INTERNATIONAL GATHERING IN VIENNA
Dear Authentic Movement colleagues:

A group of dance therapist, psychotherapists and other professionals met in Vienna last year with the intension of intensifying professional exchange on Authentic Movement. See the posting in the International Authentic Movement Comnunity Site for more details and the photos to get the atmosphere.




This unpretentious international meeting was a very valuable experience for all of us so that we are organizing a new meeting this year. We first planed to go to Rio de Janeiro but, due to schedule constraints, we will repeat it in Vienna this year and Soraia Jorge and Guto Macedo from Rio will be helping to organize it. We are still planning to go to Moscow and Rio in the next years and are looking forward for more invitations!




The idea is to move together and share personal and professional experience in the summer in a pleasant place.
We hope you got interestedand want to join us this time!

Greetings from Vienna,
Isaias and Clarissa Costa
