Dem Bones

Celebrate your skeleton

For too long, our bodies’ boney base has been trapped with a bad rap.

Pirates.

Poison.

Death.

‘Tis the season to celebrate the living skeleton! On Halloween 2020, Larry Goldfarb is offering a couple of fun, festive — and family-friendly — Feldenkrais® lessons followed by an interactive online party, complete with surprises and prizes this coming weekend!

If you’ve ever wondered why your arms don’t fall off, you might be interested in this year’s adventures in the land of the living skeleton. 

During the 2020 workshop, you’ll do a couple of Awareness Through Movement® classes that will introduce you to the pelvis of the arms. These will give you a chance to:

  • Discover, from the inside out, how the anatomy of dinosaurs is built into your human framework. 
  • Find out how your upper limbs branch from the spine and are rooted to your center. 
  • Develop your dexterity.
  • Realize your flexibility and strength.

If you exercise or not, whether you’re a meditator, martial artist, musician, or furniture mover, whatever your level of activity, you’ll learn about and improve your arm’s amazing abilities.

Have you been bone-tired lately?

Missing company and feeling a bit bonely?

No bones about it; times have been tough.

Everyone in your household is welcome to participate in the lessons. Should you live alone, you’ll have a chance to interact with the other folks online. We’ll be together no matter how far apart we are.

The Dem Bones workshop takes place from 9:30 to 11:45 AM Pacific time and the super-socially distanced party from noon to 1:00 PM-ish Pacific. We’ll take a short break between the ATM® lessons and then another after. You’ll have a chance to change into a costume — but only if you’d like to — before joining in the fun. 

Why didn’t the skeletons want to go to the party?
Because they had nobody to go with.

The party is going to tickle your funny bone. 

You’ll get to connect with the other folks online and share some stories. We’ll have games, surprises, and prizes. Please bring your favorite anatomy pun, riddle, or joke.

Dem Bones POSTMORTEM

Whether you’re wanting to improve how you teach ATM®, looking for inspiration, or seeking personal guidance in classes online, Larry will be offering a lively POSTMORTEM of the Dem Bones lessons on the Day of the Dead, Sunday, 1 November. 

With a select group of interested, interesting colleagues, you’ll:

      • Debrief what happened during the workshop.
      • Decode the ATM lessons.
      • Discuss the underlying pedagogy. 

You will have a chance to consider the lessons, unpack what made each ATM work, examine why they work so well together, take part in the conversation, and develop your understanding of the strategies, tactics, and techniques that comprise Moshe’s method. 

Not only will Larry let you in on his process of teaching the classes and constructing the curriculum, but he will also support you in fleshing out your insights, developing your way of understanding, and integrating what you are learning into your personal ATM practice, the classes you teach, and the clients you see.

The POSTMORTEM session happens from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Sunday, 1 November 2020. You will receive access to all the recordings of the POSTMORTEM session as part of your tuition. 

        • $97 

Enrollment is open exclusively to Feldenkrais teachers and trainees in recognized training programs (who have completed at least one year of training). Participation is strictly limited to 24. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
