THE BODY AS COMMUNICATOR I: Introduction
INSTRUCTORS Alice Yeager MFA and Faith Hagerty PT, cert. MDT, CSCS,
In this introductory course the body is seen as a means through which your higher Self communicates that can express health as well-being or unhealthiness as suffering. As a means of intuitive communication, the body can convey the underlying cause of a physical issue as "dis-ease" or other unhealthy conditions. The topics covered include physically based anatomical maps as well as subtle energy maps in relationship to our five senses as communication channels. When there is interference to this communication it can lead to unhealthy conditions as emotional and physical pain, sickness, accidents, and an increased rate in the aging process. When these communication channels are restored to full functioning as a loving Self trust we experience greater wellness as physical health and emotional well-being both individually and collectively.
THE BODY AS COMMUNICATOR II: Group and Individual Practices
INSTRUCTORS Alice Yeager MFA and Faith Hagerty PT, cert. MDT, CSCS,
This is an experiential application of the information presented in the introductory class. This in-depth study includes group and individual practice sessions to help you learn to sense this communication for yourself within your own body as messenger. The purpose is to assist you in releasing self-limiting thoughts that have an effect on your self-healing abilities. We will also help you develop and establish reliable skills that you can trust and use for yourself and to help others in a gentle supportive unfolding process toward greater health and well-being. Further information about physical and subtle energy anatomy and the perceptual role our five senses play in the body's communication as part of a universal language. When fully recognized this universal language can reveal universal truths about ourselves and our shared existence. Understanding the various anatomical body parts and their functional usage in the light of this communication can help you identify the underlying cause of a physical or emotional issue i.e. "dis-ease" as an unhealthy (unwhole) condition. When you recognize the cause then true healing not just a temporary "cure" can occur.

Through the use of inner listening, imaging and heightened sensing through your five senses learn to communicate directly with your higher conscious mind. Explore and learn to interpret various symbolic and metaphoric creative forms of expression through the visual arts (color, texture, line, shape and space) music and story telling to reveal intuitive insights. Through multi-sensory experiential exercises you will be able to access and stimulate your inner knowing and self-healing abilities. Past artistic experience is not required. Beginners to advanced artists welcome. Bring a drawing pad (12" x 16" approx.) and a set of colored drawing pencils.
THE CO-CREATIVE ARTS
This presentation covers ways writers, artists and musicians have the ability to access a heightened state of awareness in their work as a naturally joyful form of creatively inspired thinking. As a way of thinking it can involve what is sometimes called "intuition", your "higher self" or "co-creatively" accessing thoughts inspired by the "One Mind"or creative Source. Our five senses can act as antennae for information from this creative source experienced through our higher self as universal love. Confidence in this ability does not come from chemically induced, abnormal or coerced states of consciousness nor from fear of your own mind. The co-creative process can provide material for many forms of creative expression. This often becomes the source for inspired masterpieces in art, literature, music and the theater arts. Many of these artistically inspired works serve as models for an intuitive process that can be experienced as a natural state of an in-the-moment inspired life awareness.
INTUITION, CREATIVITY AND INNER GUIDANCE
This introductory class will help you become aware of your inner creative resources and foster peak experiences as a deep inner knowing awareness of your higher Self emerges. The seeker and seer in you can awaken you to your own inner re-Source. As you begin to trust this as a loving awareness of your higher Self within you can achieve greater moment-to-moment self confidence and develop as a profound connection to the whole of creation. This awareness can allow you to discern and evaluate both inner and outer guidance in ways that foster increased insights, synchronicity, intuitive knowing and creative expression. Through demonstrations, experiential exercises and group discussion this workshop will help you stimulate and develop a heightened awareness of your multi-sensory "clair" i.e clear "sixth" sense abilities. As an on-going inner process you can cultivate greater flow, abundant joy and grace and ease in your life.
NATURE AS HEALER: A Co-creative Journey
Experience a kinship and resonance with nature as a personal co-creative relationship. Through experiential exercises and the use a naturalist's journal, you will have an opportunity to attune yourself to nature's natural rhythms, cycles and subtle interactions. This interactive experience will increase your awareness of your soul's interconnectiveness to all of life, and allow the Source of all creation speak to you through nature. In this way we learn to recognize through all of life's seemingly myriad of forms a loving supportive Communicator. Bring a journal book, bag lunch and dress comfortably for walking outdoors.
CREATIVE JOURNALING
Learn how to use journaling as a creative self-discovery tool to help you find more clarity, fulfillment, purpose and meaning in your life. Journaling can be used for personal exploration as a form creative expression that balances and harmonizes the left and right brain. It can also spark a fuller awareness of and alignment with your life purpose and untapped resources from your unconscious mind. When combined with art, music and connecting with nature it can open up your multi-sensory creative spirit and foster greater inner peace.
