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 on the 3rd Tuesday evenings of each month.
Art in Motion: Reclaiming Your Creativity on the Dance Floor
Art in Motion (AIM) is a specialized program within the Open Floor movement curriculum. While "Open Floor" is a conscious dance practice that uses movement to explore what it means to be human, AIM takes it a step further. It blends our movement resources with writing, theatre, and visual arts.

Yoga for Wellness!
I was introduced to the practice of yoga in the Summer of 2000 by a new friend I met in a train station in Italy. She took me to my first sweaty, hot Bikram’s yoga class once we returned to Madison, WI where we were both undergrads.

Release Stress and Claim Joy!
Stress is a common occurrence for many of us! The problem with stress is when it is chronic, overwhelming, or when we don’t have good stress management tools.
The mindfulness, resource-based movement practice of Open Floor International is one of the best ways, I know to release stress and allow the body to self-regulate.
The Open Floor Meditation Cycle at Forestville Vines in May, June, and July 2024!
I will be teaching different modifications of the OF Mediation Cycle on the first Sundays from 11am-1pm starting May 5, 2024 and continuing on June 2, 2024 and July 7, 2024 at Forestville Vines outside of River Falls, WI. Forestville Vines is in and on the grounds of an old school house from 1897. There is a special magic to the land. We will be practicing outside, barefeet to the earth, and big sky above.
