Subject: Re: Bothmer gymnastics in a Steiner/ waldorf School? Answered By: leli-ga on 31 Oct 2002 02:19 PST Interview with Alheidis von Bothmer “So movements need to be matched to the physical development and tothe personal, or individual development also….. If a young child is taught karate, the purpose of the movement is quite transparent. ……Whenever these movements are then made, the images are triggered and aroused…..[of] aggressive behaviour. It is possible for a teacher……to give more constructive purpose to movement.” * “I believe that if a child enjoys movement and is able to play with self-confidence, that has an effect on other things too. The joy to be capable of doing something, to achieve something reflects in their relationship to life and learning. “ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Thank-you for your question. Bothmer Gymnastics is intended to foster balance, not just physical balance but mental and spiritual balance too. It’s sometimes associated with the phrase ‘spatial dynamics’ as it aims to help older children (and adults) explore the relationship between their body and its position in space. Teachers hope that Bothmer will help their students to feel physically free even when they can no longer play as spontaneously as in early childhood. Each stage of development has its corresponding exercises. For instance, teenagers are helped to cope with the changes brought by puberty. The exercises emphasise harmony and co-ordination. Unlike conventional gymnastics they do not include any competitive or ‘aggressive’ elements, nor are they vigorous enough to have an ‘aerobic’ effect. Children I know who have experienced Bothmer Gymnastics in a Waldorf school think of it as more like dance and eurythmy and do not connect it with sport. For me this confirms that the lessons are cultivating grace and confidence more than muscular and technical skills. I hope these quotes from interviews with Bothmer teachers will help illustrate their work: “The child with his first movements wants to step out into the world. He moves freely around…… When the child goes to school we start to confine his life and movement. It is important that the gym teacher teaches the child – through movement of course – that his body is not a prison.” “……….certain exercises correspond to a certain period of the child’s development. Let’s take the age of puberty as an example. At around the age of 14 the child’s body goes through dramatic changes…….The exercises that they did as young children helped them to get to know their own bodies. Those exercises which the children learn during puberty teach them how to stand upright, how to create a harmonious relationship with the space…” “The Bothmer Gymnastics exercises are significant not only as a training of the physical body but also can help with the inner work. “ Interview with Alheidis von Bothmer http://www.bothmer-gymnastik.com/bothmer/Inteview/avbothmer.html “So movements need to be matched to the physical development and to the personal, or individual development also….. If a young child is taught karate, the purpose of the movement is quite transparent. ……Whenever these movements are then made, the images are triggered and aroused…..[of] aggressive behaviour. It is possible for a teacher……to give more constructive purpose to movement.” “I believe that if a child enjoys movement and is able to play with self-confidence, that has an effect on other things too. The joy to be capable of doing something, to achieve something reflects in their relationship to life and learning. “ * Interview with Martin Baker http://www.bothmer-gymnastik.com/bothmer/Inteview/baker.html As you may have already found, a lot of the information on Bothmer Gymnastics is unfortunately not available in English. ‘Spacial dynamics’ (yes, spacial spelt with a ‘c’) is closely related and it might help you to look at information about that, too. Some of what is written about adults will also apply to children. Bothmer work with adults is partly about correcting unhelpful physical and mental attitudes developed while growing up; for children it is about supporting healthy development. * Bothmer gymnastics – site partly in English http://www.bothmer-gymnastik.com/verband/verband.html ‘Spacial dynamics’ http://www.spacialdynamics.com/page3.html “This is an art of movement……which emphasises awareness of space around the child. From eleven to twelve years, emphasis is placed on springing and swinging, harmony and graceful movement.” * Quote from Raphael House in New Zealand http://www.raphaelhouse.school.nz/index.php?pid=34 * I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if anything needs clarification.

Charles Fréger
Wilder Mann
Wilder Mann is the new series by Charles Fréger, taken in 2010 and 2011 across eighteen European countries, from Finland to Greece.
On the trail of the “wild man” and his reemergence, Charles Fréger went in search of “Phenomena”, zoic creations that reflect the primitive form of religions and their reinterpretation in pagan rituals of fertility, sexuality, death and rebirth. Bears, boars, goats, demons and other horned, hairy beasts: Fréger catalogues these “phenomena” of the transformation of man into wild beast and glorifies them in his photographs.
Half anthropology, half photojournalism, Wilder Mann is an archive of antiquity and the customs whose original traces have been lost, a review of traditional cultures from the Middle and Neolithic Ages.
