Going out into a forest or on a wide open meadow and walking, recharging ourselves, having a dance there is beautiful. However, the bottom of a lake, the middle of a desert, or the North Pole are also parts of nature, yet we could not survive at these places “naturally”. It is also hard to see nature in the digitised concrete jungle we live in; still, if we remember that it is this one animal species–Homo sapiens–that extracts the resources from somewhere in nature to build this all up, a shift in our perception of nature and in our relationship to it could come about. And we are in deep need of this shift in order to heal on an individual, social, and planetary level.

With this class series I am aiming to dissolve two common, deeply rooted illusions in us we are brought up with: firstly, that here is us, and there is “nature” outside somewhere; secondly, that this nature out there is inherently good. I believe it is just as it is. Like us, just as we are.

I invite us to come home to the piece of nature that is always with us: our bodies. Let’s use the embodied resources offered by the Open Floor movement practice to include all of our parts into our awareness on the dance floor, and dance after dance into our everyday life experience; accepting and getting curious about our thoughts, emotions, and body parts that we would rather get rid of.

Let’s dance back to nature, our nature, together.
