OPEN SOURCE FORMS

WORKSHOP

We are here to heal (and expand and grow and experience pleasure). This workshop gives you some space for that.

I will guide you in a creative and somatic practice called Open Source Forms, which I became certified to teach in 2010.

The practice is open (there is *all* the permission to do the practice how it works for you), it’s a source-y (it is a resource you can receive a lot of inspiration from, and return to again & again), and the forms part is a gentle, supportive structure in which you can make the movement (and stillness!) choices that feel good to you.

I guide you through invitations to check in with your body, move (or not), and lie on the floor (or a bed or sofa). I offer movement suggestions and imagery that encourage releasing unnecessary tension, letting go of habitual patterns, and redistributing your energy. These sessions give your nervous system a break from your usual, making room for new possibilities.

This practice is accessible for people who have large-to-limited range of motion, an injury, a busy mind, fatigue, pain, and/or dreams and desires. You have agency and are trusted to relate with the material as is best for you.
