Body Wisdom

Training Course

24-30 June 2024 | Spazio il Mulino, Tuscany, Italy

Body Wisdom is an experiential Training Course based on the principles of Somatic Education as approached by the practices of Body-Mind Centering® and Contact Improvisation, self regulation, self-care and wellbeing in the field of youth education.

The project seeks to use these techniques as tools to connect with the Wisdom of the Body, as a source for self regulation, self-care and wellbeing in the field of youth education, especially in relation to emotional, mental and psychophysical health.

BMC and CI highlight and promote an inclusive and integral approach, focusing on embodiment as a ground for healthy social relating, active participation and collaboration, for personal development and long-term learning based on autonomy and resilience towards daily challenges.

As part of the project, participants will be asked to implement a dissemination activity in their local community in order to apply the tools gained in the project. We will also collectively create a Handbook to harvest and share the learning results of the project.

Timeschedule

Our days in the project will start at 9.00 and will include two sessions of physical activity. Our mornings will be focused on Body-Mind Centering ® sessions, while evenings will be framed as spaces to research and practice on Contact improvisation. The sessions will be intertwined by time for personal and collective reflection, creative digestion and rest.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Participants will have the chance to improve competences inspired by the principles of the two techniques, adapting them to their own interests and profile. In general we will work on:

  • Learning based on Embodied Cognition
  • Kinesthetic awareness
  • Patterns awareness and transformation 
  • Body-mind Integration
  • Self-discovery and Self-regulation
  • Embodied empathy, adaptability, acceptance
  • Mutuality, collaboration, collective regulation
  • Inclusion and horizontality
