The Art of Choice
WHAT IF… I LET GO (part 2)

There are things in life we hold dear. People we love, memories we treasure, dreams and hopes we don’t want to lose.

And there are other things we hold on to: disappointments, expectations that haven’t been met, situations we wish had turned out differently. Sometimes even anger towards someone or something that has hurt us.

We hold on for many reasons. Because something matters to us. Because we want to protect it. Because we are afraid of losing it. Or because we wish things were different.

And very easily, holding on can turn into gripping. Without even noticing, we may become so attached to something that it begins to limit our freedom.

And there are good reasons for holding on. Our attachments are part of who we are. Our anger can give us strength. Even our grief speaks of what has mattered deeply in our lives.

What if letting go didn’t mean giving up what matters to us?

What if we could loosen our grip without losing our love, our convictions, or even our anger?

Perhaps the question isn’t whether we should hold on or let go, but whether we have some freedom in how we hold.

Can I remain committed without becoming rigid? Can I allow things to change without abandoning what matters to me? Can I stay with something difficult without being completely caught up in it?

And perhaps, sometimes, I don’t want to let go at all. That, too, is worth noticing.

In this Open Floor class, we’ll continue exploring the dance between holding on and letting go, opening the possibility of discovering different ways of responding to what life brings us.

Not to get rid of anything, but to become curious about the choices available to us.

What if I could hold on without being held captive by what I hold?

I’m looking forward to meet you, us on the floor

The Art of Choice
WHAT IF… I LET GO

We hold on to so many things in our daily lives, often without even noticing how tightly we’re holding. And perhaps that’s simply part of being human. We hold on because we care, because we want to do well, because we’re trying to find our way through life.

In a difficult conversation or a tense meeting, I may tell myself to relax, to stay calm. Yet my body tells another story. I’m holding my breath, my shoulders are tense, my belly is tight. My mind has decided to relax, but my body hasn’t followed. And that’s okay. Sometimes our bodies need a little more time than our minds. What if I choose to pay attention to how I’m holding myself together, and explore whether I can soften just a little?

Our days are filled with responsibilities and commitments. Many of them we’ve chosen freely, and we don’t necessarily want to give them up. They matter to us. Yet sometimes we carry them with so much effort that they begin to weigh heavily on us. What if I choose to loosen my grip just a little, without letting go of what really matters to me?

We want to do things well. We prepare, organise, pay attention to details, try to get everything right. There’s something beautiful in caring about what we do. And somewhere along the way, we may begin to tighten our grip, adding more effort, more control, more tension. What if I choose to experiment with doing things with a little less effort, and discover what might still be enough?

And sometimes life simply doesn’t unfold as we expected. Plans change, people react differently than we hoped, things don’t go our way. We may find ourselves holding on to how things should have been. After all, letting go of an expectation isn’t always easy, especially when something really matters to us. What if I choose to loosen my grip on my expectations, without having to abandon what I hoped for?

Perhaps letting go isn’t an all-or-nothing affair. Between holding tightly and letting go completely, there is a whole continuum of possibilities. We can hold a little more, a little less, soften, adjust, release just enough.

And perhaps this is where choice becomes possible: not in having to choose between holding on and letting go, but in discovering all the possibilities in between.

In our next Open Floor class, we’ll explore this continuum through movement, bringing our attention to the ways we hold tension in our bodies and experimenting with small movements of release. Not to correct ourselves or become better versions of who we are, but simply to discover what else might be possible.

The dance floor becomes our laboratory for the bigger dance of life.

This will be the first of two explorations of Release. In the second, we’ll turn our attention more towards the emotional dimension of letting go.

The Art of Choice
WHAT IF… I Pause

One thing finished, and we are already moving on to the next. A message arrives and we answer, something needs doing and we do it, an idea comes and we follow it. Life has its own momentum, and so do we.

And sometimes, in the midst of all this movement and doing, what if we gave ourselves a little space? A moment to pause. Not because anything is wrong, and not necessarily because we need to stop what we are doing, but simply to be with ourselves for a moment.

To breathe.
To feel.
To notice what is here.

A pause is not empty, nor does everything suddenly become still. The body keeps breathing, sensations keep moving, little ripples of what came before may still be travelling through us. We stop adding to the momentum for a moment — and listen.

And perhaps this is where Pause becomes a resource for choice. When we are carried by our own momentum, one impulse can lead straight into the next action. In the pause, we may notice the impulse without immediately following it. We can stay with it for a moment, perhaps let it pass. And sometimes, in that little space, another possibility appears.

What if we stayed long enough to notice?
What becomes possible in the pause?

