Description

Alexander Technique as it is traditionally taught features inhibition followed by directions, both of which are often self-oriented. We notice what we ourselves are doing. We inhibit our own automatic response. We choose a means whereby that will lead ourselves to a more desired goal, and direct ourselves in that manner. It is groundbreaking and transformational work for an individual. The effects of the transformation outside of the individual themselves may be spoken about in training, but do not appear to be central to the Technique or its teaching. “The work" is often self-contained, mirroring priorities of the current western majority culture including individualism, self-reliance, meritocracy, potentiality, and universality. 

In this workshop, we will explore bringing Alexander Technique’s embodied awareness to our relationships with time, place, season, food, people, plants, and animals. We will then invite one of the most powerful directions for right relationship with those things that sustain us - gratitude, spoken aloud. We will also leave time for your own exploration of “what is sustaining you right now that you are aware of? “what is sustaining you right now that you are not aware of?” “If you brought it into your consciousness, what would happen?” “Can you find and speak gratitude for that relationship?” Join me in asking how the Alexander Technique can be a part of building a more equitable, regenerative and kind world for all of us. 

This virtual workshop is being offered as part of the Balance Arts Center Virtual Global Alexander Technique Conference March 13th-15th.
