An Open Floor Movement Retreat with Deborah, in the Algarve, Portugal.

Daily opportunities for dancing, connection, relaxation and fun, with time to swim, sunbathe, walk and reflect. May the very substance of our bodies be resourced by the air, sun, water and earth, bringing us home.

A six-day New Year Dance Gathering in Findhorn, Scotland – with Deborah Jay-Lewin & Arjan Bouw.

Join us as we end our year together and take our first new steps in loving company.

The quest to relate

Finding the balance between solo and contact time is a tender dance to undertake - it’s natural to oscillate. There are many subtle and unconscious prompts, on personal, cultural and universal levels, which influence the choice to move towards or away from connection.

Do you contract with the effort to control change? When the going gets tough, do you find ways to avoid or escape? What enables you to soften, keep focused, release and let go, expand and connect with effortless synchronicity? Are you open to the possibility of greater equanimity, whatever the external circumstances might be?

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.

This Open Floor workshop will be focusing on your physical embodiment and expression; giving you tools to explore lesser-known paths, so your dance reflects more of the essential you. During the course of the weekend, space will be created for some dancers to have the opportunity to work individually with Deborah. Witnessed and supported by the rest of the group, our compassionate field will amplify the possibility of palpable transformation for all present.

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.

Change can be so unsettling, even though it is the only predictable thing there is. Some changes we resist, others we welcome.
