Or as they learn to venture out and reach for objects and people around them. How a dysregulated child might hide or lash out with hitting. Or how an adult in conflict might avoid or be aggressive. These are all examples of the Open Floor International Core Movement Resource of EXPAND AND CONTRACT. We are constantly opening and closing and extending and pulling back to center.

How to Be Steady in an Unsteady World

Life is constantly happening in and around us. Certain things we welcome wholeheartedly and other things we resist. One of the great skills of life is learning how to remain steady in an unsteady world. I believe our three greatest resources in this pursuit are 1) body-based movement, 2) nature, and 3) community.
