The Irish Peace Process and Parallels with Palestine
|
|
The program will begin with a brief rundown on Irish
history in the lead up to the recent phase of the conflcit beginning
in 1969, with a focus on the evolution of British colonial rule and
the partition of the island which are at the root of the conflict.
Some of the main events in the course of the past 35 years that have
led to the development of the peace process will be reviewed. Parallels
will be drawn with the situation in Palestine in terms of issues that are
relevant to both places, namely British Imperialsim, military
occupation, settlers and the problem of accomodating "opposing"
traditions and cultures in one geographic space. The presentation
overall should throw light on the current situation in Ireland and
express the need for continued solidarity and support for oppressed
peoples everywhere.
Conor McGrady is an activist and
artist from the North of Ireland who currently lives and works in New York.
As an activist he has worked extensively with
Irish Northern Aid in support in Irish Political Prisoners and the
Colombia Action Network
opposing US intervention in Colombia. He is currently a member of

Feel like you have too many balls in the air?

Adventures in Embodied Living
the convergence of Body, Mind, and Spirit
Potent action and Self-Transformation with
the Feldenkrais Method®
|
|
Most of us live our lives feeling somewhat compromised. Somehow we feel that
we're never quite doing what we want to do. We feel prevented by circumstances,
or else we feel that we're not living up to our own expectations or the
expectations of those around us. Most of us take these feelings of
dissatisfaction as a matter of course -- as part of the human condition --
which, of course, they are. What many of us don't realize is how these feelings
interact with another fact of the human condition -- that we live as embodied
beings in a gravitational field.
In this five day workshop we will explore a subject which was at the heart of
Moshe Feldenkrais' thinking in the development of his Method.
Josh Schreiber will draw on
the writing, thinking, and practices of Moshe Feldenkrais, and also on concepts
from Zen and Jewish spirituality.
A private Functional Integration® lesson is included in the cost of the
workshop.
Program fee: $120.
