Body-Mind Centering.

“Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated and embodied approach to movement, the body and consciousness. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and developmental principles, utilizing movement, touch, voice and mind. Its uniqueness lies in the specificity with which each of the body systems can be personally embodied and integrated, the fundamental groundwork of developmental re-patterning, and the utilization of a body-based language to describe movement and body-mind relationships. The study of BMC® is a creative process in which embodiment of the material is explored in the context of self-discovery and openness. Each person is both the student and the subject matter and the underlying goal is to discover the ease that underlies transformation. The Body-Mind Centering® approach has an almost unlimited number of areas of application. It is currently being used by people in movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, somatic studies, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education, voice, music, art, meditation, athletics and other body-mind disciplines.”

Discover Kanazawa, where ancestral wisdom is preserved through art, craftsmanship, and deliberate living. This city embodies the philosophy that beauty itself can be a spiritual practice.

Within serene gardens, historic districts, and ceremonial spaces, we engage in reflective practices that honor lineage through attention, patience, and grace. Movements here are slow, intentional, and deeply symbolic—mirroring the way ancestors shaped meaning through everyday acts.

Kanazawa invites us to honor the past by living beautifully, consciously, and with care.

In Nara, Japan’s earliest capital, spirituality flows freely between humans, animals, and the natural world. This sacred land invites a gentle return to innocence, humility, and coexistence—values deeply rooted in ancestral consciousness.

Through offerings, nature-based rituals, and mindful presence among ancient temples and sacred beings, we honor ancestors not only through memory, but through compassion for all life.

Nara teaches us that reverence is relational—born from harmony with the earth and all sentient beings.

Enter the ancient heart of Japan in Kyoto, where centuries of spiritual refinement shape every breath and gesture. As the former imperial capital, Kyoto stands as a living archive of ancestral knowledge, sacred rituals, and contemplative beauty.

Here, the Integrated Movement unfolds through temple ceremonies, silent meditations, incense offerings, and seasonal observances passed down through generations. Each moment becomes an act of reverence—an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and realign with timeless values.

Kyoto holds space for remembering, restoring, and returning to the stillness within.
