ICMTA Teachers' Gathering 2025
Belgrade, Serbia
2-6 June

A moving journey for teachers of conscious dance!



Welcome to the Teachers' Gathering 2025!

This year we invite conscious movement teachers and practitioners from across the globe to gather near the vibrant city of Belgrade, Serbia. Together, we will celebrate the interplay of wisdom, creativity, and connection across generations.

Generations are more than a timeline of ages—they represent the continuity of shared knowledge, evolving practices, and collective growth. At TG 2025, we recognise the richness that comes from blending the perspectives of seasoned teachers, peers, and teachers-in-training. Each generation offers its own unique contributions.

To embody is to live and express fully in the present. This edition of the ICMTA Teachers' Gathering is an invitation to inhabit the wisdom, lessons, and stories of those who came before us while embracing the vitality of the now. We aim to explore through our bodies how movement can bridge generational wisdom and shared futures.

An Inclusive Experience for All
Whether you are a teacher-in-training, a seasoned practitioner, or anywhere in between, this event is an invitation to connect, explore, and grow.

TG 2025 is not just a Gathering—it’s a collaborative journey where every participant is both a teacher and a learner, contributing to a dynamic and inclusive community.

Apply to Present Your Practice at TG 2025
If you feel the call to share your experience with fellow teachers, aligned with the announced theme, we invite you to step forward and contribute to this year’s Gathering.

How to Apply:
Send us an email addressing the following:

  • Why do you want to share your practice?
  • What do you want to share?
What Happens Next?
If selected, you’ll join a dedicated group of presenters who will collaborate to shape the flow of themes and experiences for the Gathering. As a facilitator, you won’t just share a single session - you’ll help co-create a continuous and interconnected journey for all participants.

This is an opportunity to step into a role that’s both collaborative and transformative, contributing to the deeper purpose of the Gathering while growing alongside your peers.

We look forward to hearing from you and co-creating this extraordinary experience together!
