Oslo Body-Mind Centering®: Embodied Embryology, November 21-23, 2025

Body-Mind Centering® is an experiential approach to embodiment, movement and consciousness. Body-Mind Centering® works with the conscious embodiment of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, embryological and developmental principles through movement, touch and voice.

In this workshop we will through touch and movement explore some of the morphological patterns of embryogenesis, a surging of forces and forms, that continue to shape each of us. The first 8 weeks after our conception is when our body forms its basic structure. In this period we form from an egg and sperm, transforming into a cluster of cells and a series of fluid spaces and become a highly differentiated human being. These fluid spaces and processes underlie our current structure and inform our current state of being.

We will be offering this workshop in partnership with The Sage. All workshop participants are invited to experience the deep relaxation in the Sage’s state-of-the-art float chambers or infrared sauna. A perfect way to deepen your embryological experience. Register for the workshop and we will send you a discount code to book your session with a 50% discount.

Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad are choreographers and certified practitioners and teachers of Body-Mind Centering®. They have been collaborating for 25 years as the BodyCartography Project, an award winning international dance collaboration. They engage with the vital materiality of our bodies and minds to create live performance that facilitates a re-enchantment of embodiment, relationship, and presence. Their research questions how tools from dance, choreography and somatics can support our collective evolution in this moment of planetary crisis. Their work has been presented internationally across Norway, Europe, USA, and Aotearoa/New Zealand. They run the Body-Mind Centering Somatic Movement Education certification in Melbourne, Australia.
