Body-Mind Centering® Continuing Education
DE+EN | Continuing Education with Nina Wehnert
Feb 21, 2025 - Jun 22, 2025
BMC® invites us to discover the living and ever-changing inner being. This transformative journey strengthens our understanding of the expression of mind/consciousness in and through the body. It explores microstructures of the body, but also expansive movement. A constant dialog of perception, mindfulness, movement and action. The individual anatomy becomes vividly tangible, which can expand and change one's own expression and personal perception.
The training is aimed at people who would like to integrate aspects of BMC® into their work (e.g. dance, theater, art, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy). >> more info
2. Educational leave for Somatics
Bildungszeit, Bildungsurlaub or Bildungsfreistellung are terms that express a legal entitlement to time off work to participate in recognized continuing education events. This leave makes it possible to participate during working hours while continuing to receive remuneration.
Education is a matter for the federal states, which is why the entitlement to educational leave is regulated differently. Different workshops, as well as training and further education courses at the Somatic Academy Berlin are recognized for employees in Berlin.
Full-time employees in Berlin have the opportunity to take 5 days of training time per year. The entitlement to training time in one year can also be combined with the entitlement in the following year, resulting in a total of 10 days of training time. Please click here for more information.
The following workshops and trainigs are regognized for employees in Berlin as educational leave:
