Salt Lake City ............ July 19, 2008 ............ Paul Linden
This workshop will focus on body awareness training for achieving calmness, inner strength, and compassion in a world of discrimination, rejection, and conflict. We thank the Utah Pride Center for being a co-sponsor for this workshop. This workshop is part of the Utah Pride Center's Pride in You series.
The natural response to intolerance, discrimination, rejection, conflict, and abuse is shock— physical contraction of breathing, posture, and attention. However, this creates numbness and weakness and keeps you in the victim mode.
This workshop will use body awareness exercises from Being In Movement® mindbody training to help you identify and change in yourself the somatic effects of living in an intolerant culture. By learning to open and balance your breathing, muscle tone, and posture, you will develop a state of calm alertness, inner strength and compassion.
Anchoring your awareness in your body core will keep you from being overwhelmed as you confront intolerance and rejection and work toward reclaiming your body and your personal space. The workshop will include practice using the open, balanced body state as a foundation for assertiveness and self-protection.

“Paul is a great teacher who is able to translate the empowerment I work to achieve with my clients verbally, emotionally and with metaphor into an actual felt body experience of awareness, self-protection and personal power.” Howard Fradkin, Ph.D. Psychologist. Affirmations Center for Psychotherapy and Growth.
“Paul's work is on the cutting edge of somatic education. In a very open and loving manner, he combines structural-functional body education with awareness training to create an effective path of healing and empowerment.” Richard Eshelman, Certified Hanna Somatic Educator
“Paul is truly a master at teaching others how to embody and harmoniously experience their own power and compassion. The depth, clarity, and wisdom of his work are a rare find. The depth of the experience I had in Paul's workshop was simply too extraordinary for me to convey in words – the kind of thing one has to experience for oneself.” Patty Shepard, Clinical Social Worker
