Summer in Motion: Step Outside with Open Floor Movement
There is something transformative about the St. Croix River Valley in the summer. The air is thick with the scent of flowers and prairie grass, the sun lingers late into the evening, and our bodies naturally yearn to shed the layers of winter and move.
At Coriander Living Collective, we believe that a life well lived requires us to be intentional about our connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us. This summer 2026, we are taking that mission literally—by taking our practice outside.
Why Move Outside?
Open Floor is a resource-based movement practice. We use the dance floor (or in this case, the grass!) as a laboratory to explore how we move through life. When we bring this practice into nature, our Core Movement Resources take on new dimensions:
Grounding: Feeling the literal earth beneath your feet helps us sense support and build a foundation of safety.
Spatial Awareness: In the open air, our bubble expands. We explore the distance between ourselves and the trees, the sky, and each other.
Release: There is a unique freedom in letting your breath and movement rise into the summer breeze, allowing the nervous system to settle and regulate in a way that only nature can facilitate.
What to Expect
If you’ve never tried Open Floor, don't let the word dance intimidate you. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, and no right way to look.
We begin each session by arriving—tuning into the body and the environment—opening our attention —entering the theme—exploring with movement—and finally, settling to integrate what we’ve discovered. Curated soundscapes support our practice.

Movement as Medicine
As a psychotherapist, I see daily how movement bridges the gap between the mind and the body. Whether you are navigating stress, seeking deeper self-awareness, or simply looking for a community of like-minded souls, the Open Floor is open to you.
