I had a wonderful time amongst many colleagues to share ideas with regard to rocking movements, simulation that included props with imagery, and the Feldenkrais Method.
Here are some resources from the WORKSHOP.
I WILL BE ADDING MORE…

“Mothers have always used rocking to calm down a distressed baby. The cradle is our symbol for the peace and serenity of infancy. Both young and old find that rocking chairs and swings reduce anxiety and emotional upset”
Manhattan Beach 2021
“Paying attention is the alchemy that improves the quality of action...Movement that takes place without ‘listening’ to the way it is being carried out is mechanical movement...To be aware is to have the patience to interweave listening phases throughout the fabric of your activity and to collect a lot of information about little details of doing. ”
Thinking outside
the brain
“The notion that interacting with material objects enhances students’ learning is supported by a wide range of evidence showing that such encounters heighten attention, deepen understanding, and strengthen memory.”
-Annie Murphy Paul
