Welcome to the Flying Trapeze! First time She Climbs Mountains students are introduced to the equipment and facilities and given a quick overview of safety requirements. Next you will be taught a ‘knee hang’ position to practice on our low trapeze bar. Then it’s up the ladder to the Trapeze Rig. One instructor remains with you on the Trapeze Rig, another pulls the safety lines and the third remains on the ground offering corrections/encouragement/assistance as needed.
During the final portion of the class, the third instructor becomes the "Catcher" and climbs onto the Rig to catch the students as you perform your trick. This is the final step of the first day and most people consider it the highlight.
Following trapeze, we will join in a discussion with Dr. Sherry Walling regarding grief, loss, and how movement can benefit us on our healing journey. Dr. Walling is clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, mental health advocate, and the author of Touching Two Worlds: A Guide for Finding Hope in the Landscape of Loss.
Best attire is something you feel comfortable moving in, and as we'll be working with safety equipment long pants and shirts that cover the midriff are strongly recommended. A light snack and drinks will be provided. All participants must complete this waiver prior to the event date.
$75 per person for the 2-hour workshop; each participant will receive a copy of Dr. Sherry Walling’s book, Touching Two Worlds
