Wisdom from Interviews with 13 Trainers: A Legacy of Experience A Springboard for the Future

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time

It is no secret that the most experienced Trainers, many of whom studied with Moshé Feldenkrais, are nearing retirement age. To capture some of their accumulated experience and wisdom, the Transformation of Trainings (ToT) springboard group of the Feldenkrais Legacy Forum (FLF) interviewed some of the most experienced Feldenkrais Trainers/ Educational Directors within the North American Guild. Thirteen Trainers were interviewed.

We asked each of them these four questions:

  1. What are the essential qualities and characteristics of the Feldenkrais work – without which it would not be Feldenkrais work?
  2. What do you think is essential to consider and do, to achieve the right balance in a Feldenkrais training program between providing a personal experience of the Feldenkrais work, and developing professional competence to begin to work as a Feldenkrais Practitioner?
  3. Where do you see the Feldenkrais work going?
  4. How do training programs need to evolve?

At the FGNA Zoom Café, we will provide a brief overview of the project, and share some of the highlights that emerged for us as we did this project.

We invite you to look at the reports here. The FLF is supported by and under the umbrella of FEFNA, Feldenkrais Education Foundation of North America (nonprofit public organization). Our interest is to see these timely questions and ideas spur many more discussions among Feldenkrais Practitioners, reflecting back – and looking toward the future. We look forward to seeing you!
