The methodology of Formative Psychology teaches individuals how to participate in their embodiment. Through practice, a person learns to grow, heal, and form a personal future throughout the different stages of a life. Developing a volitional relationship between body and cortex, a person invokes bodily attitudes just below awareness. The intent is to generate experience by changing the intensity of these attitudes. The volitional management of behavior gives personal identity.
Innate responses become personal acts.
The cornerstone to becoming who we are meant to be is the ability to manage one's shape and behavior. The purpose of the practice class is to help individuals experience their somatic patterns of organization and to give them personal and social expression. Classes are taught by Stanley Keleman and are held October through June for clients of Keleman and Center associates and others who participate in the ongoing education of the Center. Although participation in the ongoing somatic practice class is limited, the methodology is introduced in all public workshops with Stanley Keleman. All programs in this brochure are held at 2045 Francisco Street, Berkeley, unless otherwise noted.
