HOSTING GUEST TEACHERS IN VANCOUVER BC CANADA
I gave a two day workshop in July, 2012 which was held at the studio of Katarina Halm. The studio space was wonderful for our workshop, easily accommodating nine participants. The large space was great for whole group attunements, Focusing and sharing, as well as for a group Focusing process called “Theatre of the Living Body,” or “Living Theatre.” In addition, there was ample space to break into dyads for experiential practicing in pairs. There is also a kitchen area that is very accessible.
I am most grateful for her support, assistance, and good spirits throughout the process. I highly recommend her for any future workshops – and look forward to returning to Vancouver.
HOSTING GUEST TEACHERS IN VANCOUVER BC CANADA
Katarina organized workshops in Vancouver for me in 2010 and 2011, and will do so again in 2012. These workshops were held in her Studio, which I’ve found to be a delightful venue. It is open, airy, and well lit — a comfortable place to teach, and from the reactions of my students, a comfortable place to learn, as well. Katarina’s support both in organizing and promoting the workshops in advance and in hosting and facilitating them as they occurred has been invaluable.
FOCUSING AND DREAMS
Dreams can be an amazing resource in our lives, and are well worth learning about. In addition, Gendlin’s writing on dreams is an excellent bridge into the Philosophy of the Implicit; and Katarina is a excellent teacher, who approaches her subject with wonderful energy, sensitivity, and intelligence.
T’AI CHI
I’m happy to hear that Katarina’s T’ai Chi lessons in Dunbar are continuing to go well. There are so many people in that area who have a real interest in T’ai Chi Chuan and who will continue to benefit from Katarina’s knowledge and sensitivity.Katarina’s studio-garden is one of the most beautiful places to practice T’ai Chi that I have ever seen.
I have been pleased to support Katarina’s application for inclusion as a Level 3 instructor within ‘The Canadian Taijiquan Federation’.
I have been teaching T’ai Chi since 1989 and have known Katarina for at least the past fifteen years. Her background in dancing and movement gave Katarina a head start when she began her study of T’ai Chi and she has applied herself to developing a knowledge and practice of T’ai Chi with a strong sense of purpose. Katarina is an excellent teacher, setting an example of balance and harmony for her students. She has continued to seek out new ways of teaching T’ai Chi in order to keep the studies fresh and insightful.
I hope Katarina will continue to teach for many more years and share her special knowledge of T’ai Chi with students in Vancouver.
