Below are Bonnie's upcoming workshops. After several very full years of teaching around the world, Bonnie is taking some time to focus on her writing and video projects. She will be teaching a limited number of workshops, mostly in the San Francisco Bay area.
If you are unable to make it to one of her workshops, there are approved Body-Mind Centering® programs and immersion series offered by licensed training organizations in 13 countries. These programs use curriculums developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen as well as her written materials. Many courses in these programs and immersion series can be taken individually without a commitment to an entire program or series. Bonnie also has book and video materials available for home study. Many people use these materials to deepen their study and practice, start study groups, and share with friends and clients.

Using movement, touch, consciousness, and dialogue, this workshop will be an exploration of basic embryological, developmental, anatomical, perceptual, and psychophysical processes stored in our tissues and nervous system as they relate to our experience of self and other.
July 13 – 28, 2019 | Claremont, California, USA
In this workshop, we will explore opening our awareness to the expressive foundation of our organs and glands. Explorations will also draw from other body systems and from developmental movement and their applications to dance.

Touch is more than our placing our hands on someone. It involves awareness, consciousness, attention and intention. It also involves how we initiate touch. With brain initiated touch, the brain directs the hands. With embodied touch,we listen receptively and cellularly, and on a level more immediate than the brain.

Our tissues and organs provide the essential components of the patterns from which we weave our personal stories. These stories are then recorded by and stored in the templates of our autonomic nervous system. As we embody our cellular patterns of expectations and responses, we gain understanding of their relevance and importance in past experiences.

Using movement, touch and dialogue, this workshop will be a journey through our own embryological development from an experiential perspective. In exploring the development of our form, we can discover the primal roots of our structure, perception, respondability, and presence.
Movement is our first language. Dance is the poetry of that language. To be fluent, dancers need to move with ease, flexibility, strength and expression. Although we often think of dance or other movement as being muscle based, all of the body systems play important roles in the support and articulation of our body… [Read More]
