5 Sundays in October
Time: 9-10am PDT
Dates: October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
Each Sunday, Elizabeth Larkam will lead a unique 40-minute movement sequence inspired by book chapters from The Memory Palace of Bones by David Lauterstein and Jeff Rockwell.
This will be followed by a 20-minute discussion in which participants comment on the chapters read in preparation or discuss anything regarding the book experience.
The customized sequences will incorporate fascia-focused movement, elements of Feldenkrais lessons, vision and vestibular practices, breathing practices including coherent breathing and physiological sighs.
This series is for curious, adventurous movers. Any experience of life in the body is welcome.
Before the live programming starts, you will be provided with a suggested order of book chapters to read and embody in preparation for the five meetings. It is not necessary to prepare for participation - just show up!

The Memory Palace of Bones: Exploring Embodiment Through the Skeletal System is an unprecedented exploration of the anatomy of the bones of the body, and a unique set of reflections on the role each individual bone plays in our lives, looking at both its physical and energetic contributions.
Written and presented in an imaginative and highly readable style, the book describes each individual bone and, where appropriate, the surrounding joints. It combines the anatomical expertise of the authors with their appreciation for the beauty of the body, presenting a unique perspective that values extensive clinical expertise as well as imagination as a source of wisdom and depth.
Seeing and discussing bones as a wisdom source is a topic that until now has never been systematically covered. The Memory Palace of Bones will be read and treasured by practitioners and students of massage therapy, bodywork, movement professionals, Zero Balancers, chiropractors, osteopaths, Rolfers, body-centered psychotherapists, students and teachers of yoga, performing artists and other health professionals as well as by laymen wanting a greater understanding of and connection to their bodies.
Recordings will be posted within 24 hours of classes and will be available to view until November 30, 2023.
