Our 4 Relational Hungers

As human beings, we are relational beings. Relationships are intertwined with our survival. Relationships meet our needs for belonging, security, and significance. We’re in relationship not just with people, but with ourselves, nature, spirit, ancestry, creativity, and ideas.

The mindful movement and conscious dance practice of Open Floor International identifies Four Relational Hungers.

• SOLITUDE: left alone, self, turn inward

• CONNECTION: excited/nourished by partner, intimacy

• BELONGING: part of group, union, welcomed

• SPIRIT: part of flow, be held by something beyond

The Open Floor Movement Cycle

One of the anchors of Open Floor practice is the Movement Cycle which includes:

1. Open Attention: We open both our inner and outer awareness, arrive for practice, and welcome whatever is noticed.

2. Enter with an Embodied Anchor: We enter our bodies and sensation.

3. Explore: Here we deepen and broaden our awareness, expand, and experiment with guided and self-directed inquiries.

4. Settle: And to end, we slow down, integrate, and allow our nervous systems to encode new pathways.

Life is Movement

From before birth, until our last breath, we are moving. Movement might look like our heart beating, walking, or the choices we make. We are constantly moving towards or away, with or against, and in so many other ways. Our bodies and movement are one of our greatest resources as human beings. There is a reason that throughout history and across cultures people move, people dance. It is how we live. It is how we communicate. It is how we meet needs. Emotions are energy moving in our bodies. Movement is one of our birth rights. We get to grow and change. Why not practice movement with “intention and purpose?”
