Depression emerges from the interaction of many environments — our bodies, our relationships, the spaces we inhabit, and the natural rhythms around us. This is the core idea behind the Decoding Depression initiative of the European Commission.
Feldenkrais4LIFE embodies this approach in practice:
- It supports the personal environome through movement, awareness and neuroplasticity.
- It strengthens the social environome by creating inclusive, non-judgmental learning spaces.
- It honours the natural and built environomes, integrating rhythm, light, nature and thoughtful spatial design.
Together, these layers help people regulate stress, build resilience and feel safer in themselves.
