The schedule each day is 8:30am to 5:30pm. We recommend arriving the day before course begins due to the early morning start. Please join us for a meet and greet the night before at WildHeart.

Attendance on the first day of the course is required. Fulfilling attendance requirements (including being present for the first day and participation in the final day of the course) is required for credit towards certification.

To become a registered Somatic Movement Educator through The School for Body-Mind Centering® (and a Registered Somatic Movement Educator through ISMETA) students must take all of the courses in the SME program and complete the homework. Students can complete the courses at any licensed organization in the world, and in any order.
