Theme Weeks & Weekends > Feldenkrais Method

From February 11th to 13th, 2011, with Lucie Beaudry, Nia Technique teacher, somatic educator, expressive arts therapist and visual artist.

Movement is a language that reflects both how the nervous system is organized, and the image each individual has of himself and his environment. The approach developed by Moshe Feldenkrais creates a learning environment that lets participants get in touch with their entire, holistic being; individuals learn how to get the best out of their own resources within gravity, to self-regulate while on the move, and to better translate intentions into actions. Participants improve how they integrate parts into a whole; they learn to work less hard and refine their awareness and they explore unusual movements.

A constituent of the field of somatic education, this approach offers a unique opportunity to slow down, appreciate one's body, understand how it works and move in harmony with its natural principles.

During this weekend, here are some key points to keep in mind:

• comfort over effort
• 'go slow'
• process over result
• quality of experience over performance

The workshop will be given mostly in french but instructions will be given in both languages if required. Feel free to join the group!

The 2-night package is offered with or without spa treatments. See details below.
