JRA Advanced Training
Instructor : Ray McCall
Co-teacher: Hiroyoshi Tahata

Dr. Rolf said, “It is easier to see the likenesses among people and to workon them in the same way than it is to see their radical individuality and totailor our work to that distinctiveness.”
The purpose of the Advanced Training is to explore how to develop a client
centered series or session based on the principles of intervention and theclientʼs needs and goals. We will review the internal logic of Dr. Rolfʼs ten series
and how the goals of the 10 series evoke integration, which is one of the mostimportant aspects of our work. We will review neck work, back work andtracking as ways to evoke integration. We will also explore positional strategies
and movement interventions, including core connectivity, to bring about higher
levels of change and integration. Along with speci c manipulation skills,
including increasing our range of contact, we will enhance our ability to bepresent with ourselves and with our client.
When we are truly present we can perceive what needs to be done. Developing
perception is a life-long process that leads to the deliberate and appropriate useof self, precise interventions, and the ability to evaluate and track the e ects ofour work. The course material will be explored through lectures, practicums andinstructor demonstrations.
Practitioners will exchange a supervised series with one another, and with anoutside classroom client. Through these activities we will learn to strategize andperform a principle guided series which addresses the structural, functional andintegration needs of each practitioner and each client. Also, a portion of thecourse will include the instructorsʼ latest interests, innovations and discoveries.

“We must learn how to feel our way into the person and wait for what thebody wants to show us, not impose our will on the body.”
