Dance Alchemy
Welcome to Dance Alchemy, where Life is a Dance, with infinite possibilities... Waiting to be manifested.
Dance Alchemy merges Open Floor Movement Practice with the principles of Alchemy. Open Floor is Mindfulness in Motion: it brings Awareness and Acceptance to the 4 Dimensions of Embodiment ~ Physical, Emotional, Mental/Imaginal, and Spiritual ~ while relating to Self, Other, Community and Spirit. Alchemy is a Living Concept ~ that in the Right Container, with the Right Flame, our Darkness turns to Light, our metaphoric Lead converts to Gold.
Dance Alchemy
Founder of Open Floor Alchemy, I hold alchemical dance containers with music and movement around the Bay. My Sufi background and indigenous roots infuse the Cauldron. One-to-sessions can be done at the location of your choice, or online.
I look forward to catalyzing your greatest Potential!

Past Events and Workshops
Ahh, Love!
AHH, LOVE! ~ FRIDAY NIGHT DANCE ALCHEMY, FEBRUARY
Join our “Community of the Spirit” (Rumi/Barks) as we call in and dance the many flavors of Love. We gather post-Valentine's Day with whatever is moving our precious souls. Rooted in the Infinite Heart, we traverse the joyous and juicy, the friendly and familial, and the soft and tender. Alone and Together, moving and still, we invite all of Love's fragrances to fill the Space.
Attendance will be capped, facilitating an intimate yet diverse group. If you want to be assured a place, pre-registering via PayPal is recommended.
DANCING IN THE LIGHT ~ WINTER SOLSTICE OPEN FLOOR
Join us for our annual Winter Solstice dance, as we magnetize the growing light on the longest night of the year. Drawing from Soul Poets like David Whyte and Neruda, we'll "fish for fallen light." After our usual welcoming warmup, we'll move through Open Floor's Meditation Cycle, itself inspired by Osho's form. With a lighter touch of facilitation, we'll sit, walk and dance ~ Alone and Together, accompanied by the All.
Remembering Our Relations
AN OPEN FLOOR HUMAN HUNGERS SERIES
"YOU RECLAIM YOUR POWER BY LOVING WHAT YOU WERE ONCE TAUGHT TO HATE."
~ Bryant H. McGill ~
Over time, words central to our Being have been usurped, disconnecting us from Sources of Power: personal, communal, and transpersonal. In this Winter Series that bursts into Spring, we use Open Floor's elegant Human Hungers framework to re-claim and re-member our relational needs: for Solitude, 1:1 Connection, Belonging to Community, and connection to Spirit. Together we build an evolutionary bonfire to burn away outgrown beliefs and rise Empowered from the ashes.
