2008 Teacher Refresher Course (July 14-25)

Overview

"(on) the role of the teacher as catalyst and . . . guide . . . To teach it (Skinner Releasing Technique) one must have experienced it and, in fact, I say to the teachers I train, if you're not living it, don't teach it. If you're not practicing it as a practice in your life, don't teach it because it's a living, breathing process and as you're teaching you're releasing as you're teaching." --Joan Skinner

The 2008 Refresher program is designed for all certified Skinner Releasing teachers to cultivate and nourish your individual Releasing process and enhance your skills and adaptability in presenting Skinner Releasing pedagogy. This summer we proudly host veteran Releasers Robert Davidson, Sally Metcalf and Kris Wheeler to co-lead this program. Immerse yourself in newly developed Ongoing and Improvisation classes as well as boosting your Creative Practice. This intensive includes over 10 hours of seminars designed specifically for certified teachers at the Introductory and Ongoing Levels.
Some topics to be covered during seminars include:

Intuitive Teaching: Refine your ability to tune into your students' needs by boosting your intuitive sensibilities. Cultivate further refinement and subtlety in your teaching methods including the understanding of Releasing and your student's process of Releasing.
On your feet: Address challenges in teaching Skinner Releasing and in presenting Skinner Releasing as part of larger programs of study.
Applications of Releasing: Hear from experienced Releasers on how they have utilized their Releasing processes to inform and affect their life's work.
The future... Joan's vision is to bring Skinner Releasing to various healing modalities and to children. Learn about what Skinner Releasing Institute is doing to bring this vision to life. Add your dreams into the mix.
