13 Conclusion

The IFF Academy, developed and tuned over years by hundreds of Feldenkrais Practitioners all over the world and some external consultants, is unique in the Feldenkrais Community, comparable to a precious music instrument.

Musicians can only make music if they care for their instruments. An instrument well cared for will delight both players and listeners with experiences of skills and creativity for decades and generations to come.

The previous Academy Committee members have been willingly supported under the leadership of Cliff Smyth, Daniel Clénin, and by yourself, Jenni. We wish you a creative 2009 IFF Assembly, April30 through May 3^rd in Vienna as the structures and processes of the IFF and the larger Feldenkrais community continue to develop and evolve.

Warm regards
