| School of Movement Medicine Curriculum |
|
| All our weekend workshops
provide a good introduction to our work. We have
also designed a 4-day introduction to Movement
Medicine, called Way
of the Dancing Warrior, which happens in the
spring. . Another good introduction is the Winter
Solstice workshop we offer each year in different
venues called Returning
Home. |
|
| If you are interested in going
further and if you want to take the apprenticeship
route, the next step is Susannah’s Ongoing
Group The
Journey of Empowerment. This group happens
over three intensive residential modules and will
give you a thorough grounding in the essentials
of Movement Medicine practice. It’s an inspiring
journey in itself and, because of the skills you
will learn there, it is a prerequisite for the
Apprenticeship
Programme. |
|
| Following the Journey
of Empowerment, the next steps focus on The Journey
of Responsibility. We recommend Ya’Acov’s
Rituals
work which is also a three module programme. You
can choose to take all three modules together
or take them individually. The three modules are:
The Movement Medicine S.E.E.R Process (Systemic
Essential Energy Retrieval), The Vision Quest,
& The Burial of the Warrior Ceremony. |
|
| Initiation
is an adventurous and imaginative 10-day intensive
journey with fine companions, excellent guidance
and far reaching results. The work will help you
to ensure that you learn all you can from your
personal history and free you from any belief
that your past has to create your future. It will
bring healing and understanding to your own journey
and that of your ancestors and so support you
to pass on your wisdom, and not your wounds, to
the next generation. |
|
| Initiation
is followed by the 7-day Phoenix
Retreat. During the Phoenix
Retreat, we will work with what we call the
'creation story' you have inherited and lived
from, whose characters we call 'understudies'.
In the theatre, an understudy is a person who
learns another's role in order to be able to act
as a replacement. On the stage of life, these
understudies have taken to performing nearly all
the time, while the real stars wait hidden in
the wings. Both Initiation
and The Phoenix
Retreat are essential prerequisites for the
Apprenticeship
Programme. |
|
| The Apprenticeship
Programme, which focuses on The Journey of
Awakening, is only open by application to those
who have completed the prerequisites. It is taught
by Ya’Acov & Susannah and a highly qualified
Staff team. It happens over 18 months and 4 modules.
Your apprenticeship is designed with you and you
are supported to stay on track through monthly
intra-module coaching. There are a further two
modules for those who wish to train to teach Movement
Medicine. The next programme will begin in the
spring of 2012. |
|
| We also offer workshops for couples, as well as men’s and women’s retreats and a variety of other theme based workshops.
Taking time to integrate the work of Movement Medicine into daily life is an integral part of our school’s philosophy and approach to teaching. We have put prerequisites in place in order to maximise the benefit you can receive from them and ensure that you have the movement vocabulary needed to do so. |
