Metaphors of Movement: take the language literally

We're always describing our inner life in space, "stuck," "weighed down," "boxed in," "at a crossroads." Metaphors of Movement, developed by Andrew T. Austin, takes those metaphors literally and works with them to shift the pattern. Mark trains Level 1 & Level 2.

Metaphors of Movement (MoM) is a change-work method, developed by Andrew T. Austin, that takes the spatial and movement metaphors hidden in how we speak, and works with them directly, so a "stuck" or "weighed-down" pattern can literally move.

You can see it happening, and not quite follow it

What makes MoM distinctive is that the shift is often visible and audible. You follow the person's own language into a landscape, a path, a weight, a wall, and work with what's actually there. It can be vivid, surprising, and unmistakable: you watch the moment something changes.

Mark's lane to teach

Mark was present at the method's earliest presentations (Colorado, 2009) and has trained with Andrew T. Austin almost every year since. MoM sits alongside Mark's family methods, Core Transformation, the Wholeness Work and Self-Concept work, an intersection no one else holds. On markandreas.com it is a distinctive lane that is Mark's to teach. // CONFIRM dates/specifics with Mark

Common questions

What is Metaphors of Movement?

Developed by Andrew T. Austin, it takes the spatial and movement metaphors we use without noticing, "stuck," "weighed down," "at a crossroads", literally, and works with that felt structure to shift the pattern underneath.

Is it for clients, or for practitioners?

Both. Clients experience it inside 1:1 change-work; practitioners, coaches and change-workers can train in it themselves at Level 1 and Level 2 with Mark.

What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1 covers the foundations; Level 2 goes deeper into advanced patterns and fluent application. // CONFIRM exact curriculum with Mark

Online or in person?

Both, worldwide via Zoom and in person in Boulder, Colorado.
