Opening to Fresh Perspectives - Awareness in the Sanctuary - live and on Zoom

Opening to Fresh Perspectives - Close your Eyes to Open

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams.  Who looks inside, awakes.”  Carl Jung

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dyer

Open your eyes to fresh perspectives, guided by principles of the Feldenkrais Method.  “Fresh Perspective”  is a series of Awareness Through Movement lessons created to help relax, refocus, realign and release eyes. The result is often a new way of perceiving the world around you.

Each session begins with a topical reading selected by Rabbi Donna Kirshbaum followed by a guided, body-based meditation.  Learn about the life of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, his groundbreaking ideas on learning, maturity and human potential.  

Lessons are appropriate for people of all abilities, body types, levels of fitness, faiths and spiritual orientations. 

Attend via Zoom or join your vaccinated friends in the BHC Sanctuary.
