As human beings, the eyes are our dominant sensory organ and are an integrated part of our every action and function. Understanding how a person uses their eyes reveals essential and hidden aspects of a persons organization. From both a developmental and functional perspective, the eyes are profoundly connected to our earliest learning. And yet, we rarely utilize the potent potential of working with the eyes in Functional Integration.
In this rich two-day workshop, Carl Ginsburg shares his insights into the role of the eyes in movement and demonstrates the practical application of these ideas in both Awareness Through Movementand Functional Integration. You will discover how a our patterns of seeing intimately affect our movement, and ways of standing, walking, and breathing and then how to effect powerful re-organization in others.
