Hello everyone,
This week, we have a “special” double edition covering events until November 26th because, as I mentioned last week, I'm on vacation. Or rather, I will be on vacation, but from your point in time, “past” me is still writing these words and planning to go on vacation :)) Anyway. I will be pre-scheduling this edition early in the week, since I won't be anywhere near my computer for 10 days or so. So, please note that this edition only includes events in Copenhagen, as many links/pages for events were not yet available when I was curating it, and I could only find relevant events in Copenhagen. AND! I expect some events to be already sold out when you get this newsletter; the edition is literally a message to the future and I have no way of knowing what’s going to happen with the ticket situations :))
But as you will see, the list is quite varied as always. So feel free to check them out and share with your people! And I’ll see you on the other side.

BODY – Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement
The Feldenkrais method is a way of getting in touch with yourself by exploring a great variety of different movements. You will find yourself rolling, crawling, bending - gently, and at your own pace. You will feel the different parts of you, notice new details, discover how you actually move and, even better, how you could move in other ways! The main focus is on the movement quality and doing things with awareness rather than exercising.
