Sands of Time Universal Hall, Ecovillage Findhorn
Open Floor Movement workshop with Deborah Lewin

Easing and loosening the fixed shapes of our story about ‘The Past’, ‘The Present’, ‘The Future’.
Our own past, our own present, our own future are these set in stone? How would it be to soften that which we think we know about them? Be it in the body, in the emotions, in the mind, or at the soul level, might we consciously loosen those places where we find fixed beliefs. Inviting the ease and fluidity of more spacious possibilities?

Times: Friday 7pm - 9pm, Saturday 10.30am - 5.30pm.
Price: Early Bird £85 before 12 Dec, Full Price £110 from 13 Dec.

Bare Bones: the essentials of physical embodiment 
Open Floor Movement Practice with Aileen Reid and Subhanaya

In deep winter the land and weather can feel unchanging. Our own dance - and our lives - can feel much the same. Week in, week out, the same patterns of life, the same patterns of movement. 

In this weekend in the depths of winter we’ll rekindle our love of being in movement and music — exploring the potential for generating new movement, finding fresh expression in the body, and maybe even surprising ourselves with new ways of loving life. 

Times: Saturday 10.30am-5.30pm, Sunday 10.30am-4.00pm

Location: Edinburgh Steiner School, 60 Spylaw Rd, Edinburgh EH10 5BR 

Cost: Early Bird price £145 until 31st Dec 2025. Full price £175 after 1st Jan 2026. £50 deposit secures your place.
