[OSList] Movement/Dance/Somatics/Embodiment - opening space within & without!

[Jake Yeager]

Hi Tricia!

Wonderful topic.

I met Jen Freeman <https://www.linkedin.com/in/freemanjen/> this week, who
has studied tai-chi for many years and uses embodiment significantly in her
coaching and OD practice. It might be interesting to connect with her. Feel
free to mention my name and to remind her that she met me at the 2019 OD
Gathering.

Also, these books by Yuasa Yasuo might interest you:

   - The Body, Self-Cultivation, and Ki-Energy
   <https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+body+ki-energy&ref=nb_sb_noss>
   - The Body: Toward an Eastern Mind-Body Theory
   <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/088706468X/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0>

Many dancers enjoy Yuasa's work a great deal because it connects movement
to spiritual/emotional growth and expression. I studied the first book a
great deal and enjoyed it too.

Much love,
Jake
