We are always in movement.  Even when we are still, the breath continues, the heart keeps beating.
Moshe Feldenkrais once said, “Movement is life, without movement, life is unthinkable.” 

Every movement in nature and throughout the universe, from stellar motion to the dance of the atoms, can be found in the human movement vocabulary. There is an alchemical saying: As above, so below. By understanding the movement that makes up the human experience, we can make connections with everything that exists; from the slinking of the panther to the flow of lava. These qualities and rhythms are exquisitely developed in Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons that educate and heal even as they provide insights into our personal evolution and our relationship to everything around us. Tempo, stillness, undulation, breath, force, and of course, perpetual motion are just some of the themes we will explore this week. From contemporary research in neuroscience to the movement hidden in ancient spiritual texts; from the macrocosm to the microcosm, we will uncover the human body’s potential for movement and health. The lessons and activities are available to all levels of experience, with clear connections to both professional and personal goals.

Every day will include at least two Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons that have been selected to inform and enhance the day’s theme and process. The use of creative arts is designed to be safe and pleasurable for the novice while expanding the horizons of the more experienced. Process is emphasized over product. Typical class schedule is : 9:30 – 12:30 and 4:00 – 6:30. There will be a full day off in the middle of the week for relaxation, excursions and processing.

This workshop also counts as one segment of the Creative Body Training.

There are many wonderful somatic trainings available, and many arts and meditation processes to study. However, the Creative Body is unique: bringing together mental, emotional, physical and metaphysical for a full being training in unlimited possibility.

Disciplines include:

I can use the information immediately on my first client. I worked with the breathing techniques and his facial furrows melted away and he became quite relaxed. Thank you again for all your gracious hospitality and excellent Awareness Through Movement lessons to relate to the subject material.
