We create stories to make sense of our body sensations and emotions. Our stories then create sensations and emotions in our bodies. This process develops our sense of self, sense of others, and our worldview. Yet, our stories can be self-limiting, create conflict, and be untrue! The more aware we are of our beliefs, values, and stories the better equipped we are to move through life with clarity and direction.

Where do you end, and others begin? Where do you go when you move away from pain? What are you vulnerable to? Borrowing from Brené Brown, who states in Atlas of the Heart “The center will hold. I believe that in the midst of struggle, the center will hold if, and only if, we can feel the edges.”

Come explore your sense of center and find and feel your edges using the mindful movement, conscious dance practice of Open Floor International. What we practice on the dance floor cultivates awareness and insight that informs how we move through life off the dance floor.
