OCTOBER OPEN HOUSE DETAILS
This weekend offers 4 INTRODUCTORY EVENTS! Come have a FREE hands-on experience of how Contemporary Alexander Technique can support your personal, professional, and artistic growth. Each Event has a unique focus, and you are welcome to attend them all! (Bring instruments if appropriate)
Saturday 10/5, 10 - 1 Contemporary Alexander Technique for Performers
As a performing artist, your body is your core instrument. Learn how to release mental and physical habits which limit your technical proficiency and artistry, while increasing your ability to access your innate design for ease, strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Saturday 10/5, 2:00 - 5:00 Deepening Your Teaching Skills (no matter what you teach)
“The only thing you have to offer another being, ever, is your own state of being.” - Ram Dass
Whether you are new to teaching or have been doing it for a while, come explore somatic tools for deepening your ability to teach and share your skills and gifts with others. Learn ways to help your students notice and change patterns of over-efforting, allowing them to access their own innate design. This introduction is appropriate for anyone who teaches or coaches anything: performing arts, fitness, sports, equestrians, martial arts, etc.
Sunday 10/6, 11 - 2 Contemporary Alexander Technique for Musicians
Ideal for both instrumentalists and vocalists, this intro offers a direct, hands-on experience of how your technical skills, sound quality, and ability to touch the audience, are all influenced by your own ability to be present in the moment and able to make conscious choices. Begin learning how release habitual patterns which lead to excess tension; how to practice more efficiently, using your innate neuro-physiology, how to deepen performance skills, and how to ‘tune your body’ as you tune your instrument. This is also ideal for chamber ensembles, offering somatic tools for creating a ‘group body’.
Sunday 10/6, 3 - 6 Embodying the Sacred Self
Alexander Technique is about noticing how we interfere with our innate design, and therefore, our innate potential. Since we are whole beings, the Principles of the Work apply to all layers of our being - spiritual, energetic, psychic, mental, emotional, etheric, physical, cellular, DNA, etc. Come explore how to use your embodied consciousness to expand your potential.
This intro is ideal for those who want to:
deep intuitive skills
be more consciously embodied in daily life
access and maintain 5D consciousness frequencies
increase energetic skills
expand psychic abilities
be more present to all layers of your being
SPACE IS LIMITED!!! Please ensure your space now.
Bring your friends, family, and colleagues!
