DEI Offerings at Congress 2022
Workshops, Continuous Learning, Tea Time, Ask Bob and Panels
Explore the intersection of DEI & AT at the Congress!
As we invite ourselves through self-reflection to center equity, diversity and belonging we can recognize and let go of habits and practices that limit access to AT. Let's commit to seeing things from different perspectives, to speak on behalf of the under-represented and to continuously reach for a community that has a place for everyone. Only then will Alexander Technique become available to everyone regardless of race, ability, gender identity, sexual preference, religion or any other status. We agree to recognize our habits of bias and to constructively use our skills to be the change we want to see in the world.
