Reaching Out to More Communities

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission: To make Feldenkrais classes accessible to communities who have not had the opportunity to experience this work, including, but not limited to, younger and more racially diverse people. The transformative aspects of the Feldenkrais Method which include improving self-awareness, and finding a sense of well-being and empowerment are the birthright of all people and should be shared as widely as possible.

FAQ

Common questions

What is The Feldenkrais® Legacy Forum (FLF)?

The Legacy Forum is an independent meeting of Feldenkrais Method® educators and sponsored invitees committed to using constructive dialogue and input from many sources to understand our present and future professional needs, to develop the larger educational view, to develop better community, and to educate the greater public.

What are the Legacy Forum (FLF) working groups?

The Feldenkrais® Legacy Forum (FLF)

Quoting from the document linked above:

The Forum is now open to the entire membership. As of early 2021, the Legacy Forum Committee (LFC) has held two community-wide Zoom sessions sharing what had been learned about the issues. Working Groups formed to begin the task of developing projects focusing on:

Finding new ways to bring our work to the public
Enhancing community-wide communication skills
Examining the effectiveness of educational structures and policies
Envisioning the Feldenkrais Method for the 21st century

The current Working Groups are:

Younger and More Diverse Practitioners
Professional Dialogue
Transformation of Trainings
Competency and Certification
Funding

Participants of these groups include members from the Feldenkrais Community at large. Communication and decision-making are based on the principles of respect and the importance of all voices being heard. Anyone concerned about these issues is welcome to join.

*Includes Canadian, U.S., Mexican, and South American practitioners
