Eastern Standard Time
This class invites participants to attune to the resourcing possibilities of our spine and our spatial awareness to support connection to self & encourage movement from our core in everyday situations. We will tap into our spine's vertical connection to Earth and welcome an awareness of our spatial boundaries in other directions. We will then work with a situation in a Focusing way: Exploring body position as an indicator of our state, ask our body what it needs to support our boundaries, and invite a posture or movement as a response. There will be opportunities to sense inside and work with a partner or partners.

As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.
This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care in these challenging times. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.
Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

EST (New York)
This class invites participants to explore the resourcing possibilities of five movements encountered in everyday living -- push, withdraw, reach, offer, and receive. Beginning with an upright spine and supple stance at the center, we will familiarize ourselves with these five movements to develop a sense of possibility and flow. We will then work with a situation in a Focusing way: Exploring body position as an indicator of our state, ask our body what it needs to complete the action, and invite a posture or movement as a response-- e.g. to be still and observe, prepare for a request, retreat, etc. We will slow down and allow time for fully unfolding transitions between postures and movement.
