A 3-day online gathering 
held November 1-3, 2024

The BMCA Board of Directors welcomed Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and a rich line-up of BMC® teachers and program directors from around the world to share from their unique experiences and journeys, and their current explorations and questions. 

Join this space to celebrate our shared history, to experience teachers who helped develop and spread BMC®-infused pedagogy, and to consider BMC®’s place in the development of somatic movement education. 

All sessions and interviews featured BMCA Professional Members who are certified BMC® Teachers, have taught in the early School for Body-Mind Centering® programs, and/or have directed BMC®-based somatic movement education programs in different regions around the world.
