Endings, Transitions, Beginnings: Managing Major Transitions
Major turning points in one's life can take many forms, and it is often said, As one door closes, another opens. Jim Feil, and his new work Formative Embodiment offers a practitioner workshop exploring what Stanley Keleman described at the three phases of Endings, Transitions (aka Middle Ground) and Beginnings (the Stage of New Formation). These phases are key factors in many turning points in life. You will be learn:
In this course, we will carefully examine the architecture and process of endings, transitions, and beginnings from this formative somatic perspective. We will build on what Keleman calls ¨the open-ended pulse of our formative process, which includes feelings of powerlessness, instability, and emptiness, as well as feelings of power, security, fulness, and wholeness. We will work with the inherent complexity of actions and of feelings to examine the forms, behaviors, and strategies we bring to important situations in our lives.
Our primary tool for inquiry, self-management and self-formation will be Keleman´s ¨Bodying Practice¨, also called the How practice and the Five Steps. The challenge of this work is to be with “the feeling of formation” as it prepares us for effective and satisfying action in the world.