This Saturday, we’ll explore Pause on the dance floor — moving, pausing, listening, waiting, and allowing the next movement to emerge.
And perhaps a pause is simply a little space we offer ourselves before moving on…

A little more to pause with…

Between stimulus
and response
there is a space.
And in that space
is our power
to choose our response.
In our response lies
our growth
and our freedom
– Victor Frankl

Lost

Stand still.
The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

WHAT IF…?
The Art of Choice

Imagine a world without choice.

A world in which there is only one way to go, one possible response, one thing to do next. Unfortunately, we don’t have to look very far to find places where people’s choices are restricted or taken away.

We cannot choose everything that happens to us. But within what is given, there may still be room for choice.

And we don’t always notice it.

We have our familiar ways of moving through life, our habits, our preferences, our automatic responses. Sometimes they serve us beautifully. Sometimes we keep doing what we know simply because… well, it’s what we know.

We tend to think of choosing as something that happens in our mind: we consider, weigh up, decide. But choice is also deeply embodied.

Our body knows how to pause before acting. It can move towards something or away from it. It can expand or contract, follow a direction or change it, stay with something or let it go. It can respond to what is happening now rather than simply repeat what it has done before.

And perhaps this is where choice begins: not necessarily with a big decision, but with the discovery that there is more than one possibility.

On the dance floor, we can practise this in the most immediate way. What if I pause? What if I take another direction? What if I do more — or less? What if I follow this impulse… or don’t?

There is nothing to get right. We explore, we notice, we try things out. And little by little, we may discover that our repertoire is larger than we thought.

Over the coming classes, WHAT IF…? – The Art of Choice will be our thread. Each dance will approach it from a different angle, exploring some of the resources our moving body already has to help us notice possibilities and choose.

Because sometimes freedom begins with something very small:

What if I could move differently?

This is where our exploration begins.

Here We Are…
…and here we are again.

I love the beginning of a new dance season. There is the joy of meeting familiar faces again, the curiosity of welcoming new ones, and that little sense of beginning that comes with a first class.

And of course, none of us is quite the same person who left the dance floor two months ago.

Summer has happened. Life has happened. We have travelled or stayed home, rested or worked, celebrated, worried, laughed, got tired, recovered, changed — or perhaps none of the above. Life leaves its traces. Sometimes visible ones. Sometimes we have absolutely no idea what has changed until we start moving.

Come as you are

One of the things I cherish about our dance practice is precisely this invitation to notice what is here, right now. Not what should be here. Not what I would prefer to be here. This body, this breath, this energy, this mood, this particular Saturday morning.

And then we can start moving from there.

Let’s see where our feet take us across the floor of this beautiful old church. Let’s allow the dance to grow, meet familiar dances and unfamiliar ones, and welcome each other just as we happen to be when we meet.

Perhaps that is enough for a new beginning: to arrive, to notice, to move — and to be curious about what happens next.

I am very much looking forward to seeing you there.

Here we are… Let’s dance

My Body Is My House…
How does my body respond?

This week, you chose the music.

A collection of very personal choices, reflecting our different tastes, stories and colours, woven together into one musical landscape.

This class is a celebration of music.
As each track begins, one simple question:

How does my body respond?
Where does this music touch me?
What part of my body comes alive?
And if I don’t like a piece of music… what will my dance be?
How does my body express resistance?
Can appreciation dance?
Can resistance dance?

Every piece of music invites a different conversation with our bodies.
Whether we love a piece of music or not, each one is the fruit of someone’s imagination, inspiration, dedication and work. Behind every melody is a human being who created something and offered it to the world.

Perhaps we don’t often stop to think about that.

This Saturday, let’s celebrate music, those who create it, and the many different ways our bodies respond to it.

Come and join us on a common floor and in a common dance!
Good music is going to support us in our explorations.

My Body Is My House…
The Wisdom of Enough

Sometimes a class begins long before I step onto the dance floor. This one began during the recent heatwave.

Like many of you, I noticed how my body responded to the intense temperatures. It slowed down. It asked for more pauses, more shade, more water… and less effort.

My first reaction was, of course, to negotiate with it. “Come on… you should still be able to do this.” But little by little, another question emerged:

What if the body isn’t giving up?
What if it is simply asking for a wiser way of moving?

That question stayed with me.

It also met another very familiar part of myself — the one that likes to be efficient, capable, sometimes even a little too determined.

For this exploration, I found myself drawn to the belly. To the quiet world of our organs. They never stop working, yet they never seem to hurry. They don’t strive or perform. They simply do what needs to be done, moment after moment, sustaining life with remarkable intelligence.
There is something I can learn from them.

Then my eyes rested on a mobile hanging in our home.
It doesn’t become limp or collapse. It remains beautifully structured, yet it no longer resists. Every element responds to the slightest movement, each one naturally finding its place in response to the gentlest breath of air.

