Mind in Motion - Neuroplasticity gets real

The Let’s Get Real Movement Festival focuses on the practical tools the Feldenkrais Method provides for improving your life by harnessing your brain’s ability to change. Organized by Australian powerhouse, Angela MacMillian, who graduated from the teacher training program Alan Questel and I directed in Adelaide, this event features some of the best teachers from Down Under and the US. The program offers a mix of intriguing panel discussions, informative presentations, and transformational experiential movement lessons. I’m honored to be a member of the Beyond Hacking Your Brain: Harnessing the Feldenkrais Method panel on the third day.

If you’re curious about the brain’s ability to change and what it means in practical terms, I recommend Susan Hillier’s opening presentation tomorrow, What is Neuroplasticity? A professor of Neuroscience and Rehabilitation at the University of South Australia, physiotherapist, and Feldenkrais teacher and trainer, Susan makes difficult concepts understandable and approachable. You can expect an enlightening, no-BS presentation about this popular but often oversimplified idea.

Dr. Hillier is one of the outstanding faculty members of the new international Feldenkrais teacher training program I’m directing in the Netherlands, starting in August. You can learn about it here.

Please note that, unlike some other online events, this program is not free. However, the cost to participate is really minimal. The links above for the festival are affiliate links, which means that if you click on them and make a purchase, Mind in Motion may earn a small commission. Rest assured that you do not pay a higher price.
