The Heart of Perception Training is for movement teachers, somatic, and psychological practitioners, and is dedicated to opening perceptual skills, and enlarging our whole hearted relational capacity. In individual and partner exercises, we build somatic and perceptive resources, and develop tracking skills of witnessing, resonance, and verbal and non-verbal dialogue.

It includes exercises from Em'oceans and Sensations, and from Portals of Perception developed by Hubert Godard. These precise exercises create a strong, flexible and perceptive body/psyche that feeds our posture, vitality, and creativity as we meet, orient and respond to an ever-changing world.

The dynamics of how we relate are simultaneously physical and psycho-emotional. We inquire into our core patterns—meeting and healing those that limit us, and enhancing those that bring us openness, connection and depth.

How we exchange with the world and how we relate involves perception. Each perceptual style affects our, posture, movement, and psychological profile; and affects how we relate. Our intent is to open our perception and ‘potential of action’ for participating in all relational aspects of life.

THE HEART OF PERCEPTION TRAINING INCLUDES:

• Physical, emotional, and psychological tracking skills that are specific to working with physical structure, perception, and relational dynamics.
• Experiential functional anatomy through movement and palpation exercises brings self-discovery, strengthening, and coordination of the whole body.
• Skills to feel, identify, process, and communicate our needs and emotions. Attention is brought to our interoceptive sensations and the ways we uniquely experience and make sense of our experience.
• Skills for dream inquiry to reveal the puzzles and hidden insights of the deeper psyche.

We deepen our relationship with gravity and perceptual spatial orientation, which builds a strong sense of safety and security; this gives us physical and emotional backing to take risks and meet creative challenges. We perceptively engage the action capacity—the skeletal structure, ligaments, and the striated muscle system to support, protect, and back the container of our soft visceral organs and our emotional expressivity.

We bring inquiry to our core, which is first the place where we take in impression through perception of our world, and where we non-verbally express our inner state, our needs and our love. We open a capacity for intimacy—to love and be loved, to touch and be touched—by the whole of creation.
A dreamtime allnighter will be included for integration.
