Feldenkrais intensives

Awareness Through Movement® workshops for Public and Practitioners

In 'Feldenkrais Intensives' workshops, experienced Feldenkrais teachers will take you through a series of four lessons per day.  Having these lessons back-to-back minimises the re-emergence of old habits and multiplies many-fold the power of the learning.  These events are organised on behalf of the NZ Feldenkrais Guild.

  • Who?   Anyone who wants to learn to move with greater ease, balance, control and/or power, for everyday activities or for sports, dance, martial arts, music…
  • What?  Not only the multiple lessons, but a chance to explore the Feldenkrais Method, feel its benefits, and meet liked-minded people
  • Bring?   Bring an open mind and a willingness to learn. Wear everyday clothes, preferably loose

FIW21:  Feldenkrais Intensive Wellington, 17-19 April 2021

Given the Covid situation we have been deciding whether or not to hold our much-loved Wellington Feldenkrais Intensive in 2021.  It was of course cancelled for Covid reasons in 2020.  We have decided to proceed, but only if there is enough confirmed interest

In general, event attendance has been down in recent months and this may continue into the New Year.  This creates the risk that FIW21 attendance may be too low to make it viable.  Normally we have an early-bird registration of 31 March, and it’s not until then that we have firm, committed numbers:  to date, we have always had enough.  This year, our cunning plan is to:

  • Seek whether you intend to attend, RSVP by Monday 18 January please
  • Sorry this is over the Christmas and New Year break, but hopefully most of you will sneak in the occasional email check.
  • If we get enough interest by 18 January, send a second email seeking formal registrations through payment, with a ‘very earlybird’ of 14 February 2021 (an easy date to remember, I hope)
  • If we get enough registrations then, FIW21 is on (COVID-19 willing).  Yeah!
  • The above is happening through our email list.  If you're not on it or have received nothing, please contact Conrad at team@fiw.nz or 021 843 467
  • I’m sure you’ll understand that we need to do this – it takes a lot of effort to organise these events, and we don’t want to waste your time or ours

 

Our sixth annual and very popular three-day, 12-lesson event held each April (apart from 2020's lockdown, of course):  see our flyer

  • When?   Three days Saturday 17th to Monday 19th April 2021, 10am to 4:30pm daily
  • Where?   Te Whaea: National Dance & Drama Centre, 11 Hutchison Road, Newtown, Wellington 6021 (map)
  • Cost?   $240 for the three days, or $180 ‘very earlybird’ payable before 14 February 2021

To register contact Conrad at team@fiw.nz or 021 843 467

This year's teachers (tbc):

A previous FIW participant's summary:

"Day 1 - What am I doing here?  This is crazy, we aren't doing anything.  It is all so light and airy"
"Day 2 - Something is happening - home to sleep 10.5 hours"
"Day 3 - Transforming:  I feel lighter - the floor is softer - I have grown 2 inches in posture and brain is open"

We will only hold FIW21 under Alert Level 1, and there will be a full refund if you have paid and closer to the time it is cancelled because Wellington has moved to a higher Covid-19 Alert Level.

Practitioner training

A new Feldenkrais practitioner training 'FTNZ6' is being planned by Beverley to start in August 2021.  Contact her to start a life-transforming journey.
