Watch as a baby reaches for a toy: every part of that baby—look at those eyes!—is engaged in the act of reaching. That’s the way children do things—with all of themselves; using not only more parts of their bodies, but more of their minds, feelings, and imaginations as well. Whole-person living comes naturally to children. For adults, however, maintaining this whole-person way of living requires a conscious commitment—a commitment to skillful self-attention.

The elegantly designed Feldenkrais Method can help you develop the kind of self-attention and self-care that foster comfort and creativity in your daily living. You begin by learning to pay close attention to those details of your own way of moving that often go unnoticed. This is the thread you follow into the labyrinth of yourself. Surprises will come as you find that becoming increasingly aware of the way you move profoundly affects your thinking, emotions, and imagination.

As your personal investigation unfolds, you will see more clearly the rich web of interconnecting functions you really are. Your increasing ability to gently focus on your own sensation and movement will allow you to discover how they have influenced the shape that you and your life have taken. And, by the same gentle process, you can continue to refine yourself and your life further. No matter where you may be in this creative process, I will be honored and delighted to be your companion in the exploration.

The labyrinth entered my life almost 25 years ago in a series of powerful waking dreams. My experience crystallized into the music and ceremony I've called Remembering the Way: Ceremony in Honor of the Labyrinth at Chartres. I continue to enjoy facilitating labyrinth-walking experiences, each tailored to meet the needs of the sponsoring group.

Directing and writing music for choirs and choruses never ceases to delight me. I've written several choral song-cycles, including: Remembering the Way; Songs of the Day Seekers; Winter Solstice Ceremony; The Journey of the Raindrop. Most recently, I've been crafting music for plays, including: Imaginal Disks, A Tale of Transformation; got water?; Tell It Slant; Dancing the Labyrinth.
