'The Future in Our Hands'

Spirals in ancient stonework from Newgrange, Ireland Ancient spirals, Newgrange, Ireland

Friday, 22nd - Friday 29th March, 2013
Emmaus Retreat Centre, Dublin, Ireland

We invite all teachers of the Alexander Technique (and final year students) to participate in a gathering designed to frame the original principles of F.M. Alexander within the evolution of contemporary ideas and developments.

This meeting offers the worldwide community of Alexander teachers the opportunity to enjoy the work of seven unique teachers of the Alexander Technique as well as to engage in sharing their own knowledge with colleagues from around the globe.

"People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits and their habits decide their futures"
F. M. Alexander

The Convention is designed to deepen your understanding and advance your teaching and communication skills to empower you in taking Alexander's principles forward into the future without losing the essence of the Work. The structure of this week-long convention includes daily workshops, open-minded discussions, work exchanges and networking opportunities which will foster a sense of community, sharing, laughter and integration of learning.

The Emmaus Retreat Centre is an intimate setting only a ten-minute taxi-ride away from Dublin International Airport. It rests in beautiful rural grounds, offering quiet tree-lined pathways, landscaped gardens and a river walk. The Centre is 15 minutes away by car from the historic City of Dublin and 30 minutes from the Megalithic site of Newgrange. We look forward to seeing you there!
