For all my commitment to engaging in practices that grow a body of experiential knowledge, language is in fact my medium. The practices that I develop are shared by guiding others through them with words.

I’m acutely aware of my use of language. At times, I describe as transparently as possible the tasks I’m inviting people to engage in. At other times, I try to cast a spell, through the enchantment of words, to invite the possibility for people to experience themselves and their being in the world differently.

There’s no better sleep than the sleep you have paid for!

What I’ve learned over many years is that there is no better sleep than the sleep you have paid for!

Feldenkrais as food for systemic growth

We grow ourselves by creating cells within our bodies. We are not made of cells but we are constantly “celling” in order to differentiate our inner structures
