Continuing Professional Development


An important part of our mission is to support our members in their professional development and ongoing learning. We are currently offering regular CPD sessions on March 1st, June 1st and September 1st.

These focus on a specific area of professional development and education, such as diversity, equity and inclusion work; music and DJ skills; non-violent communication; embodied sexuality; creative processes such as writing / theater / voice work in conscious movement spaces, etc.

These sessions are held for 2 hours by a teacher expert of that field.

They are free for ICMTA members and open to non-members with an entrance fee.

If you have a particular skill or field of knowledge you would like to offer, please let us know at info@icmta.com. Expert teachers are paid for these events.

You can find the recordings of the past events here (only for members).


Note: We are also offering monthly community dances held by teachers for teachers, only for members: Feet 1st. Please see here for details and next dates.

    Befriending Your Nervous System

    with Caitríona Nic Ghiollaphádraig

    Sunday March 1st 2026, 9:00 AM GMT

    1 AM PST - 4 AM EST- 10:00 AM CET - 11:00 AM IST - 12:00 PM MSK - 8 PM AEDT - 10 PM NZDT )


    In this session we will explore the workings of the nervous system which lives and breaths inside all of us 24/7. It dictates our reactions or responses to life. It is a great skill to understand the workings of our nervous system as most of it is unconscious.
    The knowledge can support us:
    1. In being aware of where on the nervous system spectrum we are at any given moment and how we can shift /change in order to support our teaching
    2. It can help us understand the behaviour of our students as we learn to recognise their reactions/responses to our teaching.
