Colleagues,
GSI is holding a six-week Advanced Class in Structural Integration in
Boulder from July to August. Leading this class will be Tom Wing and
Jeff Linn. Tom and Jeff will be presenting the five series which has
been taught since Dr. Rolf's passing as well as creative
improvisations derived from Tom's training experience with Dr. Rolf in
the 1970's. As you probably know Tom is a former beloved faculty
member of the Rolf Institute who is now on the GSI faculty. He is
prominently featured in Betsy Sise's new book "The Rolfing
Experience". He brings a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime's
experience with him. Jeff is a former faculty member at IPSB in San
Diego, having originally taught with Ed Maupin beginning in the early
90's, and has been a GSI faculty member since 2001. He has done
extensive studies of Dr. Rolf's classroom lectures from the 1960's and
1970's as well as having attended, assisted and co-taught many basic
and advanced classes with Peter Melchior and Emmett Hutchins. Advanced
classes at the Guild commonly provide ample time for technical skill
enhancement, theoretical discussions, questions and discussion. Guild
Advanced Classes encompass a review of the ten series as well as the
opportunity to trade a five session series with a class partner, work
with two outside clients in the five session format and one client
through the classic ten series. While the class will cover specific
topics such as technical skill enhancement, practice and theory there
will still be ample time for students to discuss practice concerns
that are specific to them. With three days off per week you will have
plenty of time to enjoy the peak season for outdoor activities in
Boulder and the surrounding area and GSI has an extensive housing list
with many affordable options.

There are currently spaces available in this class. Pre-requisite for
this class is eligibility for or active IASI membership and a minimum
of three years of active practice in SI. (There is also space
available for advanced practitioners to audit the class at a reduced
rate.) Contact Susan or Cristina at the Guild in order to secure your
place for this dynamic perspective on the extension of the traditional
perspective of Ida Rolf.
