PLAYSHOP with Fred Donaldson

Original Play connects us all and reminds us that we belong.

Universally understood, true play is transformative,

and teaches kindness.

We're all born ready to play cooperatively with one another, but cultural conditioning reshapes our interactions to competitive contests of winners and losers.

Come re-learn Original Play

and reconnect with your innate sense of loving playfulness.

Original Play is spontaneous, joyful, instinctive play

that helps us feel safe and connected.

O. Fred Donaldson, Ph.D., is the author of Playing by Heart: the Vision and Practice of Belonging. For more than 30 years, Fred has studied the deep patterns of play, pioneering play as an alternative to competition and aggression. Recognized internationally for his research and play with children, adults, at-risk youth and wild animals, Fred's work is featured in the videos The Power of Play (Animal Planet) and The Intelligence of Play (Touch the Future).

Joy of Being (2) - Feldenkrais and the Inner Body

This is the second in the Joy of Being workshop series which began last July. We'll discover how we see ourselves, others, how we approach the world and how our thoughts about all of that determine our experiences. You are not a collection of bad habits and tendencies that you have to fight with every day of your life! You can access the presence within that gives you peace.

Friday 28 October: Introductions and Feldenkrais: Anatomy of Grace 6.00-9.00 pm

Saturday 29 October: Feldenkrais, Dance, Yoga 9.00 am-12.00 pm

and Water Sense in the therapy pool 2.00-5.00 pm

Sunday 30 October: Aikido: the art of peace, the power of love 9.00 am-12.00 pm

Our themes will be Presence - what does it mean to be present? biography - how does our 'story'

relate to our identity? and Connection - the imperative to stay connected!

Dances of Universal Peace and the Enneagram

Igniting the Flame of the Heart

Experiencing the Enneagram of the Virtues through the Dances of Universal Peace

with Alia Calendar, Kibriya Renie Hope, N'shama Stirling

The Enneagram provides a map of consciousness to help us better understand ourselves and others. We will focus in depth on the Enneagram of the Virtues. The Virtues are the dynamic expression of truth in the world. Work with the Virtues can create a shift from realization to actualization – the capacity to embody and live the Virtues. This work can open the way for the descent of grace and the conversion of

our hearts.

Through the medium of the Dances of Universal Peace, we move out

of the mode of thinking about the Enneagram into the direct

experience of spiritual presence and intelligence. These dances

are a form of meditation-in-motion, combining simple circle

dances with singing of sacred phrases, honoring the unifying

core of the world’s spiritual traditions.
