Begin Again
An Open Floor Movement Workshop
for Healing and Renewal

Feb 22, 2026
10 am - 5 pm
Asheville, NC


Begin Again
is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reset — to step into this season with clarity, intention, and a softened, more spacious self.

Each year gives us experiences that shape us — in our bodies, hearts, and minds. Through Open Floor Movement, somatic practices, and mindful inquiry, we’ll explore the art of beginning again — not as a single moment, but as a rhythm, a practice, a way of meeting our lives. Every breath, every step, every honest pause becomes an opportunity to return, realign, and choose how we want to be.

This daylong workshop offers time to slow down and listen — not only to what’s calling us forward, but also to what may be in the way. Together, we’ll gently work with patterns, habits, and inner signals that influence how we begin again in each moment and at each threshold, allowing more choice, ease, and possibility to emerge.

During our time together, we’ll explore:
  • what helps us reset and re-orient when we feel stuck or overwhelmed
  • moving with, not against, the places where momentum gets blocked
  • deepening skills of self-regulation, resilience, and conscious choice
  • creating space for what’s ready to be released, so something new can take shape

New beginnings are always available — not only at the start of a year, but in any moment we notice ourselves and choose to begin again with care.

Pacing & structure:
We won’t be dancing full-out all day. I pace us carefully. The day includes movement, yes — but also writing, reflection, sharing, and other embodied practices. I’m tracking the energy in the room so we stay resourced, grounded, and connected — not exhausted by the end.

✨ Even if you joined this workshop last year, Begin Again evolves every time. Each year brings new themes, practices, and pathways into movement — and you arrive as someone new. There is always another chance to begin again.

No experience necessary — just bring yourself, your curiosity, and your willingness to explore.
All levels welcome. Ages 18+.

I always recommend travel insurance for out-of-town participants in the rare event of cancellation (we did have a hurricane one year!).

"Wow.......Wow. That's all I could say at the end of Stacey's workshop. I looked for more words and I could still find none. After I've returned home and settled again I can now say wow and...what an experience. Stacey's skill and expertise and obvious love for this work shone in every thing that was said and shared, and how it was held and guided. Such a sensitivity and deep understanding of this work and the human journey of healing  and embodiment. Lived experience was the biggest quality that touched me. Embodied guidance is what we received, and I came out deepened as a human being, more embodied and deeper connected to all that is me. I love this work. Deepest gratitude and I will surely see you again! ...Wow! Really.."
