the moving academy

mindful motion for self and society

 

The Moving Academy is an independent organization in the field of culture, education and international exchange. Our work is characterised by body-oriented and awareness-based approaches and transformative practices, that build on arts, somatics and innovative as well as traditional mind-body techniques as neuro-physiologically founded practices for learning and development.

As a non-profit organization we offer and support programs and initiatives to enhance transformative and individualized research, reflection and learning for more direct, future-oriented and sense-making action of individuals and collectives in a dynamic and complex world. Diversity and transdisciplinarity are an inherent and foundational aspect of our work in creation contexts, such as artistic and cultural projects, and diverse learning and transition fields.
