These week-long gatherings happen in beautiful places - sharing a house at the water’s edge on the Oregon Coast, or at a remote retreat overlooking the breath-taking New Mexico landscapes.
We gather as a diverse community - some are new trainees, some are graduates; some are guests interested in personal exploration; some are members of our sister Alexander Alliance programs in Europe or Asia, or trainees from other programs.
Together, we live and study, cook and play, tell stories and exchange hands-on work. These times become very special - a time-out for personal regeneration, while satisfying the need to re-ignite our curiosity and refine our skills.
We cover a range of material during these weeks, so one can fulfill 2 or 3 modules within each gathering, depending on the length. We organically weave hands skills with group skills, personal use with ways of knowing.
