-What to Expect-

Over the week we will explore the principles of movement and training 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.
