Committee & Volunteering

Here you can find the details of Guild members, see who is on the Committee and who are the other regular volunteers.

If you have an idea for something to help develop the Feldenkrais Method® in the UK, you can apply for money from our members’ project fund. Why not plan a joint event with a few colleagues?

You can also get in touch with colleagues and with the Guild. Members are listed here.
