Feldenkrais and Creativity
Using Mindfulness and The Feldenkrais Method to Unleash a Cascade of Improvement.
How can we move more freely, liberate our own creativity, and improve our capacity for relationship – all at the same time? Of course, these three processes are actually one and the same. If the mind and body are one (is there any doubt?) then moving more freely is inseparable from sensing, thinking and feeling differently. It follows that all social and artistic experience is affected by changes in the way we organize our own movement.
That is the genius of the Feldenkrais Method: greater ease of movementcan bring about a cascade of unforeseen improvements in all dimensions.
In this weekend workshop we turn our attention – with mindfulness, playfulness, and curiosity – to ease and effort, to alignment, to breath, to gravity and to the world around us.
The creative space opens up when we are not stuck in chronic muscular patterns and habitual reactions. We can get there surprisingly quickly through gentle, meditative exploration of the way we use ourselves in all our parts: spine, ribs, eyes, ears, legs, hands, breath, voice, shoulders, etc. This exploration is supported by the group itself – by learning together with other highly-motivated people.
David Kaetz is a Feldenkrais teacher and musician who teaches in Canada and Europe.
