Take it from them:

"The tone was set immediately for new practitioners as well as seasoned to have a creative interaction based on the common love and respect for this work... I have never personally experienced such a training where the container allowed for a very open dialogue and inquiry where no question was too simple or too complex... This was a very deep, rich experience that landed for me right in the center of my own humanity which is what we want to bring forth. These teachers really cared, they really listened, it was evident that we were all on this journey together and the skillful means with which it unfolded on a daily basis was heartening to propel this work into the future." 2025 Retreat Participant

"Fantastic workshop in a beautiful retreat setting. The teaching exceeded my expectations—well-planned, responsive, and full of unexpected explorations that offered fresh perspectives and surprising insights. I loved the emphasis on learning with and from each other, and the relaxed atmosphere—with shared meals and time together—made it easy to connect as a group and stay engaged. I’m leaving with a deeper understanding of the work and how I want to grow as a practitioner." 2025 Retreat Participant

"This was a Feldenkrais gathering like no other I've attended. The week was filled with exploration, curiosity, experimentation, fun and challenge. The teachers masterfully facilitated a flow that mirrored the practice itself. There were no teachers demonstrating. Instead an invitation to discover our own ideal learning environment. One that deepened the shift from performance to presence. From outcomes to commingled discovery. I'd do it again in a heartbeat." 2025 Retreat Participant
