​
In this non-hierarchical, supportive environment, there are no leaders nor paid teachers. There are no organizations nor societies. There are only teachers and trainees - people who love the Work and who need to make a living. The space is specifically designed to allow anyone the opportunity to ask a question, and everyone the opportunity to offer their experience around the question. It is an arena where we can all benefit from the combined experience of each other, regardless of lineage or affiliations or teaching experience or style.
​
The first Sharing Lab was hosted in Santa Fe, NM (USA) this past August ‘24 by the Contemporary Alexander School (AA/USA) and the AT Liberation Project, and was a huge success. We gathered in one space to share our most effective material, forms, and teaching practices; as well as create new strategies for addressing issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity within our teaching, which was a theme the group chose to explore deeply over our 5 days together.
The Alexander Alliance International is dedicated to hosting Sharing Labs worldwide, and to support others in learning to host Labs in their own communities. As we gather, with open-mindedness, creativity, curiosity, skill, and heart - who knows what might happen?
We might:
-
learn how to do something differently
-
experience very different styles, and starting learning how to do them
-
expand your idea of what the Work looks and feels like
-
find new vocabulary
-
learn from the experience of teachers who have been in practice longer than you
-
learn how students and teachers newer to the Work understand it in today’s culture
-
notice your habitual way of understanding the principles, and make new choices
-
re-define what the Work is about for you
-
learn skills for taking the Work into communities you’d never thought of reaching
-
learn some practical tools for making your practice more accessible
-
make new friends and connect to the AT community in a new way
-
be inspired to transform your practice
-
fall in love with the Work all over again
Please join us in April 2025 in Einbeck, Germany for the next European Sharing Lab.
