The
Center for Energetic Studies, under the direction of Stanley Keleman,
offers personal and professional education through workshops, classes
and private sessions.
The Center is concerned with the act of daily living and with body process
as the basis for how individuals form both themselves and their worlds.
This approach honors the universal process that animates us all while
seeking to nurture and mature a personal and social self.
Somatic emotional education uses individual experience, emotions, states
of feeling, action patterns, insights and images to discover how life
has been shaped and what is seeking to emerge.
The key issue is how we use ourselves; learning the language of how viscera
and brain use muscle to create a personal skill for managing one's life,
in one's own way, with vitality and emotional truthfulness.
Programs
by Stanley Keleman throughout the year build on each other and are organized
to form a whole; it is recommended that those persons interested in acquiring
competence in his somatic approach participate in these courses in their
entirety.
