FERUS ANIMI // TERRA NOVA - SUMMER INTENSIVE

3 - 16 JUNE 2024

5TH ANNUAL FERUS ANIMI // TERRA NOVA SUMMER INTENSIVE

produced in collaboration with Inmove System Project

DESCRIPTION

Join members of the Ferus Animi // Terra Nova collective and our wider training community for 2 weeks of intensive movement education delivered through our renowned practice-as-research methodologies.

Sign up for our all inclusive package, including 10 days of intensive training, 3 hearty Italian meals a day on training days, and full access to the centre's facilities and campsite throughout your stay.

Over 2 weeks we will explore the principles of movement and development that underlie our Ferus Animi // Terra Nova research methodology. It will involve:​

  • A daily 'form' practice of mobilisations and activations to explore movement nourishment for health, athleticism, and longevity.

  • Mindfulness- and meditation- based practices to reflect upon our cognitive and embodied relationship with ourselves, in interaction with our environments.

  • Collaborative and combative partnering games, to locate and refine our problem solving blindspots.

  • Scientific theory around performance psychology, evolutionary physiology, behavioural neuroscience, and functional biomechanics, to ground our training in existing lines of enquiry and thought.

  • Physically challenging and mentally stimulating movement puzzles, designed to expose us to a daily dose of functional failure.

  • The cultivation of a rigorous and resourceful learning environment and a positive motivational climate, in which participants are invited to explore the training propositions in an optimal developmental manner, guided by both the research and our collective instincts.

The teaching team for this event is Tom Afiyan-English, Kim Amankwaa, Cassandre Cantillon, Lewis Cooke, Winston Reynolds & Lia Ujčič.
