Inviting the Ribs Towards Freedom

Laura M. Gates

Presentation:
Inviting the ribs towards Freedom” offers a short movement exploration of the ribs using self-touch cues, imagery, and breath to sense the interior and exterior rib cage, its movement potentials, and how it interacts with the spine and other parts of the body. Most of our movement will be on the floor, so have your mat and a chair handy.

The After Effect


HSE Learning Community
Presenters and Attendees Wanted

The Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is a monthly group that will be hosted by Ryan Moschell and the AHSE Education Committee. This group’s mission is to cultivate our members’ continued learning and deepen our community’s connection. All AHSE members would be most welcome to attend. Together, we’d benefit Hanna Somatics as a discipline, while supporting the common growth of our clients, the general public, and ourselves as Hanna Somatic Educators. 

In this online group, AHSE members are invited to volunteer to teach a topic of their choice focused on Hanna Somatic Education. Each presentation would be 15 to 30 minutes in length. You’d have the valuable opportunity to practice your presentation skills and your HSE colleagues could process your chosen topic together. You certainly don’t need to be an expert on the topic. You’d inspire the group to learn from each other through their questions and discussion.  

The presenter can get a recording of their own presentation that they can present to their clients, post on social media, upload to YouTube, or use to write an article. If the content is cleared by the AHSE Education Committee, your recording can be archived in the Members section of the AHSE website. 

Suggested presentation topics:

o Anatomy

o Kinesiology

o Neuroscience

o Somatic movements / Techniques

o Diagnosis - somatic interpretations and possible solutions

o A case study (With permission to share)- problems and solutions

o Translating and incorporating HSE into other disciplines.

o Other HSE-related topics…


The group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 9:30 am PDT/PST, 12:30 pm EDT/EST, 5:30 pm BST/GMT, for 60-90 minutes. The first meeting of the Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is _______________-and we already have a great presentation lined up. 

 We’ll need monthly presenters, so if you’d be interested in being a future presenter, Please submit a paragraph describing your topic to Ryan Moschell and the AHSE Education Committee. Let Ryan know if you have any questions about being a presenter.
