THE FLOOR IS OPEN Types of Classes Ongoing groups meet once regularly are are only for people who have registered at the beginning of the series of classes. The ongoing group builds trust and depth of experience between participants. Open Floor classes are regular walk in classes of 2- 3 hours and cover aspects of our well being. These classes do not exclusively follow the Open Floor Teacher format as I weave into the class my own ideas and influences from teachers who have touched my life deeply. Some of the work is based upon the Learning Love institute of Krish and Amana Trobe who have developed a wonderful body of work to help us with shame, shock, risk, trust, co-depencency and abandonment. The main purpose is to help offer insights into helping having more mature relationships. Class Format 45 min to 1hour Warm Up. Opening the Floor Guidance on the theme. Journey and exploration through dance, voice, touch, meditation or other forms of work. Settling period and then closing the floor. Sharing with each Warm Up This is an important part of the dance. You can come and warm up before the start and use the Warm Up to help your mind and body arrive in the space by stretching and moving in ways that open the body to receive more energy. Some people lie on the floor and just relax others move slowly leaving the thoughts of the day behind and clear their mind ready for practice. I strongly encourage people to put everything into the warm up so they are really alive and emotionally ready for the remainder of the class. Other Practical Details for Open Floor classes and workshops
Community Dances This Open Floor Class has a simple format with no exercises or group sharing. I hold the space and provide dancers with the opportunity to engage in their own personal practice. You may want to dance with other people or alone it is entirely up to you to choose what is best for you. There will be a core movement resource that I will introduce as a theme for exploration and structure for those who wish to have a framework to practice within. Classes are for anyone who wishes become more mindful, conscious and simply let the body heal past wounds or re-energise it's self through movement. Courses for 2021 The 2021 schedule can be consulted from the Calendar. Please use the contact form to ask for more details as I am suspending walk in classes due to the COVID-19 health restrictions. Free Events. To encourage conscious movement practice there are periodic Free workshops. Check the calendar for the next one. QUINTA DA CORUJA Open Floor Portugal. Dance and Open Floor workshops Portugal. Movement Thereay Portugal. Quinta da Coruja is our new home in Portugal, where we are about to create a small scale course centre. We are following our dream to live a sustainable life in a nice climate where we can be more self-sufficient. We are following the principles of permaculture design and hoping to create an oasis for wellbeing for both humans, animals and plants. Quinta da Coruja is a farm with 26ha land consisting of meadows with old stone oaks, pine forest and a beautiful valley in the mountains with old olives and vines abandoned by humans long time ago. We also offer services of Eco-tourism with B&B. Accommodation is in our independent guesthouse or the suite in the end of the main building, both with own bathrooms. Accommodation in yurts and cabins with a communal outdoor kitchen and composting toilets will be available in the near future. We will be offering residential dance workshops where you can deepen you dance movement practice and inner awareness. Our aim is to invite like minded people to come and stay with us to help create a centre for personal spiritual development. The vision is to practice and exchange our practices together in community. Individuals live in nature and be on their own retreat knowing that there are morning and evening community practices of dance and meditation. The opportunity is to grow and offer our teachings to each other and people who wish to stay at the centre. This is the vision. |
