THE TEACHERS

Bill Palmer
Bill Palmer was one of the pioneers of oriental bodywork and Qigong in Europe in the seventies. He recognized that the basis of oriëntale approach was to “facilitate inner communication”. He began to study how people could access oppressed parts of their personality through their body and through movement. He worked for ten years with teachers within the voice work of Alfred Wolfson and Roy Hart tradition. He studied Qigong, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Developmental Movement Therapy and Drama Therapy. He is the director of the School of Experiential Education, a school for learning through exploration and improvisation. Bill is the initiator of the shiatsu-style “Movement Shiatsu”. He teaches Movement Shiatsu around the world. He is also regularly involved in music improvisation.

My central belief is that we, as individuals, are not wise enough to know what is best for another person. Therefore, I do not try to understand what to do by diagnosis and theory. Instead, I focus on helping people to feel into themselves through their body sensations and their natural life process. My work is now more like education than therapy.
