Bare Bones: The Architecture of Embodiment

All knowledge / until it’s in the body / is still a rumour. — Anonymous

In a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves, this is an invitation to return to the living intelligence of the body. Through movement, awareness, and curiosity, we’ll explore the physical architecture of embodiment: the foundation upon which all emotional, cognitive, relational and spiritual experience rests. 

Over three days, we will re-member ourselves from the inside out. Open Floor practices teach us to include everything — the tense, the tired, the strong, and the shy — allowing each part of our experience to take its rightful place in motion. Held by this field of movement, familiar patterns begin to dissolve, giving way to what is spontaneous, fluid, and alive. 

Through the subtle play of weight, direction, and contact, we can discover how even the smallest shift can open new pathways for expression and connection. What begins as physical movement becomes a field of awakening — a remembering that embodiment itself is intelligence. 

Rooted in the essential structures of Open Floor practice, Bare Bones is an opportunity to place the extraordinary body at the center of experience — to inhabit life not as an idea, but as a lived, moving truth.
