Life itself is nothing but relationship. – Adyashanti
Whether you call yourself a loner or a lover, a joiner or a rebel, there’s just no getting around it: we are hard wired to be moving, relational animals with healthy human hungers: for solitude, intimate connection, and belonging to something larger than ourselves.
Our needs ebb and flow at different times in our lives. When we’re out of balance with a particular hunger, either yearning or too full, we suffer. We may have an abundance of good friends and struggle to find a partner. We may be surrounded by family and miss the sweet territory of our own solitude.
In this weekend of Open Floor Movement we take to the dance floor to be with ourselves and each other in relationship. We turn the light of curiosity on our own movements and what they have to tell:
- How at home are you in your own company?
- Is your first motion forward or back in relation to another?
- Can you sense the smallest change in gesture as your heart opens or closes to someone?
- Where are we likely to find you in a group – in the middle, on the edge, or out the door?
Dancing, witnessing, playing, trying something new, inquiring – all in service to more fluidity and freedom in all our relations.

In Good Standing
Melbourne, Australia
March 3-5, 2017
Taught by: Kathy Altman, Lori Saltzman
Standing up is not a one-time event – it takes fortitude. In relationships, at work, in conversation, with our own habits, we are called to stand up again and again, in matters big and small. Often we have to stand alone. And anyone who has been in a long term relationship (parent, friend, child, partner) knows the power of learning the right moment to “stand down” when conflicts arise. So how do we embody this necessary practice? In this weekend workshop we will mine the innate wisdom of our bodies to
investigate:
Who do we stand behind, beside?
Where are we afraid to stand up?
What won’t we stand for anymore?
How do we stand our ground when the ground is shaking?
Let’s ask the questions together and allow our bodies to answer.
