OTHER EVENTS

London
Peter Ribeaux will give a workshop entitled “Mindlessness”, Saturday afternoon, 7th May 2016 from 1:30-4:30pm at 10 Harley Street, London W1G 9PF. The title is, of course, a play on the word ‘mindfulness’ and the current popularity of mindfulness as a therapy and method for promoting personal growth. The concept is rich in both paradox and problems with the meanings of words. Alexander wrote of his difficulty with finding appropriate words at the beginning of CCC. An aphorism attributed to him goes, “Beware the written word. It may not be understood the way the author meant it to be”. In this workshop we will hopefully have fun negotiating this jungle. The plan is to go beyond words. In doing this we will explore the roles of ‘physical’ and ‘mental’ activity in touch and teaching.

Paris
Peter Ribeaux will be teaching in Paris from between 29th and 31st May 2016. There will be a workshop for Alexander Teachers on Sunday 29th in the morning and the possibility of individual lessons in the afternoons.
