FEFNA Corner
The Legacy Forum's Collaborative Learning Project was formed by a group of our colleagues who recognize that our community could benefit greatly from easily accessible, no cost, peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Thanks to all who attended the Collaborative Learning Project's first meeting with the larger community at the June ZOOM Café and shared ideas for collaborative learning. Please know that your needs and wishes were heard. We continue exploring ways to begin by bringing initial opportunities together as well as a longer term sustainable platform for ongoing connections.
Stay tuned, we are planning a follow-up Collaborative Learning Zoom Cafe for the fall. In the interim if you wish to join our working group or share your thoughts please contact The Feldenkrais® Legacy Forum: feldenkraislegacyforum@gmail.com (Subject: Collaborative Learning Working Group).

Dialogue with your colleagues about the future of the Feldenkrais Method®!
Did you watch the video interviews with Cynthia Allen and Larry Goldfarb in the recent issue of InTouch magazine on the theme of "The Internet & the Future of the Feldenkrais Method"?
Both interviews raised important questions that affect the practice of all Feldenkrais® practitioners. They are great "conversation starters"! If you missed either one, we'd like to urge you to watch now - and then respond!
In the months ahead, we intend to begin publishing "Letters to the Editors" in order for FGNA members to share their thoughts with colleagues based on the content of the practitioner-only publication, InTouch.
Click here to watch Larry Goldfarb's interview, Building Community In The Digital Age
After you watch, if you have thoughts to share, please send them to fgnacommunications2@gmail.com with the subject line "Letter to the Editors."
Please limit your letter to 400 words or less. Please note that final decisions on publication will be determined by members of the FGNA communications team.