It’s a monumental work of anthropological research: carnivals, winter festivities, fertilization rituals, New Year, Epiphany…some appropriations from other cultures, others not. Certain groups can have an “extremely touristy air” while others are closed off. The study of the mythology of the wild man “is infinite.”
Faced with the “abuse of the real” of our modern world and the artifice of its imagos, Charles Fréger returns with Wilder Mann to a “Degree zero” of representation and offers us an instinctual, brute authenticity through this marvelous, animist voyage.
Taken across Europe, Fréger continues his work in areas across the world.
Still unpublished, a portfolio of the Wilder Mann series was appeared in the latest issue of the magazine Le Monde d’Hermès. The series will also be exhibited in 2012 by the Fondation Hermès in two spaces dedicated to photography: the TH13 Gallery in Berne and the Gallery at Hermès in New York.
Wilder Mann can currently be viewed at the Galerie Fotohof in Salzburg through January 21; at the Museo Vasco in Bilbao from March 7 to March 12, 2012; at the Musée de la Photographie in March 2013. An exhibition will also tour Eastern Europe in 2012.
Finally, Wilder Mann will be the subject of a book available in four languages and released by four European publishers.

miscare Bothmer, sambata 17 martie 2012
Recomand sa indrazniti sa experimentati putin Bothmer sambata, va spun din propria experienta cat de benefic poate fi pt postura, pt felul in care reactionam in anumite situatii, pt placerea de a ne juca, de a comunica cu ceilalti. E prilej de miscare si de observare a propriei persoane in raport cu spatiul si cu cei din jur, intr-un cadru fain.
Ne vedem sambata 
………………………………….
Detalii de la organizator:
Dragi prieteni, Aceasta este o invitaţie la o explorare simultană a propriului corp şi a relaţiei cu lumea exterioară. Eu în lume… ca dezvoltare personală prin observarea cât mai conştientă a dialogului dintre interior şi exterior. Perspective: cum ne simţim în corpul nostru: postură corectă, conectare la propriul corp; cum se vede lumea exterioară: deschidere, comunicare, relaţionare; a fi în percepţie; spaţiul personal ca mediator între mine şi lume; libertatea de a „produce mişcări interioare” pentru a face faţă situaţiilor exterioare. Vă invit Sâmbătă, 17 Martie între orele 9.30 – 14.30 să explorăm prin mişcare perspectivele de mai sus. Locaţie: Str.Vişinilor nr.17 (lângă hala Traian), etaj 1, ţinuta accesibilă mişcării, cost participare 60 ron.Vă aştept cu drag,Claudiu

10 People Who Used Blogs to Become Recognized as Experts in Their Field
http://expertenough.com/1098/10-experts-that-blogged-first
If there is one thing we believe here at Expert Enough it is this: Blogs have the power to change people’s lives.
In this post we are going to show how 10 experts have used blogs to become recognized as top leaders in their field.
There are millions of blogs on the web, but how many of them truly matter? Blogs are used by some people to document their worldwide travels, keep track of their diet, or even just to share pictures of people at Wal-Mart.
The current trend with some of the major social media websites such as Facebook (with the new timeline feature) and Google+ (with longer status updates) is turning towards having your own micro-blog. But, just being active on social media wouldn’t have gotten these ten people to where they are at today.
Blogging was a main factor for these 10 people reaching “expert” status and in this post we’ll dive into how they did it.
(Keep reading to the bottom of the post for a special offer on the brand new course from us: How to Start a Blog That Matters.)
1. CHRIS GUILLEBEAU (AREA OF EXPERTISE: TRAVEL HACKING)
On a quest to travel to every country in the world, Chris Guillebeau has documented his journey at The Art of Non-Conformity blog for the past 4 years. Through all of his writing he has developed himself into an expert in travel hacking.
Chris became known as the best person for figuring out how to maximize airline miles, credit card points, and hotel programs to visit anywhere in the world.
He also developed a membership program called The Travel Hacking Cartel that he shares all the latest deals on miles, hotels, and bonus credit card offers.
2. GRETCHEN RUBIN (AREA OF EXPERTISE: HAPPINESS)
What started as a simple epiphany on a cross-town bus that she wanted to be “happy”, Gretchen grew into a highly successful blog called The Happiness Project. She also authored a popular book by the same title.
Over the past few years she has inspired people to live happier lives and has become an expert on happiness.
Without her blog, she might not have had the opportunity to write her book or be featured as an answer on Jeopardy.
