Awareness of movement for improved well-being focus of WOW! forum in Sequim today

SEQUIM— Katherine Wieseman will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness forum titled “Recreate & Enliven Whole Body Movement the Feldenkrais Way” at 2:30 p.m. today (Wednesday).

The forum will be at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Wieseman helps clients pay attention to the significance of physical sensations, emotion, thoughts and habitual movement patterns.

“Paying attention fosters awareness, which contributes to improving one’s quality of life,” she said.

“When we feel integration and connectedness within ourselves, we open ourselves to the new possibilities of connection with others, and create more potential to live with vitality and joy in our hearts.”

Wieseman is a guild-certified Feldenkrais practitioner who also has completed Nia White Belt training.

She has more than three decades of teaching experience in multicultural and multinational settings throughout the United States and Belgium.

WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic.

The clinic provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members.

The Basic Urgent Care Clinic is open to patients Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5 p.m.

Those interested in supporting the clinic can call 360-582-0218.
