Hi all,

I've done a tiny bit of Authentic Movement, felt great resonance, and am seeking

a) someone (or perhaps a group?) with whom I feel resonance to practice with near the Belmont area (1/2 hour south of SF).

for longer-term exploration, i like the idea of a lay-group rather than a paid, facilitated group per the ones advertised on the Authentic www.authenticmovement-usa.com/
website

b) paid coursework options. the coursework at www.authenticmovement-usa.com/ seems to be inactive.

c) reviews of the below books:

_x__Offering from the Conscious Body, The Discipline of Authentic Movement by Janet Adler $21.25
_x__Authentic Movement: Essays by Mary Starks Whitehouse, Janet Adler, and Joan Chodorow edited by Patrizia Pallaro. $34.95.
_x__Body and Earth: An Experiential Guide, by Andrea Olsen. $23.00

if book learning is the closest, cheapest, easiest way to dive in, i thought i'd go for it but those of you who've read the above books might feel strongly about one and not another?

i'd be glad to borrow these books too to skim/read. i'd take good care of them!

thank you,
antonia
