| Summary |
"A daily workbook of exercises and practical theory to strengthen understanding and develop embodied communication skills, for professionals and lay practitioners in dance, movement-based therapies, and kinesiology"-- Provided by publisher |
|
"Daily explorations to enhance embodied communication. Communication is a fundamental human activity, and as much as 90% of all communication is non-verbal. Yet awareness of embodied intelligence in communication is rare. This book is the fourth in a series by interdisciplinary educator Andrea Olsen focused on embodiment. Through the exercises and readings in this book, we can deepen our relationship to ourselves and others and improve our communication skills, moving between worlds: inner and outer; self and other; self and Earth. Each of the thirty-one chapters combines factual information, personal anecdotes, and somatic excursions, inviting the reader to explore multiple learning styles and lenses for finding balance in a more-than-human world. This guidebook is a valuable resource for anyone seeking practical tools for living and communicating with more ease and clarity"-- Provided by publisher |
