ORIGINAL NATURE, A PRACTICE IN PRESENCE A POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME SCHEDULED FOR 2018 – 2021 This programme is made up of twelve, five day modules over a three year period commencing in April/May 2018 and ending in May 2021 with a thirteenth module of a six day outdoor retreat in the Wicklow Hills. The programme covers the foundations of the ground form of Authentic Movement, moves it into Embodied Spiritual Practice and further deeply cultivates the practice of entering into Direct Embodied Experience of the here and now with oneself and others. This is practiced both indoors and out in nature.
