Moshe Feldenkrais voiced strong opinions.  Still, he constantly investigated, contemplated and explored the ideas of others, integrating them into awareness, through movement. We all draw from a variety of disciplines, personal histories and inner resources.  This workshop is an invitation to contemplate, share, and emerge working with a richer palate and multidimensional view of our practices.  Contemplation begins prior to the workshop upon receiving questions stimulating reflection on your resources and interests.  The workshop proper will build on these reflections, refining and deepening appreciation of our own styles, the styles of others, the learning we can create and then put into practice.
