Outdoor Adventures with Feldenkrais. Kevin offers Feldenkrais exploration as a companion to outdoor adventures. During Alaskan summers he offers Feldenkrais informed hiking trips into the Chugach Mountains from his cabin on the edge of the Chugach National Forest.
Other outdoor Feldenkrais adventures and retreats are in the planning stages. The Grand Canyon trip my husband and I went on with Kevin was the trip of a lifetime. Kevin was superbly organized, knowledgeable, and a delight to be with. I have such joyful memories of floating through the scenic canyon, running rapids, discussing geology, inspecting ancient ruins, sharing music around the campfire, helping to prepare amazing meals, and enjoying the camaraderie of the group.
Thank you, Kevin. Kevin made his living as a river and wilderness guide for 18 years When he discovered Feldenkrais he realized it built on everything he had discovered about flow and ease and power in his river running and guiding career. A skilled river guide becomes so adept at listening to, feeling, reading and harnessing the power of the river as to be able to take a raft full of people through ever-changing mazes of class 4 and 5 whitewater, hydraulics, boulders, with ease that make the run looks effortless -- like a dance, like art.
Feldenkrais, Kevin realized, was this same kind of exploration and cultivation of flow and ease and power in human movement, i. In modern culture where our conditioning is often speedy, mental, stimulant-driven, and goal oriented, Feldenkrais offers the powerful medicine and balance of process orientation β which involves slowing down, tuning into somatic intelligence and discovery and consciousness itself, feeling, feeling the pleasure of conscious engagement in physical activity and life, feeling powerful, feeling complete, learning, enjoying, nourishing.
For many people Feldenkrais offers a life-changing paradigm shift, a transformative practice equal to any of the great spiritual traditions and transformative practices.
