Bringing Somatic Awareness to Our Implicit Biases
Chris Ruane
Presentation:
Implicit biases are our non-conscious preferences that influence our decisions and actions which can be unintentionally discriminatory. In this workshop we’ll explore our own biases, how our brain works and how to act more objectively.
Chris Ruane
is a Clinical Hanna Somatic Educator, Massage Therapist, Master Pilates And Yoga Teacher with over two decades in the movement classroom and bodywork field.
Her first career in music led to a deeper under-standing of the complexities that repetitive movements cause and her frustration with the medical field drove her to seek solutions to her own pain, rather than prescribed quick fixes or unnecessary medication. Combining those with an insatiable desire to understand and a hobby as an adult Irish dancer competing with women decades younger, Chris understands the experiences of an aging Soma, and how to work with and teach to unwinding those unconscious binds.

The After Effect
HSE Learning Community
Presenters and Attendees Wanted
The Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is a monthly group that will be hosted by Ryan Moschell and the AHSE Education Committee. This group’s mission is to cultivate our members’ continued learning and deepen our community’s connection. All AHSE members would be most welcome to attend. Together, we’d benefit Hanna Somatics as a discipline, while supporting the common growth of our clients, the general public, and ourselves as Hanna Somatic Educators.
In this online group, AHSE members are invited to volunteer to teach a topic of their choice focused on Hanna Somatic Education. Each presentation would be 15 to 30 minutes in length. You’d have the valuable opportunity to practice your presentation skills and your HSE colleagues could process your chosen topic together. You certainly don’t need to be an expert on the topic. You’d inspire the group to learn from each other through their questions and discussion.
The presenter can get a recording of their own presentation that they can present to their clients, post on social media, upload to YouTube, or use to write an article. If the content is cleared by the AHSE Education Committee, your recording can be archived in the Members section of the AHSE website.
Suggested presentation topics:
o Anatomy
o Kinesiology
o Neuroscience
o Somatic movements / Techniques
o Diagnosis - somatic interpretations and possible solutions
o A case study (With permission to share)- problems and solutions
o Translating and incorporating HSE into other disciplines.
o Other HSE-related topics…
The group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 9:30 am PDT/PST, 12:30 pm EDT/EST, 5:30 pm BST/GMT, for 60-90 minutes. The first meeting of the Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is _______________-and we already have a great presentation lined up.
We’ll need monthly presenters, so if you’d be interested in being a future presenter, Please submit a paragraph describing your topic to Ryan Moschell and the AHSE Education Committee. Let Ryan know if you have any questions about being a presenter.
