Temperature Range:7-8-6
Density:5-6-5
Energy Level:6-5-6
Speed:6-5-6

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the MB?
Christine facilitated today's session...high energy and intensity followed by exercises which focused on a low centre of gravity and muscle control. There were many different relaxation exercises she introduced which really required keeping the feet planted, the pelvis still as well as stretching out the arms and torso. I feel the tension in my chest and head...difficult at times to relax these areas. I liked the way Christine then took the energy/pace of the session back up...it was manageable.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Manipulations?
.Christine was my partner...petite and muscular. During our discussion I said that I had been very conscious of handling the body - "our teacher's body". I liked her reply - "We are all practitioners...we all learn from each other".

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Ground Work?
We all chose a site along the river bed and Tess outlined the materials we could use for composing a 2-3 minute piece. My two materials were "river water" and 'blind memories". Standing, beginning to feel the water, small waves lapping at my legs and lower body, on the river bed. Blind memory with Laura gently pulled along the sand, up onto the bank exploring the grasses...my body curved around rocks...then the incredible sensation of birthing through the scrub...clinging and caressing the smoothness of a tree. My frame incorporated a small patch of scrubby grasses, protruding rocks and a small grey tree stump. My working space was quite close to the ground, as I wanted to maintain a relation of nearness and intimacy to my immediate environment.

What are your main observations and/or experiences of the whole day?
