It is impossible to experience the developmental movements of infants and children and be untouched by curiosity, discovery, play, frustration, mastery, and more. Intellectual, sensory, and practical experiences including an Awareness Through Movement lesson, lecture, and demonstration of a hands-on Functional Integration lesson, will deepen your appreciation of learning how to learn through movement. Broaden your understanding of the Feldenkrais Method® and learn how to apply this understanding to interacting and working with babies and children. We will learn together, co-regulating as a dynamic system, expanding awareness, and deepening our knowledge of human behavior.

This workshop will be offered Sunday and Monday, with different material each day. Participants may attend either day, or both days.
