About

Shaping history together

Making embodied wisdom available to everyone, everywhere, free of charge.


An online conference and more than that…
a kickstart to a global movement.

Embodiment is about making friends with your body, and feeling at home in your skin. The conference will give you free access to the top teachers in the field, offer a community of support, and be a huge global party to be remembered.

Embodiment is an antidote to the violence, disconnection and overwhelm caused by numbing, and a return to our shared humanity. For this reason, ​our goal is to make the 20’s the embodiment decade​,​ and help humanity thrive. The Embodiment Conference is a university, a fiesta and a catalyst. In a cynical age this is a bold vision, yes, but if not now when?

TEC will again be a uniquely rich opportunity for diverse learning, and will not only help you to come home to the anchor of your body in a chaotic world: to energise and inspire you personally, but also to connect with others for whom the body matters too. TEC will use global online community, to create local communities and real-world action.

Participants have an opportunity not just to get a bunch of information, but to clarify and digest that into wisdom. Through this event you can:

  • Learn from the leaders and innovators in the field
  • Gain deep personal insights (we will provide a platform to help with this)
  • Deepen and reboot your own practice
  • Easily learn about many new areas
  • Build real relationships and gain a community of support that will continue long
    after the event (online and in-person).
  • Have a really good time doing all this 🙂

Channels

1000 presenters, 10 Rooms

The conference is back…bigger but easier

TEC2020 has 1000 presenters, ordered into 10 channels, and we have a clever system so you can easily find what you’ll most love.

Yes 1000! We expect 100,000+ people to attend and this may actually be the largest educational event in human history. Given the huge amount on offer and that most of us are busy people, some have asked us already how we suggest accessing the feast! Here are some options:

  • Just watch the “main stage” channel where 3 of the best known presenters will be daily.
  • Book some time off and treat it like a face-to-face conference! We’ll be releasing the schedule weeks in advance so you can plan if you like to be organised.
  • Let us pick two talks a day for you, just tell us your main area of interest and time zone and we’ll send you a “best of” recommendations
  • Dip in and out randomly simply by clicking the various channels (like having the best TV ever for 12 days)
  • See what’s “hot” on the Facebook group
  • Buy the recordings and never need Netflix again!

The conference is totally FREE (only recordings cost money to cover our expenses).

Benefits

Embodiment 2020

Why register now?

We learnt at the 2018 conference, that you definitely can teach embodiment online and build community that way too (despite what the cynics said before). We had great engagement from an audience from 90 countries, and had a really good time! Delegates made and continue to make TEC what it is, as the event is co-created – there have been votes on this website, format and presenters for example. We’d love you to have a say, so register and join the conversation. This also helps us out too, as the more early registrations we have the better it looks to potential sponsors.

Lastly, we’re also giving away some free gifts for early registration…as who doesn’t like presents 🙂

Here’s what you will get now when you register your FREE place

e-books:

Embodied wisdom The best top tips from the last conference

Working with normal people: A guide for hippies - on how to bring embodied world to “mainstream groups”

Centring Why mindfulness alone isn’t enough

Community & Volunteers

In 2018 we found that the conference is impossible without many helping hands! We established an active community via the Facebook group (please join if you haven’t yet) as well as through the Embodiment Circles which emerged out of the conference last year.

One of our big wishes for the conference in 2020 is that this community continues to grow and flourish. In order to do that, we will need many people to spread the word about the event, and volunteers before and during the conference. We appreciate any little thing you can do to help us make this event happen together. We are looking for proofreaders, Zoom hosts, community builders in different networks, people that speak different languages and more.

If you would like to get involved please contact us via the button below.

Sponsors & Investors

Are you interested in becoming a sponsor or willing to lend us money?

Our conference is funded by low interest loans from the community and wouldn’t be possible without this. Last year we paid everyone back immediately from selling recordings and fully expect the same business model to work again. Actually, we know what we’re doing this year and the recording package is bigger and better, so it’s a much safer bet now 🙂

We also have some great sponsorship opportunities available – the event will be huge
after all – with various packages and channels (e.g. leadership or yoga) that can be supported so that you can promote what you offer. If you’d like to promote your product or service to 150,000+ people then it could be a good fit.

If you’d like to support us or invest into the conference as a business, do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
