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 monthly dances held by teachers for teachers: Feet 1st. Please see here for details and next dates.


The Turning of the Seasons


4 times a years, when the wheel of the season is shifting, our monthly dances take another turn and focus on a specific area of professional development and education.

For example : diversity, equity and inclusion work on the dance floor ; music and DJ skills;,non-violent communication; sexuality; creative processes such as writing / theatre / voice work in conscious movement spaces, etc.

These "Tuning of the Seasons" 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.

    Continuing Professional Development

    Trauma in Groups: Collective Fields & Resonance

    with Idit Rose

    Saturday March 1st 2025

    8:00 AM GMT - 9:00 AM CET - 10:00 AM IST - 11:00 AM MSK - 7 PM AEDT - 9 PM NZDT (00:00 AM PST)

    As facilitators, teachers, we don’t just hold space for individuals—we hold space for an entire group nervous system. What happens when trauma surfaces in a group? How do unseen dynamics shape the collective field? And how can we create a space that allows for depth and regulation without reactivating wounds?

     We’ll explore:

    • How trauma moves through groups—beyond the individual lens
    • Recognising “trauma echoes” and their impact on group dynamics
    • Practical ways to attune to the collective nervous system and support regulation

    Through embodied awareness, inquiry, and practical tools, we will deepen our capacity to facilitate groups with greater safety, sensitivity, and presence.

    Let’s explore the unseen layers of group facilitation together. ✨

    About Idit

    I’m Idit Rose, a certified Open Floor teacher, guide, and healer based in Israel. For over a decade, I have studied with Thomas Hübl and have dedicated my work to supporting individuals and groups in their healing and development, both locally and internationally.

    As a collective trauma-informed practitioner and facilitator, my wish is to offer spaces where we can deepen our understanding of collective and systemic trauma—and learn to integrate these experiences through the body, mind, and soul.

    I've been working in the ICMTA since my initial training with Open Floor, and today I am happy to serve in the role of the operational leader of the ICMTA's General Circle.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Past CPD Events:

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW: Embodied Social Justice for teachers of conscious movement who are interested in shared collaborative learning.

Sue Rickards and Deborah Lewin offered Part I (July 18th 2021) and Part II (September 12th 2021) of this event to share their knowledge and experience in the field of Social Justice, as well as create a space for shared learning.

One more event about Social Justice is currently in the cooking pot, please stay tuned.


RESPONDING TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS: An Online Forum

Andrew Holmes and Hilde Kloeck have begun to offer a series of exchanges exploring our relationship as conscious movement teachers to the Climate Crisis.

More events coming soon - details here or in the newsletters.

ZOOM TUTORIAL

In March 2020, right at the beginning of all the lock-downs, Sarah Davies very swiftly offered ICMTA members a Zoom tutorial on teaching classes online. Many of us are still grateful to her for having helped us begin this new era of our teaching.

The full video is available for members in the Resources For Members section.

While we make every effort to ensure that the information on this site is accurate, we cannot guarantee that everything is up-to-date when you read it. Please check with us, or the ICMTA member concerned, if it is important.
