Open Floor is a movement meditation and dance practice in which we learn through embodied expression and movement, how to live more connected, authentic and whole lives. Whether you are a long time conscious dancer or the word dance really frightens you, I invite you to join us. Moving out of our comfort zone is how we grow. There is no right or wrong way to move.
Open Floor helps us reconnect, to come back home. Movement expresses and releases what our bodies hold and helps to regulate our nervous system. Dancing to carefully crafted soundscapes, we move our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations as we learn resources for life.
Open Floor is a lively dance, meditation and inquiry. We dance to feel, learn and grow. We dance for fuller expression of who we are. We dance to build connection and resilience. We dance to settle our nervous system and wake up to this one wild & precious life.

Continuum Movement builds on intuitive, fully embodied motion that is novel and refreshing. Continuum practice creates an internal climate of cellular nurturing and renewed somatic vitality, by allowing a gentle dissolving of compression in the body's tissue and joints. Through breath and sound vibration, it inspires a breaking through of physical and emotional "obstacles" that limit the flow of healing energy in the body.
We will dive into the work gently, listening to our body's unique needs. The focus is on alleviating joint compression while heightening awareness through movement and somatic consciousness. You will feel rejuvenated as well as relaxed on a core level.

Voice of the Abdomen Workshop
A Continuum & Expressive Arts Movement Therapy Workshop for
Feminine Empowerment, Healing
& Somatic Release
~Art Supplies Included~
Our Bodies store negative and positive imprints, how we establish our sense of alignment around past emotional scripts, and how we organize ourselves around old traumas, patterns, beliefs, and postures. This is mirrored in our physical structure and the functioning of each body part. We see in our bodies, how we are stuck, how we are holding and the quality of our desire, joy and sadness.
The Abdomen is associated with the "gut brain" or the enteric brain, which is responsible for our "happy feelings," as well as the context of our sorrow and our pain. This body part reflects our ability to digest things and/or eliminate them--including how we hold down feelings and our ability to process or assimilate the experiences of our lives.
Using the Abdomen as both a literal and a metaphoric key into personal and archetypal life themes, you will identify and explore the life-script associated with this potent body part, and make breakthroughs in an embodied, healing way.
In this Continuum and Life-Art Process experience, you will be gently guided into exploring the wisdom of the of the Abdomen, to encounter, confront, explore in creative, innovative ways, that which is no longer serving you. You will explore artful ways to unravel the stories that lie within that may be holding you back in life. As the voice of the Abdomen unfolds and we allow the body-mind to "speak," greater possibilities for change, renewal and growth will emerge.
Belly of Renewal Workshop
A Continuum Depths Dive for Somatic Healing & Cellular Rejuvenation
Using simple yet powerful continuum movement practice, breath and sound exploration, you will learn to tap into the wisdom of the Enteric Brain (the Gut Brain), where our "happy feelings" are generated and housed. Come and:
- Invoke your own inner, movement meditation and give yourself the gift of diving into the "underworld" of your own abdomen and core.
- Wake up to the deeper terrains of your body's intelligence, alive with ancient, aquatic wisdom.
- Discover ways to hone in and cultivate a healthy rhythm for soothing the enteric brain.
- Learn to relax into your body's sacred fluid system and natural desire to balance, regenerate and heal.
- Move beyond story and journey into the sea of your belly's wisdom to nourish your Self and your "cells."
- Discover another layer of somatic consciousness through the breath, and anchor deeper into your body's midline, anatomy of the belly and cosmic connectedness.

Empowering the Pelvis Workshop
A Body-based Expressive Arts Therapy Workshop for
Feminine Empowerment
& Somatic Renewal
Art Supplies Included
Our Bodies store negative and positive imprints, how we establish our sense of alignment around past emotional scripts, and how we organize ourselves around old traumas, patterns, beliefs and postures. This is mirrored in our physical structure and the functioning of each body part. We see in our bodies, our posture, in our gestures, how we are stuck, how we are holding, and the quality of our longing and ourjoy. Each body part possesses life themes that are also related to biological, physiological and functional aspects.
In this Continuum and Life-Art Process Empowering the Pelvis workshop, you will be gently and expertly guided into the wisdom of the body-mind to encounter, confront, explore, and deconstruct, in creative, innovative ways, that which no longer is serving you higher good. You will learn to artfully unravel the stories that lie within that may be holding you back in life, through gradually allowing the body-mind to "speak." As the old story unfolds, greater possibilities for change, renewal and growth will naturally emerge.
Using the Pelvis as both a literal and a metaphoric key into personal and archetypal life themes, you will identify and explore the life-script associated with this potent body part, and make discoveries and breakthroughs in a constructive, artfully embodied and creative way.
Everyone Welcome!
