This 3-week series is designed as an introduction to the mindful movement, conscious dance practice of Open Floor International. We are constantly shaping our minds and being shaped by our minds. This series will focus on Embodied Mind and Belonging. When we are embodied in our mind, we are aware of how our relational patterns, behaviors, habits, and choices are impacted by our thoughts.
What to Expect: You’ll be introduced to the principles of Open Floor International through instruction and experiential practice. We will begin each session by arriving well, opening awareness, using meditation and movement exercises to explore a Core Movement Resource theme, settling, and closing with sharing. Music supports our practice. You will spend time sitting, standing, dancing, talking, breathing, lying, and modifying as needed. Open Floor practice is for everybody.
