Hello friends!
I hope you’re having a great Saturday.
Today is pre-launch day!
I’m so excited that this is happening and that so many of you are following along.
As I said in Expanding Awareness #8, I have some pretty ambitious long-term plans for developing and teaching Alexander Technique online, and this is just the next step among many. I truly believe this stuff has the potential to be transformative on both individual and societal scales, and I’m excited to co-create the path to realising that ambition with you.
So with no further ado, and for those of you who want to join the first cohort of fifty Believers, this is how.
Please read carefully so you don’t accidentally pay me $1000.
Navigate to this page. This is a course I set up on Podia just for this pre-sale and is not the actual course, which I will build over the next two weeks. Buying the pre-sale now will get you access to the full course when I launch, hopefully on 19 September, a community and lifetime access to both.
Click “buy for $1000” — don’t worry, it won’t charge you
Enter your email address, accept the terms and conditions and hit continue
BEFORE entering your card details, click the text that says “have a coupon?”, enter the word BELIEVERS and then click ‘Apply’
This will give you $950 off the $1000 list price and you can go ahead and pay.
This coupon can be used 50 times. This hack is the only way I can configure Podia to limit to 50 people at that price.
That’s it! You’ll see a little welcome message from me explaining next steps for course development.
Please bear in mind that this first iteration of the course will likely be a little janky, with much room to grow. This heavily discounted first cohort is intended for me to gather feedback and make significant improvements over time.
So, if you’re okay with that, here’s that link again: BUY HERE
And if there are any problems, just hit reply to this email.
What’s happening next
I’m aware that there could be a few ‘groups’ of you and I want to address what each of you may be thinking now.
1. People who wanted to buy now, but it sold out before you could try.
First of all, thank you, and I apologise in advance if this happens.
I’m limiting the first group to 50 so that I can get to know everyone properly, go deep into everyone’s feedback and allow for an engaged, nurturing community to be cultivated. This is just harder to do with more people. I hope you stick around for the next release :)
2. People who might be interested in a course later when it’s more developed.
Cool!
I’ll continue to use Expanding Awareness as the place where I share my thinking on Alexander Technique, teaching tools, benefits, links to other things and course updates.
Stay tuned!
3. People who will never buy anything and just want to learn more about Alexander Technique.
Also cool! You are very welcome.
Expanding Awareness will never become just about selling a course and I plan to release tonnes of free content here.
Paid courses will ultimately give me the space and resources to dive deeper into how to communicate Alexander Technique online and so enhance the quality and volume of my free content, so please also stick around for that.
4. Friends and family who are tagging along for the ride.
❤️
That’s all from me.
Hitting send on this one is going to be scary — this is my first ever ‘launch’ — but fortunately I know a technique to help me notice that, not respond, and hit send anyway 😉

Thanks for reading this far! If anything here resonated with you then please hit reply and let me know.
By the way, I also write articles on my website and run another newsletter called Thinking Out Loud. That’s where I write about stuff like building in public, Total Work, solarpunk, carbon removal, sense-making, building communities, creating positive narratives for the future, identity and various other things. I invite you to check them out.
