The Collaborating8 meet regularly via Zoom to exchange ideas and experiential work. We all trained at the American Center for the Alexander Technique (ACAT) and had many combined years training teachers there. ACAT, founded on a collegial model of teaching, ran a training course for 54 years in New York City and trained over 300 teachers.  

After ACAT closed its training course, we were inspired to get together to honour and illuminate ACAT’s legacy. Our group process has led us to return to our roots, exploring recurring themes from our present day understanding and interests. Collaboration is central to our process. Our approach has been rich and lively with an emphasis on honouring our differences and learning from them. 

In our workshop, each of us will guide you through an exploration of themes we’ve been developing. flow and its relationship to Inhibition. Grounded in inhibition, flow offers dynamic, moment-to-moment ways of embodying and teaching the fluid, ever shifting nature of our Alexander work. 

Come collabor8 with us!
