‘A STEP UP’

WHAT IS ‘A STEP UP’?
An intimate 6 week closed group for 6 professionals
An opportunity to journey with a group of like-minded professionals, learning and growing together.
Gain a more thorough understanding of the Open Floor curriculum, its usefulness, and relevance in your professional teaching practices.
Meeting together regularly over the 6 weeks increases shared trust and safety, contributing to a more creative and curious learning environment.
Open to participants from previous MM groups or drop-in sessions, so that everyone begins with a mutual understanding and intention.
A private Telegram group is offered to support a sense of belonging and a place to pose questions. It’s also a place for you to engage between sessions, if you choose.

“Recognising similarities in the vulnerability of others, peeled away my confining protective shell.”
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 Minding Movement
“Deborah Lewin is a masterful teacher with decades of experience that show in her gentle confidence and intuitive heartfelt mentorship. It was very enjoyable and satisfying.”
“I loved Minding Movement with Deborah. A wonderful, safe and inspiring place to be held as a professional and connect with other professionals. Seeing each person go through their journey and Deborah’s skillful guidance, support and wisdom made these weekly sessions a joy to attend. (...) Seeing the expertise in simple guidance that helped each person find points of reflection and integration. Thank you!”
“Being taught by someone who is 100% present with herself and with you, Deborah’s Minding Movement is a powerful teaching modality created through her lifetime of movement study, conscious enquiry, embodied practice, her dedication to healing through the wisdom of the body. ”
“[I would recommend to] any fellow dancing friends and professionals that are looking for extra support and somatic work.”
“Minding Movement has given me the opportunity to feel into new ways of working with clients. By observing Deborah utilising body movements with reflective communication I’ve witnessed mental and emotional shifts in feeling and thought processes in a short period of time. This is exciting and inspiring and feeling dynamically relevant to the work I do. ”
“What was most of value to you?
- Observing Deborah’s skills, body language, pace, how she responds to the unique moment, how she holds the teaching space.
- Hearing the Open Floor language and some of its core principles.
- The ‘initiations’ themselves.
- ‘Echoing’ the words/expressions the ‘client’ used during their process made me feel i was contributing to/participating in their absorption process, helping it land in my body as well.”
“I have found this group incredibly rich. I’ve been inspired by the skill and presence, the perspectives and metaphors, the creativity and spontaneity within this group. I have been deeply touched, challenged and sustained by our time together.”
“It felt like we were witnessing a ‘liturgy’ in your facilitation of her initiation.
In our breakout room conversation we articulated ways of incorporating your skills in our own practice.”
“Each initiation has been a discovery of more of myself, over and above becoming more familiar with the MM Supervision process.”
