✨🐣🌱 Spring is here in Berlin, our planet is starting to show its Northern Hemisphere to the Sun. In the mean time, our global social, geopolitical, economical systems are in massive shifts, causing a lot of uncertainty to almost all of us.
Let these sessions be a resource where we can tap together into the natural cycles of renewal. This Earth has seen many humans, societies and crises come and go, and what we can do as individuals is to take good care of ourselves and each other.
Connecting to Nature’s cycles is one effective way of resourcing ourselves, and how better to do this than through the piece of nature we are – through moving our bodies with awareness. 🌀🔮☯️ ♾️
👯 We have two main focuses during the session:
to stay in movement all the way through
to use the sensations arising through the movements to bring back our attention again and again to the present moment.
During these Open Floor Movement Practice sessions, we follow the Movement Cycle of Open Attention, Entering, Exploring, and Settling. 🌱🫧
🐚 You can move however you want to, slow or fast, small or big, subtle or wild. It doesn’t matter whether you come tired and wish to be more energised, or you come relentless or stressed and wish to be calmer. You can use this space for whatever you need in the moment. 🌊

🌿 About Bence:
Open Floor Teacher, Evolutionary Biologist (PhD)
Bence believes that through mindful movement, we can open space for the complex paradoxes inherent in human life. His teaching draws on a rich synthesis of three distinct yet interconnected domains: over 20 years of practice in dance, yoga, and meditation; a PhD in evolutionary ecology; and in-depth studies in critical social theory. This unique blend offers an integrative approach to movement, deepening the research and exploration of dancers through the understanding that all personal experiences are embedded in social structures and in the wide container of the natural world.
Having completed the Open Floor Teacher Training in 2019, Bence went on to serve as Assistant Faculty and Mentor on the following round of Teacher Training between 2022 and 2024. In 2024, he became the first of his generation to co-facilitate an Open Floor International (OFI) Core Program as Faculty, at the Ground Floor Lab in London. As a member of the OFI Board of Directors, Bence is also actively shaping the organization’s renewal as it moves into its second decade.
Known for curating captivating soundscapes, Bence invites participants to explore the intricate, multidimensional networks we navigate throughout life. His teaching style is described as fluid, organic, and deeply informed by his personal journey in embodied mindfulness practice.
Based in Berlin, Bence teaches internationally, both in person and online.
