  ICMTA GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2025

  Tuesday June 24th

  9.30 AM - 12.30 PM San Francisco / 12.30 - 3.30 PM New York / 5.30 - 8.30 PM London / 18:30 - 21:30 Paris / 19:30 - 22:30 Moscow

  (Apologies if you’re in Australia or New Zealand. We’re alternating times that work for you with the US, and this year it’s their turn!)

  The General Assembly is when those of us that work for the Association tell you, our members, what we’ve been doing, and what we’re planning to do next. It’s an opportunity for you to ask any questions, and to see how everything has been managed on your behalf.

  It’s also when we all get to choose new Board members to look after the long-term health of the Association.

  We do hope you can join us!

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

  UNSETTLED
  
  A class for those who are done pretending it’s all fine.
  
  This is not about finding comfort ~ maybe its more about being honest and...that may lead to truth.
  Through movement, inquiry and reflection, we ask:
  Whose voice lives in your instincts?
  Whose values shape your choices?
  Whose safety are you protecting when you stay silent?
  
  In this space, we question the behaviours we’ve inherited, the beliefs we’ve absorbed, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
  We practise returning to our own knowing — even when it shakes things loose.
  
  Because being unsettled might just be the beginning of becoming free.

  We all hold space for others a lot. Feet 1st is a space for us to be held by your feet and your tribe!

  Feet 1st is a monthly gathering for ICMTA members: 1 hour of dance followed by 15-30 minutes to hang out together.

  Feet 1st takes place on the 1st day of each month, with different timings each time to accommodate various time zones.
  

  Feet 1st is for teachers, by teachers: any of us can hold a session, and we are all welcome to join in a dance!

  Our yearly rhythm includes:
  

  • 7 or 8 Feet 1st sessions (for ICMTA members only; we sometimes take holidays in August) 
  • CPD events (free for members and open to non-members with an entrance fee) held on 1st March, June & September
  • Community Gathering session on 1st December.
    

  We would love to enjoy your gifts in one of our upcoming Feet 1st sessions! If you feel the call, click here and sign up for an available date that works for you.

  Thank you.

  Looking forward to dancing with you!

  Continuing Professional Development

  Somatomy: Walk to Dance

  with Erik Iversen

  Monday September 1st 2025

  6:00 PM BST - 7:00 PM CEST - 8:00 PM IDT - 8:00 PM MSK - 10 AM PDT - 1 PM EST  (September 2nd 3 AM AEST - 5 AM NZST )

  
  Somatomy : Walk to Dance
  In our present culture we are focusing our attention so often on various screens and digital devices, that we’re losing a natural connection with our bodies, the present moment and ourselves. By shifting our awareness and our curiosity to the feeling of moving our bodies, and the sensations of our breathing, we can regain a healthy and playful connection with ourselves and with others. During this gathering, I'll invite you to move, walk, and dance while you explore the flow of your attention and tune in to the feeling of your function and structure in movement. I’ll invite you to feel the different stages of your daily walking experience. I'll break down your walk and the structure of your feet .How can you feel your walk in your dance and your dance in your walk? You'll come away with a new feeling of embodied presence that you can easily cultivate to enrich your relationship with yourself and others.

  About Erik

  Erik Iversen is a founding member of the 5Rhythms worldwide community. He was in his first training with Gabrielle in 1988 and become one of her first workshop producers out of Montreal in the 80’s. Over the following 40 years, he has taught the 5Rhythms in 15 countries as well as maintaining a one-on-one bodywork practice; over time he has integrated the wisdom he gained from his hands-on work with the insights from guiding thousands of dancers on the dance floor.
  In 2016, he graduated from the 2-year Leadership and Transformation training at the Hendricks Institute. In 2020 he designed the Somatomy,™ a 3-module training that guides participants playfully through an experiential understanding of their anatomy. This approach offers powerful tools for creating deep presence and flow through 5Rhythms movement and conscious embodiment.
