> Enliven Your Movement and Invigorate your Work at this Spacial Dynamics? Workshop
>  
> On Thursday we will be outdoors working with tools on the land at Crabtree Farms.  If you work on the land, or spend your days bending, lifting, walking, pushing, shoveling, climbing, chopping, hammering, hoeing or if you want to move better when just playing  -  then this workshop will be of amazing value. In this Spacial Dynamics? workshop we will learn to use our body and our spatial gestures in balanced, rhythmical, pain-free and effective ways when working or doing heavy labor.   We will practice developing greater ability and capacity to use our most valuable work tools: our body and our space.  Physical movement and work can be highly reinforcing, motivating and refreshing when one is doing what one loves well; or it can be physically exhausting and defeating if done poorly.  Together we will learn to improve our work movements and proper tool use.
>  
> On Friday and Saturday we will be in a gym moving and will be introduced to Spacial Dynamics activities which will reinforce our work on Thursday.  This course is for everyone who would like to learn to move better and more effectively.   Teachers, musicians, parents, students, craftsmen, farmers, active sports enthusiasts or any one who wants to move towards developing a life full of effective and graceful movement. The course will be full of movement and is applicable for all ages. If you can't make it Thursday or feel you are not up to spending a day outdoors working on the land, then sign up for the Friday and Saturday workshop.
>  
> You will need outdoor clothes and shoes for Thursday and please bring tools that you would like to learn to work better with (shovel, hoe, scythe, ax, hammer, etc.) You will need indoor clothes and shoes that you can move in for Friday and Saturday morning.  There are several lodging options please email for details.  Meals will be served at the farm, please email for details.

> Jaimen McMillan: (Founder of Spacial Dynamics)
> Description of Spacial Dynamics from the website: http://www.spacialdynamics.com/english/
>  
> Spacial Dynamics? is the study and enhancement of the relationship between the human being and space through various movement techniques and activities. Students of Spacial Dynamics? learn to experience the space around them as an alive and vibrant medium which is just as important to their movement as the physical body itself. By becoming conscious of this space and the dynamic forces of the movements within it, the physical body learns to follow these movements, to ease into them.
> 
> When the body moves into a dynamic space that has already been created for it, the movement itself can be performed with less effort, greater effect, enhanced mental clarity.  Spacial Dynamics?, developed over 25 years ago by master athlete Jaimen McMillan, gives the individual the experience of the healthy, harmonious continuum between the body and surrounding space. One of the basic principles of Spacial Dynamics? is that what one sees as a movement in space is not what one must do to create it. A simple example is a basic jump up into the air. What one sees is a person going up into the air, but in order for that person to go up, they must push down. It is the pushing down that creates the movement upward; it is the moving down that is the hidden dynamic behind the visible movement. Spacial Dynamics? exercises used to help learn and integrate the human being's relationship to dynamic space are as varied as the interests of the people themselves.

> Sequatchie Valley Institute (SVI) had its genesis in 1971 as a family-based homestead located on the escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, which borders the beautiful Sequatchie Valley. The 340-acre homestead has been home for a sustainable lifestyle, deeply integrated with the forest ecosystem. Since 1996, this unique setting has evolved into a learning center and model for sustainable living, known as the Sequatchie Valley Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization.
