Professional Training 2027 — Module One

Please note that you must have completed an Apprenticeship Programme and attended a Summer Long Dance in order to join Professional Training

Core Intention

THE CORE INTENTION OF MOVEMENT MEDICINE PRACTICE is to provide people with tools for growing consciousness through embodied movement practise. Movement Medicine creates a space where people from all walks of life can grow into being empowered, awake, creative individuals aware of the interdependence of everything. In this space they gather the resources to: be who they are, develop their potential and make their contribution to life.

THE CORE INTENTION FOR TRAINING is to pass on the skills of holding space and guidance for other people to grow, develop and flourish, using the principles and practices of MM. Our expertise is about how to teach this on the dance floor, so that will be a strong focus. However, these skills are transferable to any situation that requires movement of any kind.

THIS TRAINING IS FOR YOU IF:

You want to train to teach Movement Medicine as an accredited Movement Medicine Teacher or integrate Movement Medicine into your existing movement teaching practice. You do not have to choose between this teaching path and the facilitating path. Many people do both.

You want to take the training to become an accredited Movement Medicine Facilitator in order to be able to use the principles and practices of MM to hold space for others and apply/translate/integrate this learning in your own field of expertise and work. We are delighted that there are many facilitators from our first and second trainings who are offering this work now in a wide variety of situations. You do not have to choose between this facilitating path and the teaching path. Many people do both.

You wish to take the training for your own ongoing study and are not sure where it’s all going to lead.

THE TRAINING JOURNEY

STAGE 1: INTENSIVE TRAINING PERIOD OVER TWO MODULES

PRE-MODULE 1

Once accepted onto the training, we will send you tasks related to your preparation for module 1. There will also be one pre-training coaching session with Susannah or Ya’Acov to help you to prepare. Your Professional Mentor will be with one of the School’s Professional Mentor Team, and will be with a different person than the mentor you had for your apprenticeship.

MODULE 1

Tues 9 Mar 2027 - Thurs 18 Mar 2027 - 9 Nights

BETWEEN MODULE 1 AND MODULE 2

At the end of Module 1, we will discuss your plans with each one of you. For some of you, this may involve beginning to teach/facilitate depending on your previous experience. Please note: in order to have our permission to teach or facilitate, you will need to make sure that you have appropriate insurance, an up-to-date First Aid qualification (for anyone using physical movement in any kind of work), and be a fully paid up member of the MMP (Movement Medicine Professionals) and of I.C.M.T.A.(International Movem)
