Our biggest resource at Open Floor International is our community. Meet the movement teachers from around the globe who are supporting our mission with their time, skills, and passion.
Our working members are organized in Circles, based on the principles of Dynamic Governance. While there are leaders, the power is in the group rather than any individual. This ensures that everybody has a sovereign voice in the management of the organization.
Meet the people in the circles…
Equivalent to a Board of Directors, the Top Circle sets our vision and vector, creating the broadest policies and long-term plans to guide Open Floor International. This circle supports the solvency and sustainability of Open Floor International by creating and overseeing financial policies and fundraising initiatives. This circle also ensures our work aligns with our organizational values and tends our relational field. The “Dreamers Circle” is a task force commissioned by Top Circle to research and recommend strategies for the the future of OFI.
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Circle is in development.
Education is at the heart of all we do at Open Floor International. The Educational Programs Circle co-ordinates and supervises the workgroups concerned with the content and delivery of all training programs for teachers and the public, provides supervision and supports for new trainers, and redesigns curriculum based on 360 feedback to ensure high quality programming.
Helps spread awareness of our movement revolution and raise the visibility of Open Floor
International. The Communications Circle informs, inspires and supports the teachers, movers, and
volunteers that make up our global community through our website, social media channels and email campaigns.
The Tech Circle develops and supports technology solutions, keeping all Working Members connected and supporting educational programs.
Bringing together decades of experience as leaders and trainers in the fields of conscious dance, embodiment and mindful movement, our founders created Open Floor International to further the development of movement as a healing practice.
Our Founding Members are movement teachers, mindfulness and embodiment experts from all over the globe. They have pooled their vast wealth of experience and knowledge, birthing a new movement practice that reflects the most current research in embodiment, science, the arts, education and mindfulness.
