Aspects of Innovation

Understanding the mind-body unit as a resource and recipient of learning to educate oneself to access one's own resources and achieve and refine transversal learning objectives, including self-empowerment, self-efficacy, resilience.

Education through Gesture: Experience from Eastern Corporeal Practices

Getting aware of our physical posture is not obvious but needs education, not only by intellectual understanding but also through real experiences. Eastern tradition moves from three irreplaceable key-points, to be aware of, to train and coordinate together: body – mind – breath.

• Posture adjustment: aligning the body segments, realizing the force that anchors on the ground and the force that extends upwards
• Regulation of attention: activating attention, driving it to specific points and keeping it stable
• Regulation of breathing: observing the presence of the breath and coordinating it with movement, in a slow and steady rhythm

Learning to Discern, Listen and Feel

Every exercise is bound to enhance awareness of one’s own posture and correct it, in different situations: standing still, walking, sitting, laying.
Every exercise aims to let the person realise and feel:

• “I can find my place correctly in the space”
• “I can lead my attention to the gesture or even in static situation”
• “I am able to listen the rhythm of my breath, feel the right tension of my muscles, feel what is near, inside, and outside my bodily experience”

Giving Voice to the Body for a Renewed Culture of Well-being Meant as Being-Factor-of-Goodness

• Interpreter of life's skills through an understanding equipped both from a theoretical investigation perspective and from the perspective of the experiential instance
• Effective with respect to the internalisation of a sense of responsibility-responsibility
• Ready in giving tools - of reflection and action - adequate to realise correspondence between the sphere of idea-aspiration and appropriate life attitudes-conducts
