2027 ISMETA Conference

FINAL SAVE THE DATE Conference 2027

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. 

Please stay tuned for further details about registration costs and discounts!
