This Course examines the life cycle of problems, as well as their structure and components. Mankind's dependency on problems for thought, growth and development is examined. Symbolic language for the components of problems is introduced to create a common design language. The relationship of values and purpose to problems is presented using a teleological framework. Cases of this framework being used to solve practical problems in government, business and socioeconomic development are presented. Students will participate in three exercises. The first captures real life situations in symbolic language to assist in problem analysis. The second utilizes a teleological model to identified individual and shared values and purpose. The third assists the student to increase leadership skills, moving from problem solving to problem finding.

In this workshop, students are guided to experience the body more consciously through the senses, including feedback received from moving the body through space (the kinesthetic sense). The atmosphere is relaxed and playful. Moving to music, we will explore a variety of images that generate different qualities of movement. Students will learn exercises that integrate the body and will often work in pairs, using movement as a means of communication. Students will also explore more introspective forms of movement that are akin to a moving meditation. This part of the workshop will be followed by reflection in the form of writing and/or drawing. We will explore concepts that are fundamental to a range of movement practices as well as bodywork. These include: The centrality of breath Balancing skeletal alignment Release of unnecessary tension Opening sensory awareness Developing the kinesthetic sense Use of touch to facilitate ease of movement & heighten proprioception Increase pleasure in movement and expand our range of movement Explore movement as a way to know ourselves more deeply
