The Alexander Technique is an educational method used worldwide for over 100 years. It begins with the premise that the human organism is perfectly designed for a range of activities. Tension, poor breath support, and postural habits get in the way of this potential, creating chronic pain, stress, and injury. But by teaching the possibility of change, the Alexander Technique enables ease and improved mobility, balance, and performance. Are you experiencing... less energy and alertness, back pain, joint stiffness, poor digestion, nerve damage, chronic pain, loss of mobility, anxiety, tension, and/or stress? With the Alexander Technique you'll get... renewed energy, reduced physical tension, better breath support, improved organ function, lowered blood pressure, improved mobility and balance, improved posture, and a relaxed and present attitude!

The end of life is not just a physical event; it is a profound spiritual and existential journey of meaning and connection. This course offers a non-religious approach to navigating this final chapter by giving people the language and tools to find peace, purpose, and dignity. Based on the educator's experience serving as a chaplain in hospice, we will explore how to have deep, life-affirming conversations about death and dying without relying on any specific faith tradition. This is an invitation to tell the most loving and coherent story we can about our existence, and one that fully encompasses our final moments. The goal is to move toward the end of life with love, joy, hope, clarity, and a sense of completeness, whatever one's personal beliefs may be.
