Cycles of Time
A Weekend workshop with Bill Palmer in Barcelona. 25(evening) - 27th November 2011.

This workshop is about how to work with the rhythms of the body and the cycles in our lives. One of the key principles of Oriental Medicine is that Qi transforms in a cycle, so that rather than manipulating a person back into balance, you help the cycle to move and the process of natural transformation will bring a person to balance in a way that is more sustainable and more real.

The workshop is very practical, with many new Movement Shiatsu techniques for helping someone to feel the natural rhythms and how to use this body awareness to process emotional issues and face them directly instead of projecting them.

The workshop will be suitable for anyone who works or is studying Movement Shiatsu or any other form of bodywork, movement work or psychotherapy.

Six Channel Qi Gong - Energy Movements and Voicework for the Six Channels.
A residential retreat with Bill Palmer in Northern Catalunya. 22-25 June 2012

The Six Channels are paths of coordination through the whole body, showing how a chain of different anatomical structures work together to perform whole-body movements which form the foundation of every action.

These foundation movements are first learned as babies and provide the physical basis for our psychological experience, so they are in some deep sense, the bridge between mind and body.

This workshop a sequence of movements which connect and integrate the Six Channels and therefore integrate our mind and body. The movements come from traditions of Chi Gung and of Yantra Yoga but they are combined with detailed visualisation to develop the mind-body bridge.

Each of the meridians making up the six channels expresses itself in a particular quality of voice and we will be exploring and developing the energy of each channel through voicework.

In addition, we will also be doing plenty of hands on bodywork to release blockage to movement and to make the necessary physical connections for both the movement and voicework.

These movements form a beautiful and profound personal practice which integrate perfectly with the practice of Movement Shiatsu. This is the first workshop in Spain devoted to learning these movements in detail.
