Bodywise
BODYWISE aims to promote men's awareness and ownership of their emotional and physical wellbeing and improve their capacity for satisfying relationships. Each session will begin with a short ‘check-in' and an introduction to the session theme. This is followed by a mix of exercises and discussion. Sessions always include a short tea break.
The course is held over eight sessions which include:
Session one - Men, the body, and wellbeing
the body - an important and neglected focus for men's wellbeing
Session two - That body or my body
to be me or not to be me? ...that is the question!
Session three - ‘Getting down and laying around' -
progressive body awareness and relaxation training
Session four - The stressed body
stress - what's my coping style?
Session five - Emotional postures
how do I organize myself through my body to meet the world?
Session six - Coming to my senses
getting back to the basics of being ‘sense-able 'and ‘response-able' in the world
Session seven -Embodying conversation
the use and importance of putting words to feelings in conversation and relationships
Session eight - Review
looking at were we've been, bringing it all together and saying goodbye
