CAROLINE LAMB
‘The Older Body’
Sat 2nd May 2015
10.30am-1.30pm at Cast, Doncaster
Bearing in mind two key phrases; ‘Simplicity is the Key’ and ‘The Power of Now’, this session concentrates on ways
to work with the Older Body. The Older Body is one of experience; years of living make for a potent mix of
knowledge, self-awareness and individual stories. Finding ways of releasing the power of an individual’s ‘inner
landscape’ and inhibitions is what this session is about.
