Optional Peer Practice Gathering…
Alongside the Articulation sessions, there will be a no charge, optional, weekly Peer Practice Gathering — a space to share lived experience of working with Embodied Anchors and CMRs (and any other themes Deborah explores). The intention of these Peer Practices is to support one another around growing edges and challenges, and to exchange learning, inspiration, and practical ideas from our own teaching.
Hosted by assistant Aileen Reid (with the option to rotate hosting), these sessions will include time in small breakout groups and in the full circle.
“The Articulation sessions felt like a warm bath. It gave a sense of belonging. Speaking the same language, watching each other, moving together. Learning from and getting inspired by the skilfulness of Deborah. Refreshing the curriculum. It was very nurturing to connect in this way, since teaching can be such a solo thing at times.”
Emma Bradford speaks about her experience, and working online with Deborah Lewin.

“to recognise the common ground between all of us - so many of us work in different ways but then there were all these common threads and recognising that shared humanity amongst us all was really powerful…”
What others are saying about Articulation
“This space is so important to continue developing new fine tune insights to help us as OF teachers to enrich our practice and to put it into motion in our classes and sessions.”
“I highly recommend this series. It was so valuable for me to connect with peers, to witness Deborah’s teaching unfolding and have the opportunity to discuss and ask questions. The teaching sessions along with the peer groups have helped me feel re-inspired to teach the CMRs that I’m less confident with and given me new ideas. I also loved the time and space to move alongside other teachers, in a held space. And lovely to re-connect with teachers from my training and make new connections too. ”
“Thank you Deborah for your attuned and embodied leadership: it’s helped me to feel less “out” as a post-pandemic teacher, and more included in the diverse “sangha” of Open Floor...it’s wonderful to be inspired by a teacher again!!”
