SUMMER IS ON ITS WAY!
Our Summer Series takes us into a season of growth and maturation. For many, summer continues to offer the opportunity to live, learn and explore a bit more on our own terms.
Our featured article is drawn from ScienceDaily. It discusses a recently completed study on what children already know in the area of mathematics by the time they begin kindergarten. The study is part of a project collecting a wide range of family, school, community and individual factors that are associated with school performance, undertaken for larger purposes, to evaluate if the school curriculum meets the needs of the students. The article is troubling, but also a reminder that we are, from early on, learners.
We look forward to our summer series of A.T.M. classes with you as you join us in what Moshe Feldenkrais, in his own words, described as "a method [which is] an efficient, short and general way of learning to learn. In traditional learning, it is what we learn that is important. But the higher function of learning to learn is free of such restrictions. Learning to learn involves an improvement of the brain function itself which carries it beyond its latent potential." (Excerpted from Man and the World; published in Embodied Wisdom: The Collected Papers of Moshe Feldenkrais.)
Extended Summer Classes
Some of the faculty will continue to teach during the summer break that begins in late July. If you are interested in participating in these classes, please feel free to contact any member of the faculty for further details.
All of us at the Feldenkrais Learning Center wish you a wonderful summer! |
