Join our highly experienced and talented teaching team for a deep dive into Open Floor movement practice. This immersion is an opportunity for intensive personal practice and a deeper understanding of its relevance to daily life.
From teachers of other modalities, coaches, educators, community leaders and mental health practitioners to the simply curious and passionate, our mission is to welcome anyone who wishes to taste, learn and explore the Open Floor curriculum and use this work to change lives in their communities...
Emotional embodiment refers to the process of learning to become wise, resilient and creative in relation to our own and other’s emotions. It refers to our capacity to feel emotion and to remain present and creative in all four domains of relationship (alone, with a partner, in a group, and in relation to spirit).
In this immersion you will develop insights and skills to become emotionally embodied. You will:
"I was aware of the profound affect dance has on me mentally, emotionally and spiritually however the experience gave all of this a language. The resources available worked their magic on my body and my nervous system. It is a magnificent, lifelong practice which gives us a whole range of ways of moving. Not only that, it is a powerful tool for self-expression, and its effects are transformative, both in the moment, and with lasting effect."
*Conscious Dance Practices: Open Floor, Soul Motion, 5Rhythms™, Movement Medicine, Freedom Dance, Azul, Tamalpa Life/Art Process, Continuum, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies. Let us know in your application if there’s another conscious dance practice you have studied that you would like us to consider.
