MAY 28TH, FREE EVENING; SEE DETAILS BELOW
WHAT:
“In those moments when awareness succeeds in being at one with feeling, senses, movement and thought, the carriage will speed along on the right road. Then man can make discoveries, invent, create, innovate and ‘know.’ He grasps that this small world and the great world around are but one and that in this unity he is no longer alone.”
Moshe Feldenkrais, “Awareness Through Movement,” p.54
Awareness is the central teaching of Moshe. He saw clearly that without a significant growth in this capacity, human freedom was impossible and we were bound to the past.
He also saw that the actual survival of humanity depended on this growth.
This advanced training will focus on growing spontaneous awareness on all levels of experience. In addition to ATM and FI, we will use other awareness practices that will explore patterns of thinking, feeling and relating in ways that are completely congruent with the FM. We will also explore how spatial awareness can change our sense of self and body.
For many of us there remains a gap between the ‘inner world’ that we cultivate in ATM and the ‘outer world’ of every day life. It is helpful when this distinction dissolves. Functionally, meeting the world involves an emphasis on our teleceptors, limbs and our sense of space. It includes how we touch with our hands and feet, how we make contact, how we push, pull, let go, embrace, reject, reach, take in, keep out, etc.
Intentionality relates to developing ‘will forces’ which require clarity of self, other, directionality and spatial orientation. How do we both create and allow the creation of satisfying, fulfilling and life-giving futures for ourselves and others? What is the relationship between ‘allowing’ and ‘intending?’ I am excited to embrace these issues on the table, on the floor and in our lives.
