In this workshop, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the language of the body. Throughout our lives, we unconsciously develop habitual responses that shape our interactions, behaviors, and self-perceptions. Yet, these patterns can sometimes leave us feeling trapped, yearning for change and new possibilities. How can we break free from the confines of our familiar selves and embrace the unknown? The answer could be found through movement.
Movement serves as a profound and accessible gateway to exploring uncharted territories within ourselves. By welcoming new ways of moving, we open ourselves to a world of new potential. In this session, we'll engage in a movement practice designed to liberate us from habitual patterns and expand our range of physical and sensory experiences. Through the exploration of contraction and expansion, we'll discover new dimensions of ourselves beyond the confines of our everyday existence.
This practice is grounded in the Non-Linear Movement Method®, a body based-movement modality designed to increase sensory awareness, explore non-habitual movement patterns, and release tension. This modality, developed by psychologist Michaela Boehm, is informed by her clinical practice, decades teaching, and the body- and trauma-informed literature (such as that by Peter Levine, Gabrielle Roth and Bessel van der Kolk). Adjacent to this wealth of knowledge, Ocean's practice draws inspiration from a decade exploring her own body moving, including modalities like Feldenkrais and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as yoga, fitness and calisthenics.

Ocean has spent 10 years exploring the interaction between mind, body and psyche. More specifically she is fascinated by the role of play, movement, and curiosity in shaping our lived experiences, whether through our felt-sense or the stories we tell. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that “all is movement” and that all learning happens through the body in relationship with the world; and so long as we keep moving, movement is always possible. She holds a BSc in Psychology, with a specialisation in play in child development. She is trained in the Non-Linear Movement Method®, a body based-movement modality designed to increase sensory awareness and release habitual tension patterns. She also dabbles in researching psychotherapeutic techniques, nervous system regulation, and philosophy and practising acting, improv, yoga and relational practices. She's driven by the purpose of expanding her means of self-expression and in turn giving others permission to unfold theirs.
