´In BMC, "centering" is a process of balancing, not a place of arrival. This balancing is based on dialogue, and the dialogue is based on experience.´ Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Sensing, Feeling, Action, p1

Since April 2020 we organize weekly meetings time for those who want to share about their off & online learning process from a student, teacher, mover or practitioner perspective.
The gatherings are open to anyone who has a sincere interest in exploring, articulating, questioning, learning from the physical roots of our being.
Previous experience with Body-Mind Centering® and/or dance and movement is of course welcome, but not necessary to enjoy or contribute to this gathering.
As in tea circle: all are guest and also host. Welcome!
