It is impossible to experience the developmental movements of infants and children and be untouched by curiosity, discovery, play, frustration, mastery, and more. Intellectual, sensory, and practical experiences thematically woven into two days of Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration® lessons, lecture, and demonstrations will deepen your appreciation of learning how to learn through movement. Broaden your understanding and skills of the Feldenkrais Method® and become comfortable working with babies and children in your professional practice. Mornings will include Feldenkrais® practitioners, parents, and professionals. Afternoons will be open to Feldenkrais practitioners only.  We will learn together, co-regulating as a dynamic system, expanding awareness, and deepening our knowledge of human behavior.
