Darren begins part 2 of his training in Somatic Experiencing. Somatic Experiencing® is a body-awareness approach to trauma being taught throughout the world. It is the result of over forty years of observation, research, and hands-on development by Dr. Peter Levine. Based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, Somatic Experiencing has touched the lives of many thousands. SE® restores self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away. Peter has applied his work to combat veterans, rape survivors, Holocaust survivors, auto accident and post surgical trauma, chronic pain sufferers, and even to infants after suffering traumatic births.
Darren hopes to use this modality to inform his work with traumatised individuals and in his work as an animateur and workshop leader, especially with regard to Circular Sounds, the transformative training programme he has devised with Joellen Lily.
An evening of songs inspired by Salthouse 09, a contemporary art exhibition taking place within the historic Church at Salthouse on the North Norfolk Coast. Darren and Lindy Tennent-Brown have responded to this year’s theme, Salt of the Earth and directly to many of the pieces commissioned with songs ranging from the Baroque to the West End stage. Surrounded by the art works themselves, Darren and Lindy hope that this will bring the exhibition to life in unexpected and enjoyable ways, adding the missing dimension of music to complete curator Simon Martin’s theme. We hope to see you there.
