Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity of experience is an invaluable ally to learning. It is also an essential ingredient of this training programme.
As a trainee you bring to this programme the distinct knowledge and values of the communities in which you live and work. Through our ongoing interactions, spanning more than three years, we will learn much from one another as we converse, observe, touch, and reflect on the nature of being human and acting humanly.  

 We are committed to accepting a diverse range of people, respecting and honouring race, gender, marital or family status, age, religion, belief.....

We acknowledge the importance of the Treaty of Waitangi and New Zealand's multi-cultural place in the world.
Many principles of the Feldenkrais Method® and Maori culture are woven together as an integral part of the curriculum e.g.
collaborative learning,
respect for elders,
manaakitanga / care,
time / space,
whanaungatanga / relationship,
lineage / whakapapa
...and more.
Applicants from beyond New Zealand’s shores are most welcome.

Every applicant will be given full consideration.
