Using a dynamic breathtechnique, participants focus their breath and awareness on moment-to-moment experience.  Physical and emotional tension melts as we bring our breath and awareness to the present moment.  As tension releases, pleasure and well-being increase.  Learn the skill of processing uncomfortable feelings using breath and awareness.   Let go of fear and feel more alive.

Class limit:  8 people.  $25.

This class is an introduction to the work.  On-going breathwork classes are scheduled to begin the end of October.

Breathwork/psychodrama/breathwork

This workshop is a clearing process using dynamic breath and psychodrama.  The workshop begins with dynamic breathwork (also known as rebirthing).  Participants are coached to relax, allow and sink into their present moment internal experience with breath and awareness.  As participants relax and let go, deeply held physical and emotional tension comes up to be released.  Many times, unresolved issues or memories from the past or challenging present day situations come to awareness.  Participants are coached to fully feel the experience with breath and awareness; to witness the experience physically, emotionally, mentally; and also to inquire what negative core belief about self is being revealed.

The second part of the workshop takes it a step further.  A protagonist is chosen by the group to bring to the psychodramatic stage an issue or situation that wants more exploration.  Group members are cast to play the various roles in the drama.  The intention of the work is to bring to the stage an issue or situation to explore its storyline/script, emotional content and physical behavior. This allows the protagonist to more fully resolve the situation by fully experiencing it and also to try out desired changes.   ~ The psychodrama is followed by another round of breathwork and sharing which allows the group as a whole to further integrate any emotional content that has emerged from the psychodrama.

Time: 7:30 – 10:30.  Fee $40. per session

The workshop begins with dynamic breathwork (also known as rebirthing).  Participants are coached to relax, allow and sink into their present moment internal experience with breath and awareness.  As participants relax and let go, deeply held physical and emotional tension comes up to be  released through sound and expression.   Many times, unresolved issues or memories from the past or challenging present day situations come to awareness.  Participants are coached::  to fully feel the experience with breath and awareness; to witness the experience physically, emotionally, mentally; and also to inquire what negative core belief about self is being revealed.  The second part of the workshop takes it a step further.  A protagonist is chosen by the group to bring to the psychodramatic stage his/her issue or situation that wants more exploration.  Group members are cast to play the various roles in the drama.  The intention of the work is to bring to the stage an issue or situation so as to explore its storyline/script, emotional content and physical behavior.  This allows the protagonist to more fully resolve the situation by fully experiencing it and also to try out desired changes.  Dramatic and comic theatrical scenes emerge from the process and are filmed.  Actors are trained by improvising many roles and characters.

JELILOU ACTING CLASS
monologues/scene work/original performance pieces
Jan 8, 22. Feb. 5, 19. March 5, 19.  April 2, 16, 30. May 14
Using improvisational tools from psychodrama, participants add authenticity, depth and texture to their work by anchoring a chosen monologue or scene to a relevant situation from their personal life experience.  With this preparation, actors bring to the stage real life experiences that have the same or similar emotional obligations as the character of the play.  As a result, the actor learns to inhabit the character’s role with presence and aliveness that is exciting and believable to watch.  As well as excellent training for the actor, the process yields original dramatic scenes many of which will be filmed.

Entire training cost: $5oo.  or $100. monthly pays for 4 classes.  Participants may join on the first class of the month, Jan. through May, but must make a commitment for the entire month and complete that month’s film work.  Additional charge for copies of filmed work.

Dynamic Breathwork is a clearing process using a circular connected breath technique and focused awareness. This bi-monthly class invites up to 10 participants to deepen their awareness and ground in present moment experience. With this technique, emotional and physical stress held in the bodymind automatically surfaces and releases. With repetition, participants feel more confident in their ability to let go into their experience which allows deeper and deeper stress structures to surface and release.  As more and more stress releases, more and more pleasure, well-being and aliveness increase. Let go of fear and feel more alive.
