'Return to the Body' - Fridays with Lowen
Open group, meetings once a month. 🍃
REGISTRATION: [https://forms.gle/qtJMDdYoKGMnyJY3A](https://forms.gle/qtJMDdYoKGMnyJY3A)
The body is me. It is through the body that I feel alive, experience, have access to energy, joy, and pleasure. The body informs me when to set boundaries, when to defend myself, and when it is safe, when to withdraw, when to rest, and when to reach out.
Throughout our history, however, we often lose this connection with the body, stop listening to it, ignore its needs, try to subordinate it to function well, to be efficient, or we cut ourselves off from it to avoid feeling. Because perhaps that feeling was once threatening, overwhelming, or even punished.
In the 'Return to the Body' cycle, we will restore the connection with the body. Each meeting in the series is a meeting with oneself, a meeting with the history recorded in the various parts of our body and the emotional patterns embedded there. Do I know my body? Is my body mine? What is my relationship with my own body and what is recorded in it? Can I trust my body, and can it trust me?
------------------------
The group will have an experiential character. The group has an OPEN format - you can sign up for the entire cycle or only for specific classes that interest you 🟢
Classes take place once a month, on Fridays. The cycle is aimed at both those who already have experience with the Lowen method and beginners, as well as those who want to check if this method is for them.
TOPICS of individual meetings:
🔸 OCTOBER 11: my legs - GROUNDING
🔹 NOVEMBER 29: my head - LETTING GO OF CONTROL
🔸 DECEMBER 6: my throat - EXPRESSING MYSELF
🔹 JANUARY 17: my ANGER, my SADNESS
🔸 FEBRUARY 21: my FEAR
Classes will take place if at least 8 people sign up. Information about whether the group will take place will be provided by 12:00 on the Thursday before the planned Friday classes.

'Much depends on you. The time and energy you devote to your body is the best investment for you. In return, you will receive health and pleasure, which are more valuable than power and money. In fact, you invest in yourself when YOU ARE IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BODY, and YOUR BODY IS IN CONTACT WITH YOU.
We use the word exercise to describe how to work with your own body to be more vital. However, the word exercise is a misnomer for bioenergetic work. What you are really doing when performing exercises is TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, which means INTERESTING YOURSELF, FEELING AND LOVING YOURSELF.
Do not exercise with your body as if it were a machine or a horse.
BE YOUR BODY IN ITS MOVEMENTS, ACTIONS, AND EXPRESSION.”
“The path to health and vitality” Alexander Lowen and Leslie Lowen.
