It's full-on autumn in Findhorn; the moon is almost full, my wood stove is lit, music is on, the wind is brewing up to an Amber storm... There is a lot I want to share, so settle in, get your favourite drink, and take your time.
Or maybe you'll skim, skip, or slide.
My call. Your response :)
Open Floor International Offerings
There are several OFI offerings I am excited about, including ones I am not teaching! In-depth, with new faculty; Read on to stay informed:
Immersions
Faculty: Deborah Lewin and Lucie Nerot (France)

I'm happy to say we have opened bookings for the immersions part of the Teacher Training. You might attend one or all four of them. Each immersion has its own theme; we have 25 spaces available (actually fewer, as some have already been snapped up); you'll dance and learn alongside those on the Teacher Training.
This is for you if:
You want to dive deeper into the Open Floor practice and have the opportunity to learn new ways to weave in the open source Open Floor resources into your life and work, so that you can thrive.
You know that including the body as a doorway will expand your professional possibilities, and you are not sure how to do that in a safe and effective way.
You want to bring embodiment into the work you already do: As a therapist, coach, facilitator, educator, artist, or leader, devise new ways to bring movement into your work.
Immersion 1
Common Ground & Physical Embodiment
12 - 17 April, 2027
Teacher Training
Faculty: Deborah Lewin and Lucie Nerot (France)

Open Floor isn't only about learning how to teach. It is about developing the capacity to witness and respond with presence, creativity, structure, and freedom.
I am honoured to be faculty alongside Lucie Nerot for the Open Floor teacher training series that starts in April and takes place in 4 phases over the next 2 years in Austria and Spain.
You will learn to:
Discover your authentic teaching voice: Learn how to bring the Open Floor curriculum to life in a way that is uniquely yours.
Deepen your own practice: Developing a more trusting relationship with your body and embodied intelligence.
Ground Floor Lab
31 January - 5 February 2027 ~ Reichenau an der Rax, AUSTRIA
This Ground Floor Lab will be offered over 6 days this winter, near Vienna. It is for people who love to dance and want to understand more deeply how this practice works, and for anyone who wants to bring embodiment into their work, whether you are a teacher, coach, therapist, educator or work in social or health care. You will leave with practices you can use in your daily life, in your relationships, and in your professional work
10 Core Movement Resources and a look behind the curtain of what we do.
If you are interested in joining the Open Floor Teacher Training that begins in April 2027, Ground Floor Lab offers a 30 hour introduction to the Open Floor curriculum and is a prerequisite.
