We invite all teachers of the Alexander Technique, trainees and anyone who is enthusiastic about the work to participate in a gathering designed to frame the original principles of F.M. Alexander within the evolution of contemporary ideas and developments. In the previous conventions in 2013, 2017, 2023, 2024 and 2026 participants came from 23 countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA.
This meeting offers the worldwide community of Alexander teachers the opportunity to enjoy the work of different teachers of the Alexander Technique who all have engaging and unique styles of presenting. You will also have opportunities to engage and share your own knowledge with colleagues from around the globe.
"Don’t come to me unless, when I tell you are wrong, you make up your mind
to smile and be pleased."— 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.
