Join your friends and colleagues in creative collaboration about the future of continuing education, quality and competency:

Continuous learning and continuing education for Feldenkrais® practitioners is a philosophy promulgated by FGNA since its beginnings, and by Moshe himself. But what does this mean? The Continuing Education Committee, which has been meeting since Fall 2008, wants to know what members think about what should be required in FGNA policy, what kind of variation should be allowed, and what is our best approach to maintaining and improving the quality of practitioners of the Feldenkrais Method.

“Competency,” “quality assurance” and “quality improvement” – These are concepts that make all professionals tremble. Feldenkrais practitioners all over the world engage in a mostly private, informal and continuous process of assessing their own skills. When this process is clarified, one’s personal goals formalized, and one’s skills and services are reflected upon in relation to the standards of practice and ethical guidelines of the professional associations and guilds, that is quality assurance and it leads to competency. Dwight Pargee and Candy Conino will involve us in a delightful and experiential introduction to the IFF Competency Profile and how it will change your life.

“The Profile might help to point to our own responsibility and take action on this responsibility in relation to the Feldenkrais Method in the world.It also might help to feel our roots more in the ground/to feel more clearly the place of the Feldenkrais Method in society.”—IFF Competency workshop participant
