Oi Mestre Dê,

Sou aluna da Unidade Moema, faço um trabalho Social com 50 cães abandonados e estou organizando um evento para adoção desses fofos. O evento acontecerá na frente da Unidade Moema no dia 30 de abril. No dia vai rolar coreografias do Método e a famosa Feijoada da Nina!  Gostaria de convidar a todos os alunos e instrutores.

Segue folder de divulgação abaixo.

Dear DeRose,

We are proud that one important magazine made another article about DeRose Method London.
I want to share this with our readers, sorry for my short text but I am packing up the luggage to our workshop in London!

And here is the front page!

Director of DeRose Method London Representative

Author: Gustavo Cardoso

When you are in the practice room facing your DeRose Method instructor you probably do not realize the amount of time and effort they have invested to arrive where they are now.

They all started exactly like you, sitting in the practice room, enjoying what they were doing. In my case, when I was a student I could not think of anything but the next class with my instructor Prof. Leticia Ziebell, today living in Portugal.

When I decided to become an instructor the training was less formal than it is today. More akin to that of the Indian monasteries, where all the knowledge comes from the Master and it is up to the disciple to accept it or not. In the Indian vision of the discipleship, if the disciple does not agree with what is being taught he is entitled to leave, but never to question, ask why, or refuse to do what the Master has prescribed.

Today, in order for a candidate to start their training they must pass an examination in front of a jury of three members. If they are approved at this stage, they will carry on to take a test on general knowledge.

Having passed this, the first stage of the training involves extensive reading covering subjects such as philosophy, asana, pránáyáma, history and the genealogy of the million year old philosophy that constitutes the Method. In this stage the instructor must write essays about various subjects as well as produce a final thesis on a topic of their choice that is, of course, related to our philosophy and coherent with its roots. This is just the theoretical side!

At the same time the instructor must be working on the physical and practical aspects of the training. They must create their own three to five minute choreography, respecting a series of technical facets such as didactic angles and the execution of the exercises among many others. The instructor must memorise the name of over 2000 ásanas, 108 mudrás, 54 breathing exercises, among other techniques, as well as knowing how to execute them all in perfection. Their knowledge of the ásanas for example, is tested through an ásanas draw. The instructor must be able to execute to perfection any of the randomly chosen ásanas.

In order to become an instructor, the candidate must finally assemble a complete class within exactly twenty minutes filled with theory, eight parts, a choreographic sequence, and the many details it implies, failing to present within this time limit has severe penalty.

Both the theoretical and practical aspects however are worthless if the candidate does not show that they value and respect the tradition in which the Method is rooted and its vast family, the egregora of the method.

Such respect is evaluated through the candidates attitudes toward their instructors in various scenarios where they are required to surpass themselves. It is under difficult or even extreme situations that one’s true value is exposed. For this reason, sometimes the teacher must play a role generating stress. A very common phrase we know is, “only when we hit strongly a bell can we see the quality of its metal”.

Finally, the candidate is examined at one of the Federations of the DeRose Method, by a jury of three more experienced instructors who will evaluate everything the candidate has learned as well as their attitude.

Our goal is to train the instructor sitting in front of you to have deep philosophical, practical and theoretical knowledge as very few do, after completing an intensive one year training followed by four years under the tutorship of a more experienced DeRose Method instructor.

In a world that every day brings things forward in an increasingly quicker way, I would not hesitate to state that the instructors trained by this school are oceans away from this tradition. This is why when I sign the authorisation form for any instructors trained by me, I am sure that they will be approved by the examination jury. Their readiness becomes apparent and can be clearly felt during their classes, in a philosophical discussion or even in their behaviour, ethically beyond reproach, since any fault will result in a notice and any repeated fault in irrevocable expulsion.

For these reasons we are proud of what we do and we do not have reservations when station the following: When you are in the practice room or in the changing room, at the DeRose Method school, you are with the finest professionals you could have before you.

All the best. Join me next week

Oi Mestrão,

aproveito para compartilhar um trecho em vídeo de uma entrevista gravada em 1988 por Bill Moyers, no programa de TV World of Ideas, onde Isaac Asimov prevê o impacto da internet em nossa educação.

Um abraço grande e até o Costão, ou antes! 🙂

Mestre, da série “Axioma número um” e “por que não devemos usar certas palavras”: veja o absurdo e a discrepância entre o que está no título da matéria e o relato do que de fato aconteceu. Os pais eram malucos, só alimentavam a criança com leite materno, davam banho na filha com terra e não acreditavam em remédios, não cuidaram de uma pneumonia que a criança desenvolveu – e o autor quer fazer crer que a criança morreu porque não comia carne.

Essas coisas são de fazer o sangue fervilhar. Beijos!

_________________

Mais uma besteira da matéria foi declarar que os vegetarianos apenas não comem carne vermelha! Então, carne de frango ou carne de peixe não são carnes? E vegetariano come carnes? Se burrice matasse, não seria só a criança do casal francês que morreria, mas quem escreveu a matéria também.

Minha filha Chandra nunca comeu carnes e está saudável e bonita com quase trinta anos de idade. Como ela, tantas outras crianças que vi nascer e crescer, hoje com vinte, trinta e quarenta anos de idade, todas fortes, inteligentes, lindíssimas. Eu parei de comer carnes quando estava em idade de crescimento e cresci mais que o meu pai e irmão mais velho. São já mais de 50 anos de “não-carnivorismo” e hoje sou mais forte  e mais em forma que a maioria dos da minha idade (quase setenta anos). Já era hora de a ignorância o preconceito cederem lugar às evidências.

Mas relembro que não somos vegans, nem macrôs, nem naturébas. Hoje, quase me arrisco a declarar que nem mesmo podemos ser enquadrados como vegetarianos, na acepção popular. Somos “não-carnívoros”.

O sucesso na profissão

Domingo, dia 10 de Abril vamos ter um curso na unidade Londres com o Comendador DeRose.

Me intriga que alguns instrutores continuem sem dar certo e a maioria dê muito certo. Neste dia de domingo vamos decorrer sobre algo que não e comumente visto na rede.
O que la sera falado, foi criado por DeRose e aprimorado pelo Conselho Administrativo e vale ouro.
Se quiser inscrever-se, por favor contacte a instrutora Sônia Ferreira no telefone: 00 (xx) 44 207 373 70 70.
Contamos com a presença de todos.
