Relaxed and Awake: The Feldenkrais Method® and Meditation

Live Online + unlimited access to retreat recordings

Sorry! Registration is closed.

Awakening includes both the body and mind.  Join us as we explore the body’s natural intelligence to relax habitual (and often stressful or painful) patterns into greater ease and freedom, together with the mind’s natural capacity for awakened awareness.

This daylong retreat combines accessible yet profound mindful meditation practices with sessions of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons, the brilliant sensory-motor approach to gently and wisely re-educating the neuro-muscular system. Alternating meditation, Feldenkrais lessons and discussion will allow the techniques to complement and empower each other and to enhance the mind-body connection and well-being.

Many new and long-time meditators discover that Feldenkrais practices can help them feel greater physical ease and less pain, both in meditation and in everyday activities, by freeing up habitual patterns embedded in the neuromuscular system. This can also help incorporate the body’s natural intelligence into the process of spiritual awakening and more fully embodied presence. We can then join in the dance of being alive with more freedom and ease.

Join us as we awaken the innate potential of both body and mind to work together in a joyful and liberating way.  We welcome both beginning and experienced students of meditation or the Feldenkrais Method®.  If you are uncertain about whether the Feldenkrais Method® is appropriate for you physically, please consult your physician and, if you wish, email any questions to Dan via: http://www.feldenkraismethodguide.com/contact-us
