspective on life. My mission, as a writer, teacher and bodyworker, is to help people further that understanding and respect. I believe that becoming more attuned to our physical experience affects the choices we make in relation to ourselves, to our fellow human beings, our environment and to our planet. My mission, then, is to contribute to humanity’s deeper embodiment.

We cannot separate posture from movement or activity from how we stabilize our bodies in order to act. How we stabilize ourselves determines our posture and the freedom, efficiency, and grace with which we move. The essence of posture, then, is the unique way in which each of us negotiates between moving and holding still in relationship to gravity."
~Mary Bond
(author of text used in workshop; The New Rules of Posture, How to Sit, Stand and Move in the Modern World


In their words...
reflections by participants of past workshops:

Post workshop evaluation ?: Has your current physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual lifestyle become any more sustainable over the past 10+ weeks?


“Definitely! No lower back pain!!! Kids tantrums rarely phase me!!” -A.P.

“Have more respect for the connection between the physical and the others - finding out that posture has more and more to do with my outlook on life - much more awareness of physical strong and weak points.” -G.V.

“All of the things listed above have either improved or (been) added to/enhanced by this class! Better focus, confidence, attitude. Improved shoulder flexibility and stronger more flexibility in my back. Considering the political and seasonal climate I’m keeping a positive attitude. Thank you!” P.M.

Post workshop evaluation ?: Did you enjoy attending this workshop? Did this workshop meet or exceed your expectations?

* ”Yes. I didn’t know what to expect. I really liked the experience.” P.M.

* ”Yes. Yes. I have already recommended it to others. Thank you so much for your knowledge, caring.” G.V.

* ”Very Much! Has far exceeded my expectations! I didn’t think it would be life-changing but it really has been. I have told everyone that knows I take this class that I think it should be a requirement in school! It’s something that absolutely everyone would benefit from and would prevent much future pain & suffering!” A.P.

The Natural Step Monona 'Sustainable Future' Event

An e-mail message received from Heather Gates of The Natural Step Monona:

Steppers extraordinaire!

Thank you for all your work in making last night's Sustainable Future event a success.  Planning, baking, toting, greeting, staffing, cleaning, folding, donating, hauling, packing, photographing... you are amazing!

I am so proud of all the Steppers that showed up, giving us a good turnout!  We had seven people sign up for study circles, so that part of the event's mission was successful.

Dianné Aldrich, a summer study circle graduate, won the Stepper door prize.  Since she was the largest contributor to it with a $150 gift certificate to her 4Pillars4Health Eco-Studio (Pilates & body work), she won herself back.  Fitting!

Thank you, so much.  Woof!
Heather

P.S.  I, Dianné Aldrich, highly recommend this study circle for anyone who cares about their impact on their own body, the bodies of those around them and on the body of mother earth and all her inhabitants.  Great people, great fun, great inspiration, great learning experience.
