The Power Within

Feldenkrais® Summer Camp 2022

Larry Goldfarb, CFT, RSME, Ph.D.

What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us.
Henry Stanley Haskins

How do we cope with our increasingly troubled world and the challenges that daily life brings? 

In these anxious times, there is so much bad news and so many things we cannot change. What remains within our power is how we respond to what’s happening.

Summer Camp 2022 harnesses an often underappreciated benefit of Feldenkrais sessions. While highly valued for how they can help you move past long-held habits, recover lost abilities, and develop new skills, these lessons also alter your perspective; they change how you live in your skin. There’s something about connecting to your intrinsic capacity to change that leads to feeling better.

Over five consecutive days, The Power Within reveals how to tap into your innate ability to modify your neurophysiology and shift your internal state. Drawing on martial arts, yoga, neurophysical development, and other somatic methods, this year’s carefully curated Awareness Through Movement lessons offer a bodywise way to:

  • Engage the spinal engine.
  • Move from your center.
  • Find steadfast strength.
  • Recover your equilibrium.
  • Breathe easier.
  • Get grounded. 
  • Feel at home in yourself.

If you are ready to unlock your ability to alter your attitude, please join us.

Summer Camp 2022 is happening exclusively on Zoom. That means you’ll be able to participate no matter where in the world (with an Internet connection) from your computer, tablet, or phone. (If you have yet to use Zoom, you can give it a try here: zoom.us/test.)

The curriculum consists of a series of classic and new Awareness Through Movement classes along with opportunities to learn from and with the other participants — after all, what would summer camp be without fun group activities? — and time for questions and answers. 

When you sign up for The Power Within, you can participate in five days of live classes and receive access to the videos. Larry teaches the lessons twice and we make the better version of one available. The recordings will be available shortly after each day’s proceedings. 

Once again, we are offering two parallel Summer Camps. The Atlantic Sessions meet from 9:00 to 11:45 AM Pacific time and the Pacific Sessions from 5:00 to 7:45 PM Pacific time. The tables below show when we’ll be meeting at representative times; to find out when summer camp is happening where you live, please click here. Whichever track you enroll in, you will receive information about both sessions, so you can join either group or both, as your schedule permits.

Teachers’ Seminar

Summer 2022

Whether you are wanting to understand the learning logic of this year’s Summer Camp curriculum, improve how you teach ATM, find inspiration, or delve into questions of composition and presentation, the Teachers’ Seminar is for you. One week after The Power Within, Larry will meet with Feldenkrais teachers and trainees to:

  • Debrief what happened during summer camp.
  • Decode the ATMs.
  • Discuss the learning logic and structure of the series. 

This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the series, unpack the lessons, examine how and why they work so well together, get your questions answered, and develop a deeper appreciation of the strategies, tactics, and techniques that comprise Moshe’s method. 

During each seminar, Larry will let you in on the process of choosing lessons, developing new ones, and constructing the program. His aim is to support you in fleshing out your insights, developing your understanding, and integrating what you learn into your personal ATM practice, classes, and creative process.

The Atlantic Teachers’ Seminar will meet on Saturday, July 30, 2022, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific time and the Pacific Sessions from 5:00 to 8:30 PM Pacific time. (Rest assured: there will be breaks along the way.) The tables below show when we’ll be meeting at representative times; to find out when summer camp is happening where you live, please click here. Whichever track you enroll in, you will receive information about both sessions so can join either group or both, as your schedule permits.

Because the conversation in each seminar will most likely unfold in unique ways, you will also receive access to both sessions.
