The aim of the Thinking Body Institute (TBI) is to advance the approach to somatic movement education currently best known as Ideokinesis. Since 2005, we have offered the following:
- TBI Education – This area of the website is a compendium of biographical information on three generations of teachers which includes lists of their publications. https://thinkingbody.org/education/
- TBI Archive – A digital reference room that acquires, organizes, preserves, and displays historical items about the lives and teaching careers of Mabel Todd, Barbara Clark, Lulu Sweigard, and André Bernard. https://thinkingbody.org/archive/
- TBI Exchange – A venue that provides TBI news items, ideas for supporting our website, links to related organizations and contact information on individuals who are new to the field. https://thinkingbody.org/exchange/
- TBI Media – A publishing company that distributes a selection of high-quality reprints, books, and digital media related to Todd’s educational premise. https://tbi-media.org/
Currently, our organization is facing an increasingly challenging economic environment. If you benefit from the resources and services of the Thinking Body Institute, please help us to keep our “house” in order. Here is what you can do:
- Enlarge your somatics library with books and audio files from the TBI Media Store. All proceeds from purchases support the activities of the Institute.
- If your work is affiliated with an academic library, ask your subject area specialist to order our publications.
- Please send us information about related organizations that would enlarge our network.
- If you regularly distribute lists of resources in the field to students or colleagues, include the link to our website. https://thinkingbody.org/
