I brought Anat Baniel, Gail Teehan, and Nancy Aberle, a Feldenkrais practitioner in Santa Barbara to Anna Halprin‘s class this evening. The interaction among these wonderful teachers was wonderful. One of the members arrived at the class and was actually too sick to do anything. She wanted to be taken to the emergency room to see if there was anything they could do for her. She left with the lady that brought her and another member of our group.
This put the group in a rather somber mood, so Anna had us do a remarkable ceremony with Native American overtones. The movement brought us quite close together and we all felt better for ourselves and for the sick lady. It turned out that she was able to go home that evening.
