In these drop in Open Floor Meditation Cycles, we alternate sitting, walking, and dancing to draw attention inward, be with our body breathing, and build the fortitude and inner strength to meet whatever arises with ease.

Open Floor is a resource based movement practice. We explore new ways of moving and responding to what is happening with intention and purpose. We learn to understand our habits and patterns for deeper insight and self awareness. The more we embody different responses in our movements, the more resources we can call on to move through life with flexibility, resilience and ease.

Fertile Ground (previously known as Bare Bones) is an Open Floor foundational series for beginners and seasoned movers alike. During this 6-week exploration we will bring our attention to the 4x4 weave of the Open Floor Movement Practice, in particular the 4 layers of embodiment (physical, emotional, mental and soulful) which create dynamic, shifting playing fields for all our dances. All are welcome, regardless of experience.

Dancing Freedom engages and activates the innate intelligence of our bodies for healing, self expression and a return to wholeness. We layer dance, music and breath with intent and ritual to create a mindful experience that is inspiring, empowering and invites your wholehearted participation with life. 

Moon Rising is a sacred space for womxn to come together as mothers, sisters, friends ~ to rest in What Is without need to fix or mend, strive or plan. We listen. We move. We pay attention to what shows up in the body...together...revealing and witnessing what we cannot reveal alone.

These outdoor dances offer movers an opportunity to attune to natural rhythms, explore body, heart and soul in relation to others, and move and be moved in conscious, creative ways during these complex and beautiful times.

Join me in a 4-week embodied exploration of communal well being and sacred sharing.

One of the most compelling ways to connect and commune with the land we call home is to establish a relationship with the landscape. To slow down and tune into one place…listening, witnessing, and opening to the luminous points where currents intertwine and life emerges. 

The Open Floor is a healing movement practice that invites us to move and include the fullness of our experience while discovering what it means, in our own bodies, to live an embodied life.

Community Visioning is a workshop for anyone who enjoys dancing as a conscious, life-affirming practice and wishes to support the beauty and vibrancy of Conscious Dance here in the Twin Cities!

Spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings and a renewal of spirit. In this Soul Motion workshop we follow our life force energy - our inner fire - to uncover what has become hidden from view.  While curiously listening to what is present, we dance to awaken - to shake off what is no longer needed - to ignite what is ready to grow. 

Standing up is not a one-time event – it takes fortitude. In relationships, at work, in conversation, with our own habits, we are called to stand up again and again, in matters big and small. How does our movement practice support this?

Many of us seek lightness and freedom, but struggle to access the joy that is readily available amidst the varied experiences of our lives. Through the 5rhythms movement practice and the rhythm of lyrical, we can access ways of being that are free of effort and striving. Spread your wings and let their strength carry you ~ open to discovering ways of appreciating joy ~ dance in the direction of your hopes, wishes and dreams! 

The practices of Nia and Soul Motion come together to weave an embodied experience of dancing inward, into the body, to know ourselves more fully. 

Through the Open Floor movement practice we will connect to self and source with breath and embodied exercises to transform limitations, expand our movement vocabulary, and shift the currents that govern our everyday dance.

Start 2017 by diving deeply into the 5Rhythms movement practice with an intention of embodiment. 

In this Open Floor workshop, we will come back to a place of innocence and curiosity, playfulness and connection. We will reconnect with the beauty and pleasure of the senses and from there begin to move into the simple joy of connecting with others without story or agenda. 

Using the Open Floor Movement practice and principles of Somatic Experiencing you will develop greater trust in following your inner wisdom and live into your life with more mindfulness, awareness and vitality!
