Anatomy of Wholeness™ —

What is this Anatomy of Wholeness work about?
David Gorman, renowned anatomist, Alexander teacher and founder of the LearningMethods work, brings
his latest insights to this workshop the Anatomy of Wholeness™ —
about understanding our amazing human design and function from the point of view
of you, the whole thinking, feeling, responding, performing being.
Learning to get out of the way of the natural functioning of these built-in whole-system "patterns
of being" allows you to regain your heritage of effortless wholeness along with greater support,
freedom, ease and coordination.
The course presumes no special knowledge of the body, though for those who already know a lot,
you'll find a whole new point of view to deepen your understanding and improve your daily activities
and practice.
And who is it for?
It is designed for anyone who is already exploring themselves and their function through any method
or technique; for Alexander Technique teachers and students, body-workers, health and medical professionals, etc.; for performers (musicians, actors and dancers),
athletes; for those who practice yoga, martial arts, aikido, etc.; or anyone simply interested in understanding themselves
and learning how to function better.
What will we cover?
In these two and a half days you will discover (among many other things):
|
|
—
|
one of the most fundamental yet simple elements of freedom
that not many know how to use…
|
|
—
|
the beautiful organization naturally inherent in your system
where muscles function as an elastic suit suspending you in a web of adjustable support
that follows you around, springing you effortlessly into activity…
|
|
—
|
and how radically different this is from the usual way we (and
most books and teachers) think we are built to function…
|
|
This workshop will change the way you think about yourself,
and the way you use yourself in the world.
|
|
—
|
how your whole respiratory system is hung inside you directly from your
head and why the voice is a special kind of voluntary activity, designed
to be organized by your intention alone, and especially vulnerable to interference…
|
|
—
|
how communication, emotion and response are inherent expressive
properties dependent on your state of freedom, and how we are designed to respond to others
directly without emotions being "added on" in performance…
|
|
—
|
the in-built coordinating system that will put together and
refine new skills far faster, easier and with higher quality than you could ever
do yourself by trying to control your parts…
|
|
—
|
the huge implications of a recently-discovered genetic program
in your muscles that allows them to change their very nature to suit you… and why the proper kind
of training and practice is essential to take advantage of it…
|
|
—
|
the two ‘hidden’ organizations of muscle in the legs that give
you a built-in primate nature to eliminate effort and back problems…
|
|
—
|
the ‘myth’ of the quadriceps and calf muscle and why most exercises
and training for them does not really do what most of us want…
|
|
—
|
why so much trying to change and improve ourselves with one
method after another often ends up making people feel more separate, more in parts, and no nearer
our goals …
|
|
—
|
and, of course, much more…
... plus wherever your questions and interests lead us… After all, the workshop is for YOU !

Alexander Technique Teacher Training Course
Open to Alexander Technique students, trainees and teachers...
These three days (probably Tuesday to Thursday) take place in the Alexander Technique Teacher Training course directed by
Richard Brennan. David will draw on his current LearningMethods work, his previous decades of teaching and training
experience in the Alexander Technique, as well as his extensive anatomical knowledge to help the students of the
training course (and any other participants) to:
— deepen and broaden their understanding of the Alexander work,
— learn more about how to help people learn and the pedagogy of good teaching,
— open up avenues for further learning, growth and exploration,
— and whatever else comes up from the participants in the course of the days...
There is a discount if you attend both workshops,
