Serra Retreat Center – Malibu, California

No matter where you are in your study and interest in the Alexander Technique, we invite you to come and learn in the beautiful setting of Malibu, California.

The Serra Retreat Alexander Residential Workshop in Malibu, CA is open to anyone interested in the Alexander Technique who wants the opportunity to work with a variety of highly skilled Alexander Technique teachers in a community setting. The faculty is an ensemble of experienced teachers and long term friends. This year marks our 35th annual west coast course.

Our workshop has proven to be an excellent introduction to anyone new to the technique. People currently studying will find the support they need to clarify and deepen their work. Some of our participants are considering becoming teachers of the Alexander Technique and have an opportunity to meet and to work with teachers from several training courses and Alexander Technique teaching traditions; some are enrolled in teacher-training programs, and some are practicing teachers returning to study with friends and Master Teachers. All come to be inspired and refreshed.

Our aim is to create an intensive learning experience. There will be large and small group sessions as well as individual Alexander lessons. Optional classes will be offered in related studies such as Yoga, Alexander Technique in Daily Activities, Sports Skills, Relaxation, Authentic Movement, Voice, and Performance Skills.

This week will offer practical, in-depth study. Study includes several private lessons with master teachers, a small daily homeroom group in which you work closely with one teacher for the whole week, and a variety of afternoon and evening classes and activities from which to choose.

Located in the hills above the beaches of Malibu, California, Serra Retreat Center covers 26 acres of flowering gardens and hiking trails with mountain top stillness. A serene getaway with proximity to Santa Monica and Los Angeles. Exceptional conference facilities that include meeting rooms that over look the blue Pacific, gift and book shop, and a lovely dining room that caters excellent meals.
