2018 Body-Mind Centering Conference held at Smith College, Northampton, MA

The Discipline of Authentic Movement invites exploration of experience arising through embodiment of two roles—mover and witness.  The capacity to be aware of our embodied experience is understood and experienced as the inner witness.  Building flexible and firm connections between the intellect, navigational functions, timing, movement orientation, sensation, memory, image formation, intuition, and emotion creates integration and the potential for healing. And so develops a resilient bridge of relationship—within self, between self and other, between self and the collective—allowing for emergent ways of knowing and presence.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience the discipline and the way practice as ritual deepens embodiment and enhances witness consciousness and resilience.
