Movement as a path toward wholeness
I am a certified Open Floor teacher of conscious dance and movement; I integrate this method into trainings, workshops, and group work as support for the learning and regulation process.
The body is our home. A place where we live, through which we feel and connect – both with ourselves and with others. Yet, many of us gradually lose contact with our body due to busyness, stress, trauma, or prolonged living “in our head.”
Open Floor conscious movement and dance practice provides a space for reconnecting with the body – a place of safety, resources, and authenticity. In it, movement is not choreography. It is a tool for exploration, regulation, integration, and connection – both on the dance floor and beyond.
Open Floor is an experiential practice of conscious movement and dance that combines the art of movement, psychological knowledge, and principles of somatic awareness.
This practice teaches us how to move within the body, emotions, thoughts, and relationships – with greater awareness, flexibility, and capacity for presence.
In Open Floor there is no “correct” movement. Every movement – small or large, gentle or strong – becomes a way to explore the inner and outer spaces of our experience.
Through the practice, we learn to:
Body anchors are resources we return to when we need stability.
For example:
using the space around you for clarity.
Anchors help us stay present and connected, even when the intensity is high.
Practice of conscious movement develops resilience, flexibility, and authentic expression.By learning to listen to the body, we more easily make decisions from a place of clarity and connection, rather than from automatic reactions.
At the heart of the Open Floor practice are Core Movement Resources – skills that teach us how to move through the body, emotions, and life with more awareness and flexibility:
Ove vještine ne ostaju samo na plesnom podiju – one postaju alati za svakodnevni život.
Every Open Floor session is unique. The facilitator creates a safe space, and participants explore their own movement at a pace that suits them. There is no choreography or expectation, only space for exploration and connection. Movement can be quiet or powerful. Every movement carries information.
Open Floor is for those who want to:
No prior experience is necessary. Only openness to exploration.
Open Floor reminds us that we can always return to ourselves. That the body can be our ally. That movement can become a bridge to stability, clarity, and freedom – not only on the dance floor, but in life.

The first workshop as an invitation to slip from the world to the body. There is no rush, no expectation, no need to immediately “give”. Through the power of simple movement and deeper activation of the center, we explore what we bring with us and what we no longer need to carry. We work in pairs, in dyads, in silence and in touch. From the inside out. This is a place where you don't have to be good. You're real because you're feel what it means to rest in your own body without tasks, without performance.
After arrival, descend deeper. This afternoon workshop calls for consent to be difficult, to be received by the earth, to be supported by the body. We use breath and gravity as allies. Through floor work, deeper physical pressure, and small waves of release we learn how to empty ourselves to recharge. Eventually we form pods & # 8211; small trust groups that follow us through the entire intensive. The earth does not ask us to ascend. It is enough to descend and regulate through the breath and weight of the body so that you no longer seek stability from the outside, but really feel it within yourself.
In this workshop we lay down the layers, not as an act of courage, but as a return to what was never complex. Through precisely guided physical therapy work, we come into contact with unconscious identifications that guide us like autopilot: I am the one who cares, the one who gives, the one who has to be strong.we use psychodynamic structures, working with testimony, release and regulation, to unravel what we have learned from within to call “I”. Through the body, you become more present for what you should not have shown, and you discover the unconscious roles that hold you in effort and guilt, without having to change. This isn't breaking up with yourself. This is a memory of yourself before all the roles.
This Central Workshop opens a space for contemplation, expansion and integration, not through the mind, but through breath, movement and emptiness. By combining guided meditation, conscious breath and authentic dance, Griet leads us into a state that is neither introspective nor expressive, but pervasive. We learn to listen to the body when we don't make it talk. Breath comes in where words don't know. Movement does not come from an idea, but from silence. This is where real transpersonal psychotherapy happens: the moment when your body becomes the forest, the bird, the wind and all that together becomes you. You're entering a state of deep connection that can't be done by technique but happens when the body lets go of control. There is nothing missing in this silence.
What if the contact doesn't require effort? This workshop restores the interpersonal dimension of the body in its most basic form: play, curiosity and human touch without an agenda. Through spontaneous interactions, contact play, and emotional group regulation, we learn what it means to be seen not because we are special, but because we are available. Lower intensity, more lightness. A space for laughter, touch, eyes that do not seek already offer presence. We use insights from Affective Neuroscience (play, care, seeking) to awaken our gentlest, most played selves. We will experience closeness without effort and drama and learn how contact can feed rather than exhaust. Intimacy doesn't start with pain. It starts in simple: Hey, here I am. You?
There's a place in us that doesn't try to be interesting. He doesn't hide from shame. It's a place that just is. This workshop explores the fine transitions between visibility and retraction. We don't need to be silent, we don't need to be silent. And without ever having to be “someone”. Through carefully structured movements, small rituals of discovery and hiding, we play with the space in between: what happens when you see me? What if you don't know who I am? Can I stand the tenderness of attention without having to prove myself? We push the boundaries between in and out, our own rhythm and common space, and let ourselves be seen exactly where we don't think we have anything to show. We will explore how being seen without noise and calm without avoiding which changes the way you appear in the world. This is not a workshop of expression, but of permission. And that changes everything.
There is a freshness in the ordinary, a space in which nothing has to be proved. This is a place where freedom is not a goal, but a natural sequence of our being. In this workshop we explore how to retain the presence and tenderness we found in intensity as we walk through our days, obligations and demands. Through gentle movements, guided constellations and silent rituals of integration, we find our own paths of maintaining freedom in simplicity. What happens when commonality becomes our ally? How do you stay present in the silence and noise of the world? Can we go through the day with a consciousness that does not seek specialness, but accepts reality as a path to deeper authenticity? This is not an ending, but a gentle beginning. A journey from the space of intensity to the natural rhythm of life.