3. LEO BABAUTA (AREA OF EXPERTISE: CHANGING HABITS)
Wanting to simplify his life, Leo started writing at Zen Habits in order to change things about his life one piece at a time.
He quit smoking, started running marathons, started eating healthier, explored minimalism, and so much more.Everyday people learn how to change their habits through his site.
Through writing his blog he was able to build a huge audience of people also looking to simplify and improve their own lives. Zen Habits has since been feature on Time’s top 25 blogs in the world twice and Leo continues to do only things that he enjoys doing.
4. JOSH KAUFMAN (AREA OF EXPERTISE: ALTERNATIVE BUSINESS ED)
In 2005, Josh started a project called The Personal MBA. He set out to create an alternative to getting an expensive Master’s in Business Administration (a degree that sometimes costs people upwards of six figures to get).
As Josh kept updating the expansive “best business books” list on his site, people started to look up to him as an expert in affordable business education.
Early last year he published a book that has stayed in the top 0.1% of all business books sold on Amazon.com since its publication in January, 2011. Josh formulated the perfect list of lessons people need to learn in business first on his blog, and then in his successful book.
5. STEVE KAMB (AREA OF EXPERTISE: FITNESS & ADVENTURE TRAVEL)
As the rebel leader of Nerd Fitness, Steve teaches desk jockeys how to get fit.
The sheer number of people that are highly active in the Nerd Fitness forums and the success stories he gets from his fans show that Steve is an expert at motivating people to get in shape.
Through his blog, Steve has been able to build a location independent business around helping people get in shape. He now has three guides (general fitness, strength, and running) that people can use to take an pro-active role in their health.
6. DANIELLE LAPORTE (AREA OF EXPERTISE: BUSINESS AUTHENTICITY)
At her blog, White Hot Truth, Danielle teaches entrepreneurs and businesses how to inject authenticity into their otherwise boring brands.
She teaches the act of self-realization through her writing, one-on-one coaching, and speaking.
Just check out her speaking page to get a taste for the authenticity and fire starting aspect that surrounds her. By blogging just like she would talk in real-life, she has created a brand around herself that would be hard to portray only being offline.
7. BENNY LEWIS (AREA OF EXPERTISE: LANGUAGE HACKING)
Our first guest on The Expert Enough Show, Benny Lewis, makes a living off of teaching people foreign language hacking. But he doesn’t teach people in person, he teaches people through his blog Fluent in 3 Months.
As he travels to new countries to learn new languages himself, he shares lessons he’s learns along the way on his blog (sometimes in multiple languages).
His flagship course teaches people that you can speak from day 1 when you are learning a new language.
8. ADAM BAKER (AREA OF EXPERTISE: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DEBT)
In the process of paying off his family’s consumer debt and traveling through Australia and New Zealand, Adam started writing at Man Vs. Debt. Adam has now become an expert at helping people pay off their debt.
He is an expert at teaching people how to sell their crap, un-automate their finances, and pay off their debt.
Adam has studied and understands what makes people go into debt in the first place and struggle to fight their way out of it. He learned all of these things by connecting with people through his blog, sharing what he’s learned in his new podcast, and helping people make big financial changes in their lives.
9. LAURA ROEDER (AREA OF EXPERTISE: SOCIAL MEDIA)
If there is a social media platform you want to learn the ins and outs of for your business, Laura has a course on it.
Laura used blogging to build an audience for her business and then leveraged her blog on social media all over the web.
One of her most popular courses, Zero to Facebook, has helped a ton of people build a presence on Facebook from scratch. She has become an expert in teaching people how to dominate social media.
10. PAMELA SLIM (AREA OF EXPERTISE: COACHING ENTREPRENEURS)
Pam’s brand, Escape from Cubicle Nation, is both a popular bookand blog. By blogging about topics that new entrepreneurs are interested in hearing about, she was able to build up a strong brand around herself.
Pam now speaks to and coaches cubicle renegades all over the world.
By building an audience at her blog, Pam positioned herself as the expert that could help them the most.
BONUS: SETH GODIN (AREA OF EXPERTISE: MARKETING)
While Seth was known to some before he started blogging, writing his daily thoughts on his typepad website took him to the next level.
Now, all of his books are instant hits, his blog posts get thousands of shares everyday, and he is considered a marketing guru.
Blogging took Seth Godin from famous to expert.
***
Anyone can create a blog in 5 minutes, but very few people will create blogs that matter.
That’s why we’ve put together a brand new course called How to Start a Blog That Matters.
