Your Body, Your Voice

Content

Welcome to Your Body, Your Voice Activity!
Communicating You! starts with understanding ‘listening’ as the foundation of good communication. We continue by exploring the ‘Mercedes Model’ to better manage our thinking, feelings and behaviour. We playfully experience our own ability to deliver a massage and how we communicate with each other and how we manage our state and energy before concluding by looking at body language through Virginia Satir’s Categories of Body Language and then conclude with the art of positioning.
Our approach to developing the competences is through experiential learning; practical exercises and experiences, followed by reflection and applying the learning.
