We are extraordinary creatures, full of emotions, thoughts, creativity, movement, love, longing and sticky bits of mess…places where we get stuck with the free flow of being who we are.

Toxic shame is one of the places that leads us into disconnect – with ourselves, each other and our full place in the world around us. The shame that whispers, there’s something wrong with you – hide!

We will look at how shame can contract, harden and stagnate our life force, so our joy has no place to go and our compassion shuts down – these things happen, it’s part of being human.

Usually we try to hide when this happens to us – and shame comes along. We hide, we don’t trust that we will still be accepted and loved, we try to cover up when we get messy, shut down.
Conscious of negative behaviour, conscious of hiding and feeling stuck with it – we can feel shame.

Using Open Floor Movement Practice, enquiry, witnessing and reflection, we will explore the role of shame in our emotional landscapes.
We will invite the mover in us to open up to the flow of who we are, unravel some of the places we get stuck or hide in…
