Liaisons

Body-Mind Centering® is described as an approach and its experiential study as a creative process.

As both an approach and a process (rather than a defined technique), BMC® readily intersects with, layers upon, and engages in generative dialogue with related disciplines, diverse fields, and applications.

Liaisons is a three-day online event that spotlights some of the many ways in which Body-Mind Centering® has been applied to a range of disciplines and helped shape cross-exchanges between BMC® and other approaches and disciplines, organized within the following topics:

• BMC® & contemplative practices

• BMC® & creative process

• BMC® & dance / performing arts education

• BMC® & developmental movement education and therapy

• BMC®-informed psychotherapeutic and trauma approaches

Featuring Body-Mind Centering® founder Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and a selection of other teachers, practitioners, and explorers of BMC® from over 15 countries.
