The Felt Sense and the Symbolic Field
Small Group Teachings with Alé Duarte
May 28–31, 2026 | Open & True Studio, Vienna
This private master class invites a small circle of practitioners to explore the meeting point between the felt sense and the symbolic field—where the language of the body and the language of image begin to speak as one.
Over four days, each participant will receive two individual sessions with Alé Duarte, while the group learns through shared witnessing and reflection. Every session becomes part of a living teaching how sensations, gestures, and symbols reveal the deeper architecture of transformation.
The rhythm of our days is gentle and intentional—time for arrival, exploration, and rest. Between sessions, we pause for reflection, creative expression, and the quiet beauty of Vienna in spring.
This experience is intended for practitioners who already have some familiarity with Alé’s work and wish to deepen their personal and professional development in the company of experienced peers.
If you're curious to work with Alé in this capacity, but haven't had opportunities to study with him before, we recommend that you participate in "Navigating with the Soma Compass", starting April 9, as a preparation, as the course focuses on 1:1 work with adults.
The Private Class in Vienna is a place to receive 1:1 sessions from Alé first hand and deepen the learnings.
1
Refine your felt-sense perception
Through receiving and observing sessions, learn to recognize how sensation, gesture, and image begin to reveal the deeper architecture of experience.
2
Practice working within the symbolic field
Explore how to engage sensations, gestures, and emerging symbols in real time as part of the transformative process.

Deepen integration through shared witnessing
Let individual sessions become part of a living field of observation and discovery.
Our studio, located at St. Ulrichs-Platz 4 in Vienna’s historic seventh district, offers an intimate, light-filled space designed for presence and depth.
