Men's Contact Improv & Motion Massage
Tues, 8/l5/06, 7:00-l0:00 pm
Contact Improv is an amazing moving meditation that focuses on the point of contact between two people. It looks like a combination of dance (movement), improvisation, meditation, & playful/healing touch. And it is more than these parts.
Motion Massage extends the awareness developed in Contact Improv into a highly intuitive massage form that uses the movement of the whole body to bring about healing, opening, and a nurturing flow. Inside your body blood, lymph, and energy flow constantly. You can get out of your head and sense the deep flows of your body and your life. You'll then realize you are a constantly flowing river that seeks to connect with the many other flows to become the great flow that is now.
CO-FACILITATORS Felix Roth, LMT & founder of Motion Massage; Bart Church, a Zen Shiatsu Practitioner & Yoga Teacher, Jeff Kerr & Daniel Flynn, who are long-time meditators & movers, will help you discover your connections with the earth and with other men through deep awareness of your points of contact. Where do your movements arise from? How are you connected to the earth right now? How are you connected to another? Where is your comfort? Where is your joy?
DONATION: $20-$50 (no one turned away for lack of funds; work-study & scholarships available)
CO-SPONSORS: MenSpirit is a joint project of two non-profit organizations: Q-LAND & LoveTribe. Menspirit empowers diverse men in the Portland, OR area to discover and manifest their individual & collective potential for wellness, community, friendship/intimacy, spirituality, & play.
