Peer Facilitation - Experiential Anatomy

Few weeks ago I had an opportunity to facilitate a 15-minute session for a small group of peers. Focus of session must have been drawn from my own movement practice as well as my curiosities. The only one curiosity that keeps my focus is touch. With relation to my FMP idea, I have decided to explore hand... 

Preparation and the actual 15-minute session has helped me to revisit and make my personal connections between movement practices.

Touch can be related to something brute as well as to something that is pleasant...... Touch - is where one is equally giving as well as receiving....
