True Learning is Open-Ended – Feldenkrais Method

The Feldenkrais Method can best be described as an intelligently structured “learning-to-learn” approach. Its characteristic playfulness is modelled on natural learning-processes as found in childhood. ‘Making mistakes’ is encouraged since they may lead to unexpected discoveries and surprising results. Predetermined goals are avoided because they tend to inhibit real learning. Feldenkrais used to say:

“In knowing what to achieve before we have learned how to learn, we can reach only the limit of our ignorance”.
