TransformAction created by Barbara Jones
A personal developmental programme using the tools of movement and action to access unique human potential
TransformAction – revisit your early movement programming and rewrite your script
This series of workshops will help you to access your unexplored movement potential When we have access to positive movement strategies we are able to create a positive framework for all aspects of our life, including our relationships, our work and our play. We learn to try less to achieve more.Think about learning to ride a bicycle….
To begin with there were so many instructions and so much to remember but mostly related to don’t…. because you were doing too much of everything, something we all do when we try to learn a new skill. We learn our motor skills by eliminating excessive movement.
Gradually, perhaps after a grazed knee and a few tears, the unnecessary movements where reduced until only the basic framework necessary for balance remained. Mastery took a little more time but your overall success, your speed of learning and your sense of achievement always relates to your earliest learning experiences because that is where the foundations are laid.It is never too late to revisit, relearn and reabsorb positive movements strategies.
Workshops 1 - 3
These cutting edge movement workshops enable the individual to explore their basic needs of breathing, nurture and security. Whilst developing the skills of self-awareness, creative curiosity, and observation through developing functional movement. Each workshop is designed to be revisited at three levels.Levels A, C and M
Level A - Access,Level C- Confidence
Level M- Mastery.
All workshops will vary to accommodate the needs and level of the individual and of the group as you evolve in your journey to discover your true potential.
Workshop 1 – Arrival
When we arrive somewhere after an eventful journey we take a deep breath. This is a spontaneous moment of revisiting the momentous journey and arrival of our birth. The first breath of air, the breath of life. is a vital moment in our life as we move from the life support of our mother to being a separate individual. Few of us made a perfect entry, and for many, the nature of arrival and the first breath may have been a traumatic experience. Through gentle movement exploration you can redefine your beginning and lay down a whole new template on which to build your foundations.Developmentally these early movements relate to extension and flexion of the spine, Barbara guides the group, whilst each individual works at their own pace. The lessons in this workshop will take place whilst lying on a mat on the floor.
Workshop 2 – Nurture
After the essential breath comes our need for food and nurture. Working initially through our sense of smell, the first of our senses to fully develop, we begin to explore and develop the movements of the neck and back. When these initial explorations are positive, our spine supports ease and freedom of movement. This workshop offers the opportunity to explore this developmental process and reclaim the ability to turn our neck and head with ease. Each vertebra knows how to freely rotate and you will begin to access this capability and refine it by connecting to your senses. Through accessing the primary movements of the mouth and eyes, the head, neck and spine become freer and lighter.Workshop 3 – Security
Learning to move from our backs to our fronts is an essential part of our learning development and survival. Exploring the world from a different orientations creates the need for finer tuned awareness skills as the need for safety and security begin to evolve. When this evolution is developed through playful curiosity and full use of our senses, the positive experience helps create a complete sense of self. Fear and anxiety create an anxious, nervous, or even aggressive responses to the world where any change can feel life threatening.. Through gentle movement you will explore your world from all sides of yourself with the curiosity of a child to find your safe secure place. The health and function of your back can be greatly improved with this easy to do workshop as you learn to use the whole of yourself, you will feel more comfortable with the changing world around you.
