Are you curious about how artificial intelligence might support your work as an Alexander Technique teacher, but not sure where to begin? Join Amanda MacDonald for a relaxed, one-hour Zoom conversation designed for AT teachers who are new to AI and want practical, approachable ways to get started. Drawing from her own early explorations, Amanda will share a few simple ways AI can lend a hand—like drafting class descriptions, organizing ideas, and shaping social media posts. She’ll also invite participants to stay awake to the broader impact of these technologies, from the energy and water demands of data centers to the lack of comprehensive regulation guiding their growth, so we can make thoughtful choices about how we use them. No tech expertise required—just bring your curiosity and your commitment to conscious practice. Come connect, experiment, and leave with a few new tools you might actually enjoy using.
