In this workshop we will look at “observation” as an important skill that can be practiced, and that is fundamental to being able to work therapeutically with people. Drawing on ideas from Laban Movement Analysis and Body-Mind Centering, we’ll explore and practice naming our own perspectives, offering observations, and seeing what therapeutically might arise from the conversation.
