MOVEMENT:
MEANING: MATRIX September
12-16, 2001
MOVEMENTS: This Matrix is a container made of four processes, interconnecting body-mind and heart-soul, through the basic human media of movement, art, talking and thinking. The four corners of the Matrix derive from different sources and are like the Four Winds of North American Indian tradition, through which wisdom and innocence combine to embrace both Earth and Sky, the ground beneath us and the realm of aspiration and inspiration. MEANING MATRIX MOVEMENTS: are a sensate language that embody meaning, beauty and transmit knowledge. Through their action a vehicle is created for the group and individuals to deepen their conscious work and approach worship and communion. TISSUE PAPER COLLAGE: developed by Dr. Edith Wallace to reveal what is held within the psyche. It provides a source of inspiration by facilitating a link to a deeper part of oneself through the act of creation. MEDIAN GROUP: is a way of working in a group pioneered by Dr. Patrick de Mare, the aim of which is to inspire koinonia (fellowship). It provides a vehicle for individuals to explore together their social and cultural assumptions and reclaim disowned parts of themselves and experience their interconnectedness. LVT: logovisual technology is a technique drawn from John Bennett's work with systematics. It is designed to foster intelligence and understanding of complex processes. We will use it to study the course of the event. FACILITATORS: ANTHONY BLAKE: has a background in physics and philosophy. He studied with J. G. Bennett, David Bohm and a variety of teachers to gain understanding of the Gurdjieff work and total process.
