Looking for help recovering from a neurological injury, trauma, or surgery, or living with chronic illness? Ready to access the magic of your brain's neuroplasticity? Let someone who's been there show you how!

In 2019, an ordinary respiratory infection changed the course of Feldenkrais Teacher Dwight Pargee's life. What began as a common illness turned into an autoimmune condition called Transverse Myelitis — an inflammation of the spinal cord, triggered by the viral infection. It caused swelling that damaged his upper motor neuron pathways, forcing him to put a busy life of sports, recreational activities, teaching, and seeing clients on hold.
 
Extremely active up to this point, Dwight now found himself unable to stand or walk unassisted, and he experienced a range of emotions familiar to anyone facing a serious health crisis. Following medical advice, he engaged in a course of physiotherapy to help him regain his mobility. But it wasn't long before he realized this was not going to be enough.
 
"My brain's internal map had been disrupted. It was clear to me that there were gaps and connections that needed to be rebuilt, re-learned, re-organized, and integrated from the inside out."
 
Accepting the challenge, Dwight put himself on a healing path using the Feldenkrais Method to facilitate gentle neuroplastic learning. He found that it offered a coherent framework for his functional recovery that medical treatment, alone, could not.
 
Calming his own nervous system — and trusting his body and brain's innate capacity to reorganize — were the essential first steps. Then, he used Feldenkrais principles to gradually repair and restore his internal body map, or neurological 'image.' He regained his ability to walk and has returned to a full teaching practice. Today, he is passionate about sharing what he learned about self-healing with others navigating similar challenges.
 
We are delighted to announce that Dwight will present a three-day workshop sharing the specific Feldenkrais lessons and biological learning principles that guided his recovery — an approach he recommends to anyone contending with neurological injury, physical trauma, or illness. Built around nine Feldenkrais lessons, the workshop offers practical tools for self-care and self-healing, and will strengthen the framework of your recovery. Join Dwight for an immersive experience that rebuilds your brain's body map, restores confidence, and keeps you moving in the right direction.

New to Feldenkrais?

 

Who is Feldenkrais for?

 

They are for everyone. No previous experience is required. Feldenkrais lessons are flexible and used by people of all ages and abilities, for a wide range of reasons. If you have a brain and a body, Feldenkrais lessons are meant for you. 

Why are they called lessons?

 

They're called ‘lessons’ instead of ‘exercises’ because your brain engages in a natural kind of learning when you do them. They use gentle movement and relaxed attention to stimulate new and better options for your physical comfort, movement, and more.

Why does this approach work?

 

Your brain is on the lookout for information that can help you, and Feldenkrais lessons give your brain what it's looking for: relevant sensory information, time to notice differences, and a chance to build new neural pathways for greater comfort and mobility.
