Open to all! Those without prior experience in SRT, OSF or traditional dance, as well as experienced practitioners are welcome. Now in its tenth year, this annual Seattle summer OSF workshop assembles a worldwide community for movement, creative practice and deep immersion, in a catalytic environment of colleagues with diverse experiences in teaching, healing, therapy, performance, theater, visual art, writing and organization-building.  Sessions are inclusive, welcoming and vitally useful for newcomers to the practice and experienced practitioners.

Deeply rooted in and fluidly expanded from Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), OSF involves shedding outer layers, accessing primal energy, agility navigating subconscious realms, imagery as potent tool for transformation, and developing a high degree of consciousness without self-consciousness. The practice celebrates diversity, collaboration and individual empowerment: free of inhibition, accessing intuition, inviting the mind to collaborate. OSF sessions offer potent tools to access freedom, specificity and courage in movement, vocal practice and creative practice. A key aspect is individual creative empowerment as an instigator of positive change on the planet.

This is an introductory workshop suitable for anyone, with advanced options for experienced practitioners and a healthy amount of improvisation. Drop-ins are limited to those with comprehensive experience of Introductory Level OSF or SRT.
