Beauty in imperfect impermanent and incomplete
Change is the invariant.
Some elements, objects or situations
change faster, some slower.
Some changes are surprising, but could have been predicted.
Others are utterly unexpected.
Some changes require response, some can be ignored.
And those that we ignored yesterday
might need our attention today.
Throughout the flux, we try to make sense of it all.
We continue striving to comprehend the world.
This learning process, too, is fluctuating.
Sometimes we understand immediately.
Some understanding requires time.
Some things we learn once and for all.
Some things we have learned need to be updated.
Some things need to be unlearned in order to learn anew.
All along, we attend to what we believe
will bring reliable information
and often ignore places and situations
where our expectation of precision is low.
Yet many times we are wrong,
because life is so messy, noisy and ambiguous.
But this is not a cause for worry.
We needn’t strive for perfection.
Rather we can be invigorated by our imperfection
and the incompleteness of our knowledge.
Through the feedback we receive
we are able to improve and develop.
Through thoughtfully structured practice,
and the search for what is missing,
we can refine the dynamic push and pull
between the strength of maintaining our integrity,
and the suppleness of finding alternative pathways.
We can enhance our abilities to relate with agility
to a constantly shifting world and its requirements,
constraints and opportunities.
Above all, we can find joy in honing
the endless act of modulation
in the parade of life’s impermanence.

In the Summer of 2016, the resort received the statute of the Slovak Olympic Training Center. The complex includes one of the most up-to-date and largest Olympic riding centers, a modern athletic stadium, first-class X-BIONIC® HOTEL and top congress facilities.
THE CITY
-
Šamorín is a city in the Upper-Rye Island holding rich history.
Even by the rapid development of the past years it still has kept its homely and familiar character.The public places, the architecture and the quality of urban-development, as well as, the extensive green areas outside and within the town, determines the local population’s living conditions. The town’s strength is in its many faces and forms: thanks to its schools, enterprises it has become an educational and economic centre, at the same time it offers several possibilities for entertainment and relaxation. The town is characterized by a close-knit, supportive community: in the past the craftsmen kept their traditions, today’s life is enriched by the development of two cultures of Slovak and Hungarian. The town’s endeavor is to make everybody feel at home in Samorín.

What is the FM INTENSIVE event? How is it different from FM regular workshops?
Just pack your bag and come join us because the Intensive is an indescribably exciting and valuable annual meeting where Jozef and Linda share their latest research development. It is a 6-day retreat and opportunity to delve deeply into the FM training principles, theories and philosophy. It is for athletes, poets, movers, artists, and healers to test, discuss, and experience sparks of new creative impulses that push the boundaries of human cognitive and physical capacities to the edge of impossible.
