Embodied Practice and Professional Development
This is a space to deepen your embodied practice and bring movement into your work.
For coaches, therapists, facilitators, educators, and leaders who want to develop how they work with people through the body.
A space to deepen your own embodied capacity and to integrate our open source curriculum into the way you already work.
We know from experience that some of you will join us for the sheer pleasure of diving deeper into the Open Floor curriculum and experience, enabling it to support you more and more on your personal journey.
This is for you if :
● You want to dive deeper into the Open Floor practice and have the opportunity to learn new ways to weave in the Open Floor resources into your life, so that you can thrive.
● You know the body is a doorway that will expand your professional possibilities and you are not sure how to include embodiment in a safe and effective way.
● There comes a point in practice where your work is asking so much of you that you are not sure it’s sustainable. You would love to be more resourced as you hold space for others and when you go back to your personal life.
● You have begun to notice: The way you have been working is challenged by what you are being asked to hold. You have developed skills. You have built understanding. And still, something is asking for a deeper layer.

FAQS
What are immersions
A series of deeply experiential trainings designed to develop your capacity to work through the body.
Each immersion focuses on 2 to 3 Open Floor Movement Resources, such as Ground, Expand and Contract or Release and foregrounds a dimension of embodiment (physical, emotional etc.)
A place to practise listening in a different way. Not only through words or cognition but through movement, sensation, and embodied awareness.
Through Open Floor’s approach, you will develop the capacity to:
● Track what is happening in yourself and others, moment to moment
● Work with emotional, relational, and systemic dynamics through the body
● Stay present with intensity without needing to fix, rush, or bypass
● Recognise what is emerging beneath the surface and respond to it
● Integrate movement as a resource within your existing professional work
This is a training in presence.
In practice.
What makes this different from the teacher training
These immersions are not a certification pathway.
They are not designed to train you to teach Open Floor.
They are designed to support you to:
● Deepen your own embodied experience
● Expand your capacity to work with others
● Integrate movement into your current modality or profession
The Open Floor curriculum is shared as a resource. You are free to apply what you learn within your existing work as a:
● Coach
● Therapist
● Facilitator
● Educator
● Leader
You are learning how to work more fully with what is present.
Who this is for
This is for you if :
- You know the body is a doorway that will expand your professional possibilities and you are not sure how to include embodiment in a safe and effective way.
- There comes a point in practice where your work is asking so much of you that you are not sure it’s sustainable. You would love to be more resourced as you hold space for others and when you go back to your personal life.
- You have begun to notice: The way you have been working is challenged by what you are being asked to hold. You have developed skills. You have built understanding. And still, something is asking for a deeper layer.
- You want to dive deeper into the Open Floor practice and have the opportunity to learn new ways to weave in the Open Floor resources into your life, so that you can thrive.
What changes through this work
Over time, something begins to reorganise.
Not just what you know but how you are in your work.
You become:
● More resourced in yourself
● More able to stay present with complexity
● More precise in how you listen and respond
● More connected to the intelligence of your body
Participants often describe:
● A deepening trust in their intuition
● Greater capacity to hold individuals and groups
● Access to movement where words are not enough
● A sense of being met while learning to meet others at that depth
How the immersions work
Each immersion is a standalone experience with a specific theme or focus.
You can join:
● A single immersion
● Several immersions
● Or the full series
Each immersion includes:
● Experiential learning
● Guided movement practice
● Integration into professional context
● Group process and reflection
Approximately 20 to 25 participants per immersion.
You will be part of a wider learning field alongside Teacher Training participants, while following your own pathway.
This is both personal and professional
Your development as a practitioner and your development as a human being are not separate here.
As your capacity deepens, so does your work.

The Heart of Our Pricing: A Commitment to Economic Justice
The pricing structure of the Open Floor Immersion Series aligns with our core value of inclusivity. We recognize that there are significant differences among our participants—geographically, in social status, and in access to privilege. By offering flexible and inclusive price options, we aim to embody economic justice and ensure the dance floor remains open to all.
