ROCK AND WATER WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE
3 Day Rock and Water Workshops - National Tours
Rock and Water workshops are delivered throughout Australia throughout the year and are open to all educators. Rock and Water workshops will be presented by our Master Instructors and Freerk Ykema, director of the Gadaku Institute, founder of the program.
This training provides a survey of the entire program. The emphasis of Day 1 is on the contents of Lessons 1 to 4: standing strong, the Rock and Water attitude in physical, mental and social contexts; dealing with pressure from others. Day 2 extends the range of exercises and topics: breathing to extend physical power and to maintain self-control; the body language of ‘The Tunnel’ and of ‘The Beach’; feeling, setting and respecting your own and other people’s boundaries. All lessons from 1 to 8 are practiced on Day 3.
Lessons 9 to 13 are about self-realisation and so are more suitable for older students. They address lack of direction, sexuality and personal development. Lessons 9 to 13 are best directed at boys only. Cost is
$750.00 per person (includes GST, manual and catering)
$1040.00 per person (includes GST, Manual, catering, theory book, basic exercise dvd and RW poster packs 1 &2, Bringing it Together - 22 case studies)
