Making Connections began to write itself when I started my Feldenkrais training and developed over 8 years of study and research. The book was in some way made inevitable by my academic background - Religious Studies - together with the intensity of the process of training in the Feldenkrais Method. My purpose in publishing this book was to communicate to my colleagues some of the basic assumptions of the spiritual culture into which Moshe Feldenkrais was born and raised, which, from the beginning of my training, I have sensed to be implicit in his teaching.
A number of people - trainers included - who were familiar with these assumptions, who knew Moshe personally, and who are very experienced in the Method he taught, have encouraged me to complete this work and present it to the community. I have been doing this, through the book itself, and through multi-media presentations around the world, since the book was published in 2007. Translations are now being prepared in Hebrew, German, and French. A brief introduction to the book can be found at the left in three languages.

MULTI-MEDIA PRESENTATIONS
If you would like a multi-media presentation for your regional or national Feldenkrais Guild meeting, professional gathering, or study group, please contact the author through this website. The multi-media presentation involves approximately 110 slides, video of Feldenkrais himself talking about his childhood, Hasidic and Klezmer music on clarinet, plus lots of storytelling, historical background and discussion. Here are a few sample slides from the programme:
