Weโre excited at the response to our invitation to build our IBMT community at the first ever Summer Gathering to be held this July on stunning Dartmoor in Devon, UK. If you have taken an IBMT module or completed the Diploma you are warmly invited to join us!
We have just a few spaces remaining and so weโre encouraging you to join us and share this email with some of the IBMT friends and colleagues youโd love to reconnect with whilst rolling around the floor, image making, sharing, listening, cooking and campfire contemplation.
Weโre using Gidleigh Village Hall on Dartmoor which Laurence (co-organiser) has used for many years hosting dance movement weekends and highly recommends! It is convenient for walks into the local countryside where there are woods, places to swim and open fields. It is approximately a 20 minute walk to the open moor and the ancient Scorhill Stone Circle. The hall lends itself to living as a community with a well equipped catering kitchen, a good sized hall for meetings, a shower for people who maybe camping on the field and a fire pit for sitting around and maybe story-telling in the evening. We are planning some sessions in the hall and some outdoors where we can move and be more in contact with the natural world.

โTo be alive in this beautiful, self-organising universe , to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it โ is a wonder beyond words.โ
