February 15, 16, 17, 2020 Vision Circles (VC220) Taught by Carol Ann Erickson
Course description:
A road map to the completion of developmental skills through movement, play, and art. Emphasis on vision enhancement.
Participants experience the ways vision is expanded and enlarged by the other senses, and learn how to facilitate sensory awareness and perceptual skills in others
Each vision circle is a sphere of perceptual awareness. These are NATURAL gifts that we come with as infants but tend to use less of as we adapt to outer directed teaching , blocking our innate capacities and adopting other people’s methods of learning.
Each of the 8 sessions includes:
1. experiential play and art
2. repatterning of primary perceptual skills
3. new uses of Brain Gym for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic awareness
4. Vision Gym activities
How can improved perceptual skills help me?
Visual – better focus, active vision, greater comprehension, creative imagination
Auditory – improved memory, increased voice resonance, finer tuning of listening abilities, increased ability to relax and quiet thoughts
Kinesthetic – Fluid movement coordination, sense of space and direction, more enjoyment of fine motor skills
Centering – better organization of thoughts, increased creativity & self- expression, personal ease
Course Hours:
9:00AM - 6:00 PM Daily.
On February 16, there will be an additional evening session from 7:00PM - 9:00PM.
