States of Being ONLINE Therapy-in-Motion

States of Being: Therapy-In-Motion

Monthly Sunday Sessions ~ February - June 2026

Join me to explore lesser known pathways of movement so that your dance can express more of the essence of you.

During these Therapy-in-Motion sessions, space will be created for some dancers to work individually with me. Witnessed and supported by the rest of the group, our compassionate field will amplify the possibility of palpable transformation for all of the group.

The state of your being influences your capacity to focus, relate, and be authentic in life.

These Therapy-in-Motion sessions are where I weave in 1:1 work within a group context.

Monthly Sunday Sessions 2026:

Dates: 22 February, 22 March, 19 April, 17 May, 28 June

Times: 10am-1pm, UK time. Check your timezone here

Registration Fee: £20, non-refundable.

Attunement: At the end of the workshop, Deborah will guide a financial attunement where you are invited to contribute more if you are able to. For more info on Vital Moves Fair Pricing Policy please click here.

An OFI Life Long Learning webinar for OF teachers

ONLINE on Mighty Networks

Revelling in our In Vivo document

Cultivating our shared language as Open Floor Teachers

When people ask, "What is Open Floor?" — and we know they do, often! — the answer lies in our Core Movement Resources (CMRs). Whilst there's also the 4x4 Weave, Continuums, Differentiations, and more — this LLL Webinar invites you into closer relationship with the CMRs through the In Vivo document, a rich collaboration by the curriculum creators of Open Floor Movement Practice. I still consider In Vivo my teaching 'bible'. It's on the DJ desk when I teach, alongside my notes — you'll spot it if you ever assist me. In this webinar, explore the endless possibilities this document offers us as teachers and human beings:

  • Notice your familiar "go-to" CMRs when teaching — and the ones you leave aside

  • Experiment with which CMRs serve different themes, students, and music choices

  • Observe and track embodied (and not-yet-embodied) cues — within yourself, on the dance floor, and in daily life

  • Practice naming what you see and feel in language your students recognise as Open Floor vocabulary.

You're warmly welcome to join for inspiration, connection, and renewed motivation in your teaching and dance.

Dates Saturday 11 April 2026

Times 9 AM - 11 AM, UK time (check your timezone here)

Price Sliding scale $50-20 USD

Restore and Explore

A Systemic Constellations weekend with Deborah Lewin + Liane Maitland

IN-PERSON in FINDHORN, Scotland

Restore and Explore

Old systems and structures break down to make way for what follows. They always have and they always will. It’s often a painful process as we grieve, swim in the waters of the liminal, search for clarity, and for light in the darkness – individually, and collectively.

At the heart of Systemic Constellations work is a belief that the roots of the issues we struggle with most lie deep in the unconscious of our wider familial, social, and cultural systems.

Now more than ever, in the face of global uncertainty and change, it is crucial we find ways to centre, stay open-hearted and untangle ourselves from what we inherited, which isn’t ours to carry.

Join us this summer for a restorative weekend, on potent and sacred land, as we explore issues, stories and patterns – personal, ancestral, collective. Experience of Systemic Constellations is not necessary – just an open mind, a benevolent heart and a willingness to inquire in community. 

Date 12 - 14 June 2026

Venue Universal Hall, FINDHORN ECOVILLAGE, Scotland

Times Friday 3pm-6pm | Saturday 10am-6pm | Sunday 10am-1pm
