I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and
The north and the south are mine.
I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.
Here’s the plan…
I lure teachers to New Mexico, to O’keeffe Country. I invite them to my home, to rest. I feed them. I show them around. I take them to Santa Fe, to Taos, to Ghost Ranch, to Christ In The Desert Monastery. I take them down the Rio Grande, to the Ojo Caliente Spa, out for some great New Mexican food. I invite them to study with me if they have a wish to learn about the Alexander Technique and/or Tai Chi. In turn, I get to learn from them. A simple exchange. Knowledge for knowledge.
If you are a seasoned teacher in any of the disciplines listed below, then perhaps you’d like to do an exchange with me. I hope so. Here is my bio. (about Bruce Fertman.) And here is a short post about Coyote, New Mexico. (about Coyote, New Mexico.)
Here’s what I want to study and learn about, not necessarily in order of priority:
1. Rolfing/Structural Integration
2. Functional Integration
3. Anatomy Trains/The Work of Thomas Myers
4. Ideokinesis
5. The Franklin Method
6. Bartenieff Fundamentals
7. BodyMind Centering
8. Bobath Concept/Therapy
9. Eutony
10. Kinomichi
11. Kyudo
12. Chanoyu/Uresenke
13. Watsu
We’ve not got much time. May through September. Five months. But once in Coyote, it’s feels like we’ve got all the time in the world. Write to me. bf@brucefertman.com.
I offer you my heart, and my hands…in exchange for yours.
Bruce
Note: I am also on the lookout for a good videographer who would like to make an art video on Tai Chi, in exchange for studying with me in Coyote. I am also looking for a literary agent who can help me find a publisher for my book, Where This Path Begins – Renderings of the Tao Te Ching.