I guess our bodies have known this wisdom all along.

What happens when we stop holding more than we need to?
Can movement become lighter without becoming smaller?
Can we move fully while using only the effort that is truly needed?

A tree doesn’t push its branches to grow faster.
A cat doesn’t spend energy it doesn’t need.
Water doesn’t force its way forward; it finds its way.
Perhaps we, too, can rediscover that wisdom.

I don’t know where this exploration will lead us.
I simply know that, right now, it feels like exactly the dance I need.
Perhaps it is one you need, too.

Come and join us on a common floor and in a common dance!

Center

Sometimes life chooses our theme for us.

For the past weeks, my back has been asking for a lot of attention. Pain has a curious way of pulling us away from our balance, our ease, sometimes even from that quiet sense of being at home in ourselves.

And yet, what I am re-discovering again and again is that Center is not something we need to invent when life becomes challenging.

It is already there.

Not as a fixed place where everything is perfect, but as a resource we can return to, again and again.

This makes Annette’s upcoming class on Center feel especially meaningful to me.

She writes:

“To come to center allows us to find a still point, from which to connect with the different dimensions of ourselves. In centering we can bring our attention to physical sensations and find alignment and balance. To know our center also means to know how to come back when we lose balance. Practicing to return again and again can teach us how to find rest in the eye of the storm that is our present.”

I find this deeply encouraging.

Perhaps being out of balance does not mean being lost.
Discomfort does not necessarily mean disconnection.
Even when the body feels challenged, something in us may still know the way back.

Annette will be holding this Saturday’s class, and I am deeply grateful to her for stepping in while I navigate my current back adventure. I cannot imagine a more fitting theme right now.

If you feel called to explore Center — not as an idea, but as a lived experience — come and dance with us. 💛

My Body Is My House…
Hands

“The hands know what the mind has yet to discover.”
Carl Jung

Our hands are rarely still.

They reach, hold, shape, carry, push, pull, touch.
They greet, they comfort, they build, they express.

Sometimes it seems that the hands speak their own language.
If you watch people carefully, you may notice how much of what we feel, think, or intend travels through the movement of the hands.
A small gesture can reveal excitement, hesitation, impatience, joy.

The hands often reveal the energy that is moving through us.

They can also influence it.

A small gesture of the hand can activate the whole body.
The arms follow, the shoulders respond, the spine organizes itself around that simple movement.

And the opposite is true as well.

The hands can become quiet.
They can soften, rest, and settle.
When the hands settle, something in the whole system often settles with them.

In this Bare Bones class we will bring our attention to the hands — not to perform with them, but to explore what they know.
How they activate movement.
How they allow movement to settle.
How they shape the rhythm and tone of the body.

As always in this series, we stay close to the physical experience: bones, joints, muscles, touch, sensation.
From there, movement unfolds — sometimes lively, sometimes calm, sometimes surprisingly playful.

Perhaps we will discover that the hands are not only instruments of action, but also companions in listening.

You are welcome, exactly as you are.

My Body Is My House…
The Meditation Cycle

“We do not ‘have’ a body; we are our body.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

This Saturday we return to a powerful practice that is very dear to me:
the Meditation Cycle.

Many of you already know this simple and profound structure — sitting, walking, moving — and the quiet rhythm it creates.

The body awareness we have been cultivating in our Bare Bones explorations becomes a quiet companion here, allowing this meditation cycle to be lived from the inside — through breath, weight, gravity, and sensation.

At the heart of this practice lies a small but powerful word: just.

Just sit.
Just walk.
Just move.

Nothing to achieve. Nothing to improve. Nothing to perform.

Simply sitting, sensing the body breathing.
Simply walking, feeling the ground meeting the feet.
Simply moving, allowing the body to respond to music and silence alike.

In Bare Bones we have been paying close attention to the physical body — bones, muscles, breath, gravity. Yet the body is never isolated. When we listen carefully to what is happening physically, other dimensions naturally begin to move as well: emotions, thoughts, inner states we might call spirit or presence.

The body becomes the doorway. And through that doorway, many aspects of our experience are quietly invited to appear.

And again and again, the practice brings us back to something very simple: this moment.
The breath that is happening now.
The body that is here now.
The step that touches the ground now.

We will repeat this cycle several times. Each return is an invitation to rediscover the ordinary gestures that shape our lives: sitting, walking, moving — the quiet architecture of our days.

Again and again we return to the body:
to bones meeting gravity,
to breath moving through space,
to movement arising from sensation.

Sometimes the most essential explorations are the simplest ones.

You are welcome, exactly as you are.
