Our Embodiment Workshops
A key part of our investigation in the Embodied Methodologies working group involves monthly 3 hour somatic workshops, led by one of our scholar-investigators, Margie Fargnoli (UMN Dept of Theater Arts and Dance/Certified Body-Mind Centering practitioner).....
After our first workshop last Friday (November 21, 2008), we determined the following about structure of future workshops:
1) We will include journaling time for 20 minutes during each workshop to document immediate experiences and use these reflections to share with the group as a whole as part of our dialogue at the close of the workshop. Furthermore, this documentation will be used as 'raw data' to feed into future articles that we write together.
2) We need to ensure that each of us has adequate time to share with the group their immediate impressions of the embodied investigation during the workshop.
3) We like the space that we have selected for the workshops....
4) The fall workshops will focus on 'experience' - the spring workshops on 'relationship'....
