Location
The training takes place in “Das Haus” in the small village Mechernich-Vussum in The Eifel, approximately 1 hour south-west of Cologne. The Eifel is a thinly settled part of Germany with rolling hills and in this area lots of forests. The Feldenkrais-Center in which we will run our courses has a beautiful large studiospace with hardwood-floors. There is a private garden, a kitchen and several rooms to socialize in. The center has hosted trainings with large groups for over 15 years. We are joining an infrastructure that has proven its values. (See www.feldenkraiszentrum.de) Participants can rent affordable flats or rooms in the private homes of the village. (Most of them under 25 €/night, some under 20 €.) In most places there are cooking-facilities.
