somatic listening
listening means giving yourself over to what is forming.
what it is
Creation and shiftWe slow down enough for listening to begin.
A session usually starts in rest. Something calls for attention, a place that wants to move, a sensation without words yet. Through small movements and questions, drawn from Feldenkrais and Focusing, that place finds its own language, in movement, in words, in sound.
Something takes shape that wasn't there before.
ways in
One practice, a few ways to enter:
individual sessions
We follow what your body brings that day, or trace a longer thread across several sessions.
book an individual session → read more about the individual work ↓the weekly course
An hour a week of slow movement and listening. The returning is the practice.
join the course → read more about the group work ↓workshops & retreats
Longer immersions where the practice opens across half a day, a day, or a weekend - listening, movement, sound, and writing in the same space.

In the individual sessions I offer a personalized approach that combines movement and conversation, at times guided by touch, aligned with each person's needs and character. The sessions draw on Feldenkrais, Focusing, and TAE to open a space of inner dialogue where movement, reflection, and listening reinforce one another. Together we identify and transform bodily and mental habits, shaping creative solutions fitted to what each person actually needs.

In the group sessions, known as Awareness Through Movement®, I guide participants through gentle, mindful movements, weaving in principles from Feldenkrais and Focusing. It is a learning process that refines bodily and mental awareness - a deep exploration, personal and collective at once.

where it comes from
Somatic Listening (Écoute Somatique) is an approach I conceived, combining the Feldenkrais method, Focusing, and TAE (Thinking at the Edge) into a single practice - a frame where movement, meditation, and bodily awareness converge, so that personal creativity can unfold.
Focusing, developed by Eugene Gendlin, is a way of paying close attention to what we sense inside, opening the way to a better understanding of ourselves and of our surroundings. Joined with the Feldenkrais method, it sharpens our awareness of bodily and mental habits, making deeper and more lasting change possible. TAE, also born from Gendlin's philosophy, helps us articulate and clarify ideas and questions from lived experience.
In my practice this becomes a process where movement and reflection feed each other - new ways of moving, thinking, and sensing that nourish both personal and artistic practice.
moshe feldenkrais
After a knee injury, Moshe Feldenkrais set out to learn new ways of walking, so he could function fully despite it. The search led him not only to a solution, but to a deeper understanding of how a human being learns to walk at all - the conditions and means by which we acquire our ways of moving, from infancy to adulthood. Over the following forty years - after a doctorate in physics, after opening the first judo dojo in Paris - he developed an innovative, comprehensive method for developing human capacities through movement, and left recordings of about a thousand lessons. His way of thinking keeps growing in influence across every field concerned with learning and human behaviour.

eugene gendlin
Eugene Gendlin, a philosopher and psychologist at the University of Chicago, founded the practice of Focusing, which centres on inner listening and the exploration of bodily sensing. Rather than a therapy, Focusing is a philosophy of being - a closer, deeper, more conscious relationship with what we live. It opens direct access to the inner felt sense, feeding creativity and discovery. Gendlin taught that the body knows more than we are aware of, and that listening to this somatic knowledge can lead to profound discoveries and real change.

I came to somatic work early. I practiced and taught Tai Chi Chuan for almost a decade (Israeli Tai-Chi Chuan Institute, teaching level), studied acupuncture in Sri Lanka, and trained as a Feldenkrais practitioner in Jerusalem, with Eilat Almagor and Anat Krivin, in parallel to my bachelor's in composition - certified since 2006. I am also certified in Focusing by the International Focusing Institute (2023), studying with Dana Ganihar and Baruch Brener.
Alongside this I built a life in music: composing, improvising, and working as a musician with choreographers such as François Raffinot, and with dance groups in Israel, France, New York and Montreal. Much of my Feldenkrais practice has been with musicians, at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and at the Université de Montréal. Somatic Listening is where these two lines, carried together for thirty years, become one practice.
