Session 1: Know Where You Are
Location and dates:

* Know Where You Are, includes the first in a series of gradual approximations and expansion of skills around the following topics:

Defining Movement Patterns – transferring to FI’s
Detect and follow underlying patterns, develop precise strategies for FI's, assembling a strategy for seeing, designing and carrying out FI’s.

Variations in Touch
Expand your toolbox in qualities of touch, techniques, directions, nuances and your mastery of effects.

Use patterns and learn from ATMs
Doing, observing and sorting ATM’s into patterns of essential movements. You will learn to identify pivotal points of an ATM, begin to model it apply it to other ATM’s along a logical path.

Applied FIs in Sequentially Progressive Steps
Exploring sequences as defined above, explore a variety
of FI’ connected to a pattern and learn to build on it.
Develop a progressively deeper understanding of how the work is assembled, just as Dr. Feldenkrais showed it to us.

“Leora Gaster is a superb representative and practitioner of an outstanding set of patterns...(she) would be a prize to capture in any program of this type.”
John Grinder, Co-founder of NLP

"Mia and Leora's brilliance, compassion, directness, and humour not only helped me to see with new eyes, but gave me a profound new respect for the delicate dance between myself and others.  Thank you so much!" E. Dove, Austin, TX

They showed us how to NOT know as well as how to find out.” Amie Slate, Los Angeles, CA
