I will be teaching the class that Gail was invited to teach. As I read the topics Gail planned to offer, I can see ways to use her suggestions, with some changes and additions. It seems to me that to understand what Milton Trager wanted for his students is critical to the quality of our work. At the same time, he wanted us to make the work our own. He never believed that what we do must look like what he did, and he made this clear on many occasions.
Please know that this class is not about technique! There is no end to deepening feeling qualities in our own minds! Milton wanted us to feel more and to think less. This is a never- ending process and we will spend our time together exploring exactly this. When we trust ourselves and take risks everything becomes possible!
‘Forget the body, it’s the mind we’re after.’ Dr. Trager left us many ‘koans’ like this to instruct us in developing the qualities of feeling, movement and thinking that make up our Trager work. This Level 15 includes a playful exploration of what happens to us and our clients when we deliberately ‘enter the mind of Dr. Trager’ and see his view of body and mind as our own. (This is Gail’s idea and it’s great! We’ll go there! -Bill)
As a group, we can find ways to inspire each other. Each individual can play with expanding their own repertoire, including their communication skills, so that our practice can grow from within.
Goals for the class:
Exploring the degrees of freedom in one's own mind and movement as a practitioner
Giving the client a feeling of ease in various situations
Finding practical ways to recall, enter into and stay in hook-up
Expanding security, confidence and creativity in our own qualities of form and presence
Content:
Communicating with clients-describing the work
Varied exercises with the goal of deepening our listening skills
Work on the table, chairs and mats, exploring movement and touching in the treatment in new, different ways
Giving sessions to outside clients during the class
