I overheard that there was an issue of folks claiming some truly outlandish things as 'self study' (astral projection day courses), so...it's a puzzle. True enough.

I would imagine that most people read enough books related to the method and do enough ATM that they do not need to worry. Though here in the U.S. I am fairly certain that Bones no longer "counts." Personally, I try to do enough Alexander Yanai, Esalen and other workshop ATM's so that I can be certain to have a nervous breakdown on a yearly basis.

Maybe someone can confirm / deny? I've been thinking about doing their training. All up, it's about as much as a training segment - ie: a lot after four years! I suppose knowing that it satisfied continuing ed requirements may help assuage that FWIW

I think that is a key idea. We create a densely connected network of individuals, learning and growing as we choose and need (sort of like Facebook and the internet itself) and the "training hierarchy" - ie. trainer, asst trainer, ed director prac take on less and less importance. And isn't that what the method is about? Don't we help people to organize themselves? We certainly don't force it on them. Why should our own learning be any different? cheers! - Ryan Pamela – You wrote:

I could not agree with you more. What I have taken of The Bones for Life training from Ruthy, entails a lot of ATM, but in any case, the Method urges us to live from our own personal authority, so why bow to external authority to validate our learning process? Some quality control should take place for certification purposes, but practitioners learning from other practitioners should be a given. Ryan, Well said! I could not agree with you more.

After attending the last Feldenkrais Conference I watched how Mia, Russell and Linda Tellington Jones have moved on but how they "bow" and give gratitude to their inspiration,Moshe. As always, love your posts, Ryan. Thank you Ryan,
