Memorizing and regurgitating are not science.
Real science is a constant investigation of the unknown.
― Abhijit Naskar
In December 2002, Myriam and Sabine Pfeffer sponsored the first international conference on science and the Feldenkrais Method. Called Learning, the Brain, and Movement, the event happened in Paris over four days. It featured noted researchers, including dynamic movement systems pioneer Esther Thelen and the fascinating French physiologist Alain Berthoz, whose book The Brain's Sense of Movement (Harvard, 2001) explores the Feldenkraisian topic of orientation in delightful and illuminating depth.
Today we have an international cadre of scientific investigators and academicians who are working together in the Research Working Group of the International Feldenkrais Federation. They sponsored some fascinating online meetings over the past few years while simultaneously creating an online research database into Moshe’s methodology. To continue developing mutual support and build a functioning network, they are looking for researchers, organizers, reporters, and others willing to contribute time to, as they say, “do the work that has to be done to carry the Feldenkrais Method into the future.” If you would like to participate in this important project, please click here to learn about and participate in their survey.
Once again, I found an image for my Wrestling for Higher Consciousness post on the fantastic free photo site called Pexels. It’s the work of ThisIsEngineering.

Larry, I think of you as one of the 12 Jungian Archetypes. If I am truly an Explorer, you are a Magician.
