It is rebellious…
…to move in a society where it is considered normal to sit the whole day.
…to pause even for a moment in a culture where the norm is to do-do-do 24 hours a day.
…to include our emotions into our everyday experience in a civilization that is built up on logic, and where emotional = irrational.
…to learn to focus and direct our attention in an economy where tech monopolies are competing over milliseconds of our attention as their last resort for growth.
…to bring back body, emotions, mind, and soul into unity when for millennia we have been told they were separate.
…to nourish our hunger for solitude when it is expected from us to be reachable and available over phone, email, Facebook continuously and immediately.
…to encounter others in a nonverbal space when most of our communication happens over mobile devices and typed text.
…to get to know others through embodiment when it becomes standard to just swipe left or right.
…to learn how to relate in an education system where trigonometry and historical dates are a must but dealing with human relationships is completely omitted.
…to weave strong communities within nation-states that govern millions and where the voice of only a few are heard.
…to free the body in a political system in which birth, health, illness, movement, and death are exactly recorded and highly controlled.
Come join our communal dancing rebellion that is supported by the embodied resources of the Open Floor movement practice. We will move, breathe, shake, dance, walk, sit, meditate, on our own, in couples, in groups, with beats banging loud, in silence, or tunes swaying softly, listening within, expressing, witnessing and being seen.
Bring your body, a water bottle, comfortable and layered clothes, some friendz or none, your fears and worries, your joy and excitement, your love and your anger, your pain and your history, your wish to change, and your openness to accept yourself as you are.
All genders, ethnicities and bodies welcome.
