Authentic Movement and Therapeutic Presence with Fran Lavendel

The study of the discipline of Authentic Movement and how it can help cultivate clear presence in our relationships—with ourselves, with those in our personal life, and in our work as therapists or in any other relationship-based practice. An opportunity for both personal and professional development, in which we shall experience the role of mover—allowing unconscious stories to unfold; the role of witness—bringing compassionate presence to the other; and shall practise language that conveys the depth and immediacy of our experience. Please contact Fran on 01968 676461 lavendelmaclean@ednet.co.uk
