There are a lot of Feldenkrais folks out there who can write a high-quality book and who are also highly skilled and very intelligent. But they largely do not take part in the FeldyForum nor other online groups. They are too busy doing their work. Kind of like you and I….we touch base with FF and then end up walking away for large periods of time. And there a people that are good that simply will not take part in the politics of the Guild or they reach a certain level and then stop. For example, I know several great assistant trainers who are as skilled, if not more, than virtually any trainer. But they are not willing to do the pay the high-price of becoming a “trainer.”

Anyway, just my highly subjective opinion.

Good to connect.

I recently rejoined Feldyforum to see what that group was up to. It didn’t take long to find deeply ignorant comments about the nervous system and basic physiology. And this was coming from one of the few apparently successful practitioners—someone with decades of experience who has also presented at the Guild conference and workshops nationwide.

As the world of Feldenkrais rolls along in its insular cocoon, it becomes increasingly detached from reality. An isolated pool of intellectual inbreeding that spawns all manner of malformed ideas. I shudder to think what book some of these folks would write…But maybe someone has something worth bringing into public discourse.
