A revolution, personal or cultural, is the turnaround of a predominant way to improve a situation or better oneself. Currently, the rise of affectivism\u2014the integrative power of our body\u2019s emotions, feelings, motivations, moods, and affective processes\u2014has ushered in a new era of advances. For somatic psychotherapy in the United States, this means an insistence on a more inclusive somatics that is radically open to change.<\/p>\n
Tina Stromsted\u2019s Seminar \u2013 May 19, 2023, 4:00-6:00pm PDT<\/p>\n Roots hold what\u2019s fundamental in every practice, nourishing growth that continues to bloom anew in each generation and place.\u00a0 This seminar will illuminate elements of the lives and work of three pioneers in the field of body-oriented psychotherapy and depth movement practices:\u00a0 Stanley Keleman, Marion Woodman, and Joan Chodorow.<\/p>\n Having studied and worked with them beginning in the 1970s and 1980s respectively, these inspirational connections spanned four to five decades of learnings with them as my mentors, colleagues, and friends. In this seminar, I\u2019ll reflect on who they were, some of the fundamental elements that inspired and informed their work, and how each contributed to the development of my own Soul\u2019s Body\u00a9<\/sup> work, integrating conscious embodiment practices, depth movement approaches, trauma work, creative unfolding, and tending to the wellsprings that nourish a meaningful, soulful life.<\/p>\n This seminar will honor the preservation of historical somatic lineages, including highlights of who these pioneers were, some of the major elements in their groundbreaking work, and include brief film clips to give participants a sense of each of them as a person, together with the nature of their embodied, somatic movement work.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll conclude by offering a further integration of their work with the body, psyche, spirit, community and nature in the Soul\u2019s Body\u00ae work I\u2019ve developed; an offering I hope will contribute to supporting further generations in building what is to come in our field. Together we will celebrate the depth and stability of our roots, and the continual growth of our dancing branches!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A revolution, personal or cultural, is the turnaround of a predominant way to improve a situation or better oneself.
