Thanks Duncan. After the surfeit of wind, sleet and rain here, it helps to remember that foul is fleeting and that the seasons cycle ever onward. So do the workshops, and all is happy happy here with the arrival of Andrea Juhan in Victoria (Feb. 8-10). "’Quickening’ is a Heartbeat weekend focusing on our relationship to fear and excitement, risk-taking and change,” producer Joanne Winstanley tell us.
Here’s more from Joanne in case anyone’s inspired to make the trek to Vancouver Island either now or next fall when Ms. Juhan's long-term Undercurrents group begins:
“I am excited to be bringing Andrea to our community; she is a gifted facilitator, and I have a deep respect for the level of mastery she brings to her work. Andrea spent her late teens and twenties teaching movement, leading groups, studying Gestalt Awareness Practice, and practicing bodywork at Esalen Institute. She is a licensed therapist and a founder of the Moving Center School in California, and has been a student and teacher of the 5Rhythms for over 30 years. Most importantly, she is a warm, encouraging, and approachable teacher with a playful spirit and a generous heart.
Andrea will return to Victoria several times over the next few years to lead Undercurrents, an ongoing group that she has previously offered in Europe. It includes her Open Floor work, grounded in plenty of movement, within a two-year-long format that can facilitate tremendous growth. The Victoria group will be the first time Andrea has ever offered Undercurrents in North America, so it is pretty big news that this will be happening in our neighborhood.
Information about both events is available on my web site at http://www.danceherenow.com/workshops.php. You can visit Andrea's web site http://www.5rcts.org/ to read more about Andrea and her work, including the Open Floor.”
