ICMTA Teachers' Gathering 2024
Boulder, Colorado - USA
4-6 October

ALCHEMY : Elder Honoring. Elder Offering

A moving journey for teachers of conscious dance!


Join this once-in-a-lifetime gathering of seasoned and spirited teachers who have been guiding transformational dance experiences for many decades each. These early forerunners in the field of consciousness and dance have each developed seminal pathways for the exploration of the body in motion.

Together, they will share a collective story of leaders co-arising. They will offer teachings about the art, heart, and science of :

    • Moving and serving the bodies and souls of humanity
    • Bushwacking new terrain for these times
    • Building and tending to one’s body of work
    • Releasing the work into the good care of all generations

They will each offer a movement experience to support everyone’s evolutionary path as practitioners. This will be deep, tender, and fun.

Meet the wise, wonderous, and wild Elders of Alchemy : Nayasha Daya, Barbara Dilley, Melinda West Harrison, Vincent Martínez-Grieco, and Erik Iversen.

Kierra Foster-Ba and Melissa Michaels will serve as our weavers for this gathering.

Melissa is the founder of Golden Bridge, the organisation that provides SomaSource, one of the conscious movement teachers trainings recognised by the ICMTA.

    Why Joining the gathering ?

    Some testimonials from our previous gathering :

    "I deeply appreciated the sharing and connecting, and receiving some really good deepening and clarifying classes."

    "I enjoyed very much being with colleagues in person and the thought and care with which it was all put together."

    "It is nice to spend a few days with people who are working, facilitating in the same field. It's like speaking the same or similar language with different dialects. Sharing connection and knowledges in a relaxed way through movement, talking, rituals, silence and become inspired and inspire…."

    "Well informed and cared, wonderful sharing and connection, nice and spacious retreat place".

    "There is a great pleasure in just being with colleagues from so many different countries and schools - other people who understand what we do, and have a deep reverence for our common practice. Such a treat !"

    "I loved meeting new people and the sense of together-ness, welcoming, open-heartedness, sharing experiences, learning, being inspired, I loved the fact that it included 'non dancing' teachers, I think different practices are so important for the body heart mind healing and all that jazz, I loved how collective and inclusive it felt, and also affordable."

    "The dances and exchanges with all these beautiful moving spirits, sensing/feeling being part of something bigger..."

    "That's a wonderful opportunity to gather with wonderful people, from all over the schools which to me rocks! And exchange share play inspire."

    "To be resourced and supported within community for your work..."
