Seeing and Know Thyself
Mala Aeto, CHSE
Presentation - In this presentation, we will explore two philosophical aspects of HSE, which are SEEING and KNOW THYSELF. We will examine their relevance and meaning, and why they are fundamental to our understanding and experience as HSE Practitioners. We will look deep into our experience and see if we recognize a contextual shift from THERENESS TO HERENESS as a conscious space where we function as Somas. We will do some gentle movements to explore this shift in consciousness where we become the cause and the source of our Somatic work. Thus we become participants and not just observers of human freedom.

The After Effect
HSE Learning Community
Presenters and Attendees Wanted
The Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is a brand-new 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
