| ICMTA Teachers' Gathering 2026 WHOLENESS IN ACTION: From Integrity to Impact in the Conscious Movement Field live online (10-12 October for AUS/NZ) A moving journey for teachers of conscious dance!
Welcome to the Teachers' Gathering 2026!
Our strength as teachers goes beyond holding space for our classes; it grows when we nurture unity and collective coherence. By moving together with authenticity and intent, our association evolves into a dynamic, interconnected living network. Each individual practice, choice, and intention, contributing to a world wide wave of conscious movement. No matter which conscious movement lineage you come from, this Gathering is a space we share - a sanctuary to celebrate our unified efforts and honour the sacred reciprocity between individual facilitators and our collective global network. The Gathering is open to members and non-members, teachers and teachers-in-training of one of our recognised trainings. If you teach a different modality of conscious movement and you are interested to attend this Gathering, please get in touch with us before applying. All times below in UK time zone. Please check your time zone. We made the choice to run the Long Sessions and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies quite late in the evening for the UK and Europe, to make these available to most time zones (early morning in AUS/NZ, morning/early afternoon in the US). The Impulse Sessions and the Peer Sharing spaces are available to the UK/Europe time zones on both days, and are alternating for the AUS/NZ and US time zones. (Note: We made this choice because most of our members are in UK/Europe time zone, and all members of the organisation pod are in this zone as well. ) The recordings will be available to all registrants for 2 weeks to catch up.
