“When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.” Viktor Frankl

“What most needs attention is the part of us that we seek to avoid feeling. When we have tended to that, we are changed, and the world is changed with us.” Dan Emmons

The Open Space is an educational, personal, and professional playground that focuses on unleashing body wisdom through eco-somatics, embodiment, somatic awareness, movement, and creativity.

Movement and somatic practice classes — the living body — provide ways to connect the mind and body with intention and develop embodied awareness.

Somatic practices and conscious movement aid in:

• relaxation (regulating the nervous system), releasing tension, and increasing presence in the body.

• Coming into the physical (soma) body through sensation, breath, experiential anatomy, and imagery.

• Engaging in noticing habitual movement and patterns to allow for new patterns and movement to emerge.

• Developing a whole-body connection to increase emotional and kinesthetic intelligence to become more mindful, balanced, and self-aware.

• Developing trust in your body’s wisdom to become more conscious, creative, intuitive, joyful, and confident.
