𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝® 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭. Through our guided Awareness through Movement classes, you can enhance your balance, alleviate pain, and acquire tools for sustainable self-care. By engaging in mindful and slow movement, Moshe Feldenkrais found a method to "reprogram" the nervous system, which led to the creation of Awareness Through Movement (ATM). Participants are guided through verbal sequences that teach them to move with the precision of an athlete and the fluidity of a child, harnessing their minds to foster physical healing. 🌿

At BeautifulMind, we honor this rich tradition of movement-based knowledge. Whether you're in recovery from an injury or simply want to feel more at ease in your body, our ATM classes provide a perfect foundation.

✨ Explore the science behind better movement. Book with Monja, for the Thursday classes in Norwoord.

The conference was marked by rich presentations, lively discussions, and a shared commitment to shaping a more innovative and inclusive ECD future.

On Day 1, BeautifulMind's Monja Boonzaier delivered a powerful opening session on how early emotional and developmental foundations shape lifelong learning. She opened with Nelson Mandela’s words:
“𝑉𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑎 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚. 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒. 𝑉𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑.”

Monja encouraged the attendees to reflect on a single, resonant question: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞?
