Dear Friends,
I am scheduled to teach two sound and movement playshops at the Gay Men's
Spirit Camp at Easton Mountain Retreat Center, about 30 miles outside of
Albany, the week before Labor Day. This is the first year of operation for
this center, and we are trying to find all kinds of ways to publicize its
presence. Please forward this announcement to any gay friends in the area
who
might enjoy some time out in nature (175 acres worth!), connecting with
other
gay men through sound and movement work. I would appreciate any referrals
you
can send my way from the NYC/Boston area. Thank you!
With warmth,
Jamie

Coming Out Vocally: Finding and Celebrating Our Song
August 24-26
"Express yourself completely, then keep quiet." Tao te Ching
"Silence=3DDeath". ACT-UP
Our voice contains many possibilities and mysteries. Vocalization is simply=
the exhale made audible. It is the primary way we express ourselves in life=
.
For the most part, though, our voices remain unexplored and under-utilized=
allies. In this playshop, we will use sound and movement integration to
explore the world of inner somatic support and outer expressive sound.
Specific practices derived from different Mystery Schools will open the
doorway into individual and group improvised chant, rhythm and melody.
Sounding, speaking, and singing will be used to identify our own unique
"voiceprint", and how we can further articulate and elaborate this sonic
identity. This playshop is designed for men who wish to find their voice,
and
learn new techniques for relaxation, aliveness, and spontaneous expression.
Coming Home to Our Body: Movement as Medicine
August 26-31
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
- Mary Oliver
Movement is not something we do, but something we are. It is the language o=
f
the body, from the pulsing of the fluid systems to the vibrations of the
endocrine system. Our cultural conditioning predisposes us to living at a
distance from our bodily home. Many movement forms and exercise regimes
impose upon and dominate rather than collaborate with the natural
intelligence of the body. Yet, this natural intelligence is readily accesse=
d
and expressed when we enter our inner landscape with curiosity, awareness,
and respect. In this playshop, we will explore this landscape with the six
elements of somatic movement experience=97breath, sound, touch, movement,
posture and stillness. These elements are the basis of a bodily dialogue an=
d
collaboration with nature, generating more aliveness, ease, intuition, and
spontaneity in movement expression. Movement is medicine not just for the
body but for the soul as well, a practice of compassionate self-care which
can bring us back home to ourselves. This playshop is for all men who wish
to
live more fully in their bodies, especially those living with HIV and othe=
r
chronic diseases.
