Greetings all,
Here’s hoping this finds you well and thriving, despite the endless, mad turmoil everywhere. It’s an uplifting relief knowing that you’re out there, holding up this world with your beautiful works each day.
SO happy to officially announce:
INSPIRATION IN THE AEGEAN 2020
Folegandros Island, Greece, June 21 - 26, 2020.
The workshop engages the dynamic principles of the Alexander Technique, examined in consort with poetic elements of myth, imagery, language, environment, and movement.
Workshop History
In 2017, I revived a workshop series I’d last done in 2003, on the enchanting Greek Island of Folegandros Greece. The ’17 workshop was a spontaneous response to what was happening in the world.
My mission: create community celebrating great nature, human nature, embodiment, place, timeless myth, movement, art. Together with the Alexander Technique. In one of my most beloved places on earth, Folegandros Island, Greece. That 2017 workshop was one of the singularly best experiences of my entire teaching life. Another equally joyful edition followed in 2018.
It’s time for the next installment! Please join me for Inspiration in the Aegean 2020. Registration is open. Contact us soon at aegeaninspiration@gmail.com if you’re interested in attending. The workshop has sold out quickly in recent years. Carpe diem!
Greece 2020 Workshop Information
Registration Process / Information / Rates
There are two tuition free spaces in the workshop for Greek citizens. Please email Judith a written statement introducing yourself, including why you wish to participate.
from The Power of Myth interviews by Joseph Campbell…
“…What happens when human beings…
destroy nature and the revelations of nature?
They destroy their own nature, too.
They kill the song.
Mythology is the song.
It is the song of the imagination,
inspired by the energies of the body.”
I can think of no better place than Folegandros to gather with others, to fall in love with great Nature and all she inspires. To wake up to body, imagination and the Song.
Thirty three years in. and it’s still a pleasure to be teaching the Alexander Technique. And, speaking of these mad times … it seems imperative these days to be able to make choices about how we engage with the world, in terms of embodiment. Alexander Technique is a profound, practical resource in this regard. Taken further, the Alexander process is a valuable resource for presence and pleasure in all life’s endeavors - whether it be performing on stage, sitting at a computer, or making your morning coffee!
Please visit my website to learn about Alexander, private lessons and group workshop options.

I hope we will have time together next year, somewhere on the planet. May we all come together to protect and share our glorious EARTH in 2020. Happy holidays!
all my best,
Judith
