NEW! Conscious Aging
- The Creative Choice
People assume that the solutions we’re seeking to age better come from outside
ourselves, but it’s important to recognize that some of the problems—as well as their
solutions—arise from within us. In other words, it’s about consciousness. Why feel
victimized by aging when you could be a creator of your experience? The focus of the
Conscious Aging workshop is to invite shifts in consciousness away from self-limitation,
lack, isolation, and fear and toward expansiveness, inclusiveness, wholeness, connection,
and compassion. Engage in dialogue together with others on these issues in small groups
that let you listen, be heard and really explore. Workbook included.

Stomp Box: Design, Build, and Rock On
Looking to get some more growl out of your electric guitar or bass? Build your own personal guitar distortion effects stomp-box! Matthew Lieb will help you learn some of the
basics of electronic components, reading schematics, and circuit design on a breadboard.
Lay out a basic distortion circuit and alter the tone and level of distortion by adding or
substituting different components until you achieve the sound that suits you and your
particular instrument. Once everything is dialed in to your liking, transfer your circuit to
a perf-board and solder all the connections while testing for continuity. Not only will you
leave the class with boutique-style effects pedal, but you’ll also gain the knowledge to try
making and customizing other effects circuits that can be found in books, magazines and
online. Recommended follow-up: Electronics courses such as Tube Amp (FABGT103) and

NEW! Exploring
Sound
The art of instrument building has been refined over hundreds of years, but few builders
understand enough of the underlying principles to make informed decisions. This
hands-on seminar uses simulations and other computer based tools to explore the basics
of sound, acoustics, sound analysis & modification (including simple analog and digital
processing), and relationships to real instruments and the music they create. Armed with
the tools and knowledge developed on this course, you will take the first steps toward
minimizing trial and error in the building process. But you need not be a builder to
benefit. Anyone interested in audio engineering and music studio operation will find this
a good introduction for related Fab Lab courses. And musicians will discover a wealth of
information to help better understand and appreciate their instruments.

In this new and expanded workshop format you will learn about the myofascial
tissue and its many roles in the body. You will begin to appreciate how the body
incorporates the Anatomy Train Lines to create easy and graceful movement –
provided they are in some form of balance and harmony; restriction or weakness in
one section can have many knock-on effects elsewhere. This workshop will show
you how that happens, how to trace the lines of strain and, most importantly, how
you can develop strategies to deal with them.
This is the first workshop to combine Anatomy Trains theory alongside structural
and functional anatomy and analysis, blending together the concepts of tensegrity
with elastic recoil for movement efficiency.
Get the latest information on fascia, muscle, and movement. Be able to identify the
12 myofascial meridians and their link to human growth, development, perception
and consciousness. Accurately “BodyRead” posture and movement; assess your
clients in a new way. Gain effective myofascial and movement strategies. Develop
treatment strategies specific to your clients’ structural and functional patterns.

for Neck and Jaw
Dysfunction of the neck & jaw affects over 1/3 of the adult population. These dysfunctions
can be very disabling. Whether the cause of the dysfunction is from a traumatic injury
or from chronic effects of age, posture and life in general, muscle imbalances and soft
tissue changes make it difficult to effectively treat these individuals with simple, passive
massage approaches.
The session will enable students to recognize common dysfunctions and demonstrate
comprehensive evaluation techniques and clinical problem solving, utilize postural assessment to develop a treatment plan focused on improving function rather than focusing
on impairments and incorporate myofascial, trigger point, and neuromuscular therapy as
well as other massage modalities as an integral part of the treatment protocol.
