Experiential Learning and Embodiment
Body-Mind Centering courses bring awareness to all the tissues and body systems through somatization exercises. We work with the belief that each cell has consciousness and that new experiences and learning on a body level can open us to new mind states. As we experience different body-mind states and movement patterns we can open to changes and new possibilities within and around us. Exploring in this way is how we enter the BMC embodiment process.
SOMATIC MOVEMENT EDUCATION (SME) covers developmental movement and an experiential study of the body systems to understand their manifestation in body-mind patterns. This revolutionary approach is based on our very own sensory experience and explores the richness of our body-mind relationship. You will learn to apply movement, imagery, sound and touch as tools to significantly deepen your somatic knowledge and expand your practice and teaching.
BMC principles and methods of creative investigation and practical skill can be applied to educational, medical, therapeutic, artistic, and health professions such as massage and body therapies in addition to movement disciplines (dance, theater, yoga, martial arts, athletics) and personal growth. Graduates are qualified to use the work in educational contexts.
