Somatic Meditations for Face and Cranium
Mary Bond
Presentation:
Experiential understanding of our own patterns of expansion and compression clarifies what we see in our clients’ bodies and refines our approach to somatic therapy. In this short presentation, Mary offers explorations within and around the maxilla and mandible that pertain to balance of the cranium on the spine in standing
and walking, and to respiratory ease. (Participants should arrange to be comfortable lying supine, have a chair that seats the hips higher than the knees, and room to walk six paces or more.).
Mary Bond

Emeritus Faculty of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, she has been involved in the development of movement education for Structural Integration from the early days with Judith Aston to the current evolution through the work of Hubert Godard. She has taught somatic movement workshops throughout the USA, in UK, Europe and Australia.

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.
