Join Bonnie and others at the Embodiment Conference. Bonnie will be presenting at the Post Conference on August 10 – 11.
Bonnie's Schedule
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 15 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.

Embodied Touch as Transformative Practice
A Series of Nine Monthly Classes:

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.

Awakening Patterns of Behavior: Embodying the Autonomic Nervous System
June 16 – 19, 2018 | New York City
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.
