The world wall has bloken Dear Respected Teacher My whole being is grateful. I am singing and dancing inside with a vibrance and brightness never felt before. After so many years of building walls of protection from the world I realize the world is inside me. I was building these walls holding myself away from my SELF. I feel I have found through you the way to dissolving these walls. So that I fully and honestly embrace myself and embrace the whole world. I thank you for all the years you have spent searching and listening and working with yourself so that now we can come and resonate and learn to discover our selves. it is rare to such a TRUE MASTER! I feel GRATEFUL and FORTUNATE. Bindu Gyanam |

Some valueable keys will be located here → ＹＥＡＨ！ my impressions thus far of subbody dance are of a positive+nature. The course appears to be a hidden jewel nested and sparking clearly right here in Dharamsala. I had no idea what i was stepping in the right stop. it is as if i have stepped into a SPACE where movement, the realms of consciousness, science, the dimensions of reality, dream, imagination, life, death, and everything in between can begin a strange unusual synthesis together. i feel honored to be studying with a creature such as Lee. i have yet to meet another human quite like him. These last few years of my evolution i feel a growing connection with something Japanese and what a great gift to be able to learn from a mature wise Ｊapanese male. The style of teaching, organization of theme, trusting, calm, solid, zen like emission of energy, and kindness provides a needed frequency to begin to attempt to resonance with. Some valueable keys will be located here → ＹＥＡＨ！ i appreciate how our day is organized for the course, it begins and ends calmly which synchronizes well with my being. The progression is prety " in synch" as well. From meditaton to breathing to light movement, teachings, vocals, & creativity & performance love the group connection, resonance & respect. Lunch is lovely, healthy, generous, & fresh. Its delivered timely & friendly → not to mention the amazing space, company & view. The day is well planned, peaceful & enjoyable! + the bonus of Wendenesday being nurturing & rejuvenating! ...... and Friday nites → hot water/ dinner party is such a beautiful connecting time! Wow! What an honor to experience someything so deep, strange, wild, fun, necessary, & stimulating on a variety of levels delivered with such obvious wisdom, care, love, elass, intellect & intuition. I am very pleased to have this oppotuity here. Although i am a loquacious lady → my gratitude is deeper than words! Thanks 18Ｊｕｎｅ ２００６ Kim Silva |

You will meet the secret of butoh in your body I have a hard time to find out the answer of Butoh.Many people try to explain it in words but it is still not clear-cut.I have been learned butoh with Japanese Butoh teacher but I still lost in Butoh. I took one month course in this school and now everything change. Many technique leaded my ego out which is the eclipse of butoh.When my body and mind out of ego.I can meet my wholeself that is some secret thing in my body and butoh live there. Butoh is something beyond words and thought.Whenever i try to catch it by my head.i lost it in the same time but if i just throw my ego out and listen in my body,i will touch it.Butoh live in my body.It is still there all the time. Whoever want to know "What is butoh?" this school can help and bring you to Butoh's World. in you body. |

To become friends with my shadow side * Good variety of exercises. Many beautiful exercises to share with my new friends that made me feel comfortable with them and myself. * The week builded up a process with an ending on friday, I enjoyed the process, even though the video camera freaked me out. I will make sure I see the video, so next friday I am beyond it. * I can now see that my subbody dance was little colored by wanting to perform and to show many creatures and that I did not go deep enough into each of them, and connect with the deeper emotional meaning of the pattern. This week I am putting my mind aside totally and the subbody will guide my movements alone. * i had many beautiful experiences during the week. The only part that is a bit confusing for me is the aspect of performing, that we repeat the same creatures and keep them and try to find a certain amount of creatures during this month. * To become friends with my shadow side is a very important process for me. And to feel less identified with it, I have learned a lot in one week and also gone through some interesting process. * 5 days a week seems to intense for me and most people I know that did your workshop. This subconscious work needs some time to digest in between wednesday off would support the process. |

Discover newer dimensions Paal Viken Bakke age: 34 Norwagian Puppeteer A perfect way to let your body and mind free. To just do things that you seek for in the subconscious. Explore your mind without so much talk. A direct and open cource. That ends in a super dinner. A concentration trainig your openness. Let things in and respond it out. No right or wrong. Awareness of your mind gives me surprisingly joy. My body is backwhere it should be. Deep training and no sweat. All the cource I felt in very good hands. Lee has a personality and knowledge that makes you relax and focus on the right things. I can highly recomend this cource of finding your subconscious. A practical cource in deep mind. It sets you to "the Edge" and you discover newer dimensions I was not aware of.. I will come back home with my soul full of mental vitamins and my body ready as ever. |

What do you want the most When I met Lee at the first time, he said that listen to your body always, Before I could not touch to my traumas and dissociations at all because of fear. When I contact with them, strong emotion came up and I could not control it. I asked to Lee what should I do when I confused by this. He answered to me the following; 1 Notice that it is your subbody. 2 Recieve it as a part of your whole self, even if it is very ugly and miserable one. 3 Become friend with the subbody for long time. 4 Dance the subbody with becoming it by your whole body and mind. 5 After dancing as the subbody, calm down yourself by using calming technique which you learn at this school. 6 You know the nature and charactor of the subbody gradually. 7 When subbody can come out in the creative subbody butoh world, subbody become calm and friendly with you. The dager of accidental discharge will decrease. 8 When the accidental discharge occur unfortunately, we hug the subbody by all. then it will calm down. I tryed these advices and I could travel to the deeper world of the darkness of my body, and connect with them. Through these expieriences finally I found that I could unify my different charactors which are separated for a long time. Especially in my case, Sara as a physical performer and Aiko Kobayashi as a dailly body was completely separated, but now they become oneness. Off course, he does not remove our problems. he give us the chance and way how to face our problems by his many methods. We have to continue to face them and overcome. Through this one month expieriences, sometime it was hard for me But when I notice my whole self, I found that this is true myself which are released from every bounds. When I did not know about the enemies, I was afraid them. but after knowing about them I am not afraid. The last day Lee said to me the same word as the first day. Yes, I will continue to ask my self the question from now on. I apriciate to the many friends who met at this school and Lee from my heart. 07/04/06 Sara |