This course is meant for three groups of people. This course might be for you if:
- you’re thinking about starting a new blog, from scratch, or
- you’re unhappy with the results you’ve gotten from a blog you recently launched, or
- you’re doing OK with your blog, but want to re-brand and re-launch it to take things to the next level
How to Start a Blog that Matters is a 90-day action plan for starting a new blog from the ground up. It includes 13 weekly lessons, over 8 hours of video tutorials, 2 bonus case studies, 2 interviews with Leo and Danielle from above, and step-by-step action plans.
Blogging can change people’s lives. It has changed ours and it can change yours too.

Mesaj de la Claudiu Panculescu, organizatorul acestor cursuri:
Dragi prieteni,
Vă urez ca în 2012 să vă împliniţi cât mai multe dintre dorinţe!
Doresc apoi să vă spun câteva cuvinte despre hainele cele noi pe care cursul deschis de gimnastică Bothmer (din zilele de luni) le va îmbrăca începând din 2012:
Pornind de la faptul că ne naştem cu un set de pattern-uri inconştiente pe care le numim arhetipuri…
… că adesea nu ne dăm seama când un arhetip ne influenţează (într-un sens sau altul) modul în care
relaţionăm cu ceilalţi…
… şi că devenind mai conştienţi de arhetipurile pe care le trăim, ne creăm o viaţă sufletească mai bogată şi mai împlinită (cultivându-le într-un sens nou, conştient)…
Vă invit să explorăm împreună anumite arhetipuri şi vă propun să începem cu arhetipurile zodiacului, activându-le interior şi echilibrându-le prin căutarea unui raport just şi conştient între forţele spaţiale arhetipale exterioare. Vom face acest lucru prin jocuri, exerciţii de amplificare a percepţiei, mişcări cu sens şi exerciţii tipice gimnasticii Bothmer.
Vom lucra la fiecare arhetip zodiacal câte 3-4 întâlniri, în zilele de Luni, între orele 19:00 – 21:00, iar costul unei întâlniri este de 20 ron.
Pentru cei care nu sunt disponibili lunea, dar sunt interesaţi să lucreze prin mişcare temele respective, există posibilitatea să se reia tema din fiecare lună printr-un workshop de câteva ore într-una din zilele de Sâmbătă ale lunii respective, dacă vor fi îndeajuns de mulţi doritori.
Detaliile despre tematica zodiei Capricorn, în afişul din attach:
PDF prezentare workshop: capricorn
Prezentul mesaj nu trebuie în niciun caz înţeles în sensul că doar nativii acestei zodii pot sau ar trebui să participe ci, dimpotrivă, recomandarea este să se lucreze cât mai multe zodii (ideal toate), pentru că lucrul cu dispoziţiile zodiacale în diversitatea lor întregeşte imaginea despre relaţia om-cosmos.
Pe cei care doresc să participe îi rog să mă anunţe prin tel/sms/e-mail, precizând dacă pot participa lunea sau sâmbăta.
Vă aştept cu drag,
Claudiu, 0723 144 201

Update:
Sambata 14 ianuarie, de la ora 9 – 14 cu o pauza de pranz, workshopul pt cei care nu pot ajunge lunea, este un curs deschis tuturor. Detalii la telefonProgramul este:
9.00 – 11.00 partea 1

7 lucruri pe care sa le faci de Craciun
1.
gaseste un moment de liniste si bucurie simpla, traieste-l din toata inima
2.
fa cuiva un cadou necostisitor, poate chiar facut cu mainile tale – o portocala cu cuisoare
3.
Muzica, fa-ti un playlist cu cateva melodii de suflet, muzica gasesti pe toate canalele, dar e buna si o selectie
4.
Imbratiseaza din toata inima si ofera caldura sufleteasca intr-un mod sincer
5.
Bucura-te de o masa cumpatata dar bogata cu povesti cu talc si oameni frumosi. Experienta de a manca alaturi de oameni dragi la o masa mare nu o vei intalni prea des poate de-a lungul anului (o masa mare poate incepe si cu doar 2 oameni, daca ei traiesc momentul prezent
6.
Respira aer curat, rezervati un timp intre Craciun si Revelion sa iesi la o plimbare inspirativa in natura, e un moment bun sa reflectezi la anul ce a trecut si ce iti poate adduce cel nou. Nu gandii insa prea mult, bucura-te de plimbare.
7.
Fa un gest generos fata de cineva care are nevoie
Sarbatori frumoase tuturor, si fie ca din aceste zile sa ne insoteasca si peste an!
