BOTHMER
a movement for the future
news
“ In November 2024, the almost two-year long Erasmus Plus small-scale partnership project, during which an Embodiment training was implemented in Hungary, was completed. As a result, 23 Embodiment therapists were able to start working in Slovenia, Hungary and Slovakia.
As part of the cooperation, a Bothmer therapy training plan was also developed. This method of therapy meets the WHO anthroposophic body therapy accreditation requirements.
During the annual international summer intensive week the participants had a chance to get some information about this form of therapy and even had a chance to work with and try some methods used in the therapy. A Bothmer Therapy training is planned to start in the near future. We will soon announce the details in the newsletter. In the meantime, encouraged by last year’s success, an introductory Bothmer Therapy course will be offered at the international summer intensive week 2025.”

“ The Embodiment training was completed on March 17, 2024. 23 people have received their certificates and will be able to start working with this method, helping both children and adults. Those interested will be able to encounter Embodiment and other therapeutic content again at the annual international summer intensive week.”

“In the Autumn of 2022 the Hungarian Bothmer Association and BMI jointly launched the Erasmus Plus program’s small-scale cooperation application, which it won. As part of the project, the two organizations will implement programs between March 2023 and November 2024, which will help provide new therapeutic tools to teachers and therapists in order to support the increasing need for assistance in schools.
As part of the project, an Embodiment training will be set up and started and we will also begin the development of a future Bothmer therapy training. You can find more details about both trainings in our regular newsletter.”

what is BMI
what we do
We are an international organisation based in Europe running both full trainings and shorter programms worldwide promoting a new way of looking at movement education.
Pedagogy
When a child is taught through Bothmer® he/she is presented with the possibility to more readily master the forces of space which pass through and around them. The six directions and three planes of space, each have a particular nature which the child is able to develop through the practice of chosen activities. The space around and between us is alive with quality which asks to be worked and managed. Different parts of the body have different functions in movement and these need to be helped to develop. The results of this education over time can be seen in health, posture, coordinative ability, confidence and ease of movement.
Self education
We run both, full trainings and shorter programmes worldwide, promoting a new way of looking at movement education. The aim of Bothmer® movement International is to train people to professionally work with Bothmer movement or just cultivate self perception to strengthen the relationship to our body and the space and people around us. Through the understanding of the human organisation in its many levels, as practically experienced through Bothmer® movement, a qualitative enhancement in the various professional fields in which people work with Bothmer movement, as well as in all situations of everydays life will be possible. Different parts of the body have different functions in movement and these need to be helped to develop. The results of this education over time can be seen in health, posture, coordinative ability, confidence and ease of movement.
Therapy
Bothmer movement therapy is a way of perceiving, treating and preventing health problems. We are offering consciously modelled movement possibilities, designed to integrate and balance the dynamic postural planes of space of the body. They establish vital physiological equilibrium of form and function, gravity and levity, point to periphery and visa versa. Through the application of conscious harmonious movement sequences a therapeutic process is harnessed that enables a range of movement abilities and disabilities to be treated
Bothmer® around the world
what connects us
Movement is a joyful social process. While moving, we are constantly sculpting the space. The inner space, the outer space and the space where we interact with others. So, taking in account, that Bothmer is a spatial sculpting process it is at the same time self-development and social art. Some move alone, some have defined times and move simultaneously in different places all over the world. Also, we meet regularly in different places to practise, exchange and study as well as we are holding contact internationally through the Association “Bothmer movement international”. Part of what connects us is our newsletter.
