Corporate
Workshops
For corporate
retreats, programs can be customized. Two popular workshops
have been:
Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion
Modern society does not have an appropriate place for the
emotion of Anger. We have been
taught to suppress this emotion, or stigmatized it as Bad. There does
not seem to be place
where we can allow this to be as it is just one of the many emotions we
express. Through this
process we will begin the process of normalizing anger, so we can deal
with it in an effective
productive manner.
This workshop is designed to recognize Anger and see how it develops.
One we have done this
we can then channel this powerful emotion into a productive
tool. Most folks are not aware that
"anger" is rising, so once it's there they have already been swept up
by it's awesome power.
The first part of this process will be to identify what causes us to
become angry. We will use
journaling and facilitated group discussion for this. Once the what has
been identified we will
then begin the process of channelling. For this We will employ
techniques used in
Theatre,(Role Play) Drumming( for raw expression), Dance and Yoga to
find the appropriate
way for each individual to channel this misunderstood emotion into a
productive tool for growth.
Back into our Focus
60-80% of North Americans will suffer from some back ailments in their
life time, this according
to The American College of Sports Medicine. The cost to employers runs
into the Billions of
Dollars, annually. The main causes of back injuries are Stress and
Activity Limitation. This
means that if we do not use the back, and spine correctly we will incur
some sort of back
ailment. The physical state of the spine determines how well it
functions and use and injury will
alter it's structure. The interrelation between structure and function
is central to understanding
many back problems. We are all born with a certain Kyphosis, curvature
of the neck, and
Lordosis, curvature of the low back. These both must be maintained in
order for the spine to
function effectively.
Most corporate employees spend , on average 60 hours a week working at
their desks and
computers. This does not allow much time for the spine to get it's
necessary movement. Over a
period of time these employees will develop Low Back Pain, Neck and
Shoulder Pain and
Computer Slouch. All these can become chronic.,. The spine carries
important information to
and from the brain to various part of the body. If this main artery of
information is clogged or
out of service it would definitely impair ones judgment to make the
best decision for any given
situation.
In this workshop we'll use Yoga and Breath work to open up effected
areas : ranging from the
neck to the pelvis. The spine is bookended by the shoulder girdle and
the pelvic girdle. We'll
learn how to keep these areas loose, open and strengthened. Through a
simple set of
postures we can insure to keep the work force healthy, and productive.
