A weekend Open Floor workshop to support you Access, Embody and Express the fullness of your heart.

IN-PERSON in Glasgow

heartfulllife

  • There are plenty of reasons to guard your heart these days. You don’t have to look far to see the inhabitants of this earth are troubled; on a screen, down the street, through the window of a train. Then again, almost every day I see or hear something that makes me smile, feel peaceful or excited about the innovative times I am living in.

  • What is it that makes a difference? Is it perception? Is it how you are feeling? Or how you feel about your feelings?

  • Come spend the weekend on the Open Floor using movement consciously, to liberate your body and become the most tender, inspiring, engaged being you can humanly be.

“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.”
