VIRKELIG transformation year

come deeper – come present – come closer to yourself

this is not just another alternative education; in fact, it's not really an education at all; it's an invitation to step into a deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with the world; through the alexander technique, jungian psychology, embodied and therapeutic processes, we create a space where you can discover and unfold your own being – more free, more whole, more REAL

who is the VIRKELIG transformation year for?

the year is for those who want to feel process from within; for those who long for greater authenticity, a deeper understanding of themselves and their way of being in the world; maybe you already work with the body or the psyche, maybe you're simply curious about personal development, or maybe you feel called to take the first steps towards becoming an alexander technique teacher – wherever you are, what matters most is your openness and dedication to the journey; after this year, you will stand stronger and deeper in whatever path you are walking

what you will receive

  • 10 weekends of teaching, each centred around one of five core themes: the body, emotions, food, thought, and the alexander technique (2 weekends per theme)
  • group sessions every other wednesday evening (20 in total)
  • 20 individual sessions (1 hour each)
  • free access to yoga and workshops at VIRKELIG
  • half-price participation in two summer retreats – as the opening and closing of the year
  • and a joyful celebration weekend!

the year also qualifies you to begin training as an alexander technique teacher

the theoretical and practical foundation

the VIRKELIG transformation year rests on the integration of two powerful traditions:

  • jungian psychology: individuation – the process by which we gradually become more whole and true versions of ourselves
  • the alexander technique: a bodily understanding of how habits and patterns are embedded in us, and how attention, sensory awareness and contact can lead to real change

the unconscious of the psyche (jung) meets the unconscious of the body (alexander) in a shared aim: to integrate the whole human being – so we not only understand ourselves, but also feel ourselves – more strongly, more freely, more fully

community and space

when you're part of the transformation year, you're also part of the VIRKELIG community; you'll have access to yoga, workshops and other events where you can explore yourself in different relational and dynamic settings

all teaching takes place at our bright and calm studio at tagensvej 85c in copenhagen; we have two spacious floors – including a large attic room for movement and open exploration, and more intimate spaces downstairs for the quieter, deeper processes

this is a unique small-group journey with room and time for depth; we work in a close and supportive environment, with a high degree of individual attention and care – a rare luxury in a world that so often prioritises speed and surfaces; the content of the year will grow organically from the group's needs and possibilities
