Classes and Workshops

Pulses, they are everywhere in our world…in our lives, in our bodies and in our music. In this playful exploration, we will look at how our life's different energetic pulses affect how we move and breath as well as how we act and react to life's circumstances. This will be accomplished by feeding the soul through lots of movement, some dialogue and even a bit of drawing.

Come explore the “pulses” in your life! Please wear comfortable clothing, which allows ease of movement and bring a water bottle and journal, if you have one. All levels are welcome!

Come join me on March 13, 2010 from 1-3:30pm for fun, experiential exploration of the pulse. This workshop is open to ALL adults and costs only $20! Please contact the False Creek Community Centre for registration at 604-257-8195 or through their website at http://vancouver.ca/PARKS/cc/falsecreek/website/

False Creek Community Centre is located on Granville Island at 1318 Cartwright Street in Vancouver.

We are all moving, going from here to there, but are we moving in the right direction?! We all have our own wonderful unique ways of moving, some from habits that formed over time, some from necessity or our innate needs. Are they really assisting us in presenting our true authentic selves to the world?

Moving with authenticity is a practice of going inward and seeing what really wants to be expressed. During this class, we will begin to explore what it means to do just that.

This class will be a part of the large series called Manology: Exploring 21st Century Masculinity, which is being held at the Roundhouse Community Centre from March 11th, 2010 to May 27th, 2010 from 7:30pm until 9:45pm. The series is the first, of hopefully many actions, to reach out to the male community of Greater Vancouver. Each week a different facilitator will explore one of the many facets of what it means to be a man in the 21st Century. Please check out the blog for more information at http://masculinity21st.wordpress.com/!

For registration, please contact the Roundhouse Community Centre at 604-713-1800 or visit http://roundhouse.ca for on-line registration.
