I hold a monthly Open Floor session in Glasgow on a Saturday early evening. It’s a warm and friendly group of folk with mixed experience of movement and conscious dance practice.  

There are chairs to sit and move on during the session, so please feel welcome whatever your energy levels or mobility.

Dates 2023: 23 Sept, 14 Oct, November - day workshop instead (see below), 2 Dec.

Dates 2024: 27 Jan, 24 Feb, 23 Mar, 27 Apr, 25 May, 29 Jun.

Time: 6.00pm-7.30pm

Venue: Top floor studio, 72 Berkeley Street, G3 7DS (press buzzer marked STMTS). The front access has steps, there is ramp access to the rear of building and a lift, let me know in advance if you’d prefer the ramp access so I can make sure the rear door is open.

Sessions are offered by donation, most people give £10.

No need to book - any questions in advance please email me, and to receive reminders a week beforehand please subscribe to my email news and choose Glasgow sessions.

I’m organising a day workshop for my Open Floor teacher Deborah Lewin in Glasgow.

I warmly recommend her teaching (and music), in the words of another of her students, she is 'skillful, sensitive, respectful and compassionate'.  

The theme for the workshop is congruency. We'll be learning through our bodies to listen to our impulses to be honest and authentic, to move towards and away from aspects of our lives with integrity.

The workshop runs 10.30am-5.30pm at the 72 Berkeley Street studio.

Places are limited, for more information and booking see Deborah’s website here.

Can we surrender to movement and stillness? Yielding and releasing as we move through rest and motion, connecting deeply to our own bodies and our own dance.

A day workshop of movement, music, connection and deep rest.

Date: Sunday 21st January

Time: 10.30-4.30

Venue: Top floor studio, 72 Berkeley Street, Glasgow, G3 7DS.

Cost: £40 (£10 deposit to book)

For a deeper dive come on retreat - a week of movement practice, meditation and Buddhism - on the shores of Loch Voil in wild and beautiful Balquhidder Glen in central Scotland.
