ISMETA presents an in-person Special Topic Conference
September 16-18, 2027 at Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, Vancouver, Canada
In a world of constant change, balance is not a destination but a living, responsive process. Dynamic Balance: Somatic Movement for Times of Change invites the global somatic movement community to explore how embodied practices cultivate resilience, presence, and creative adaptation.
Through presentations, experiential workshops, research, and dialogue, participants will engage with diverse somatic traditions and contemporary perspectives on movement, health, education, and social transformation.
Together, we will investigate how cultivating dynamic balance within ourselves and our interdependent relationships can strengthen our capacity to meet the challenges and opportunities of change.
