SLO MO FLO

…is a foundations-all-levels-we-begin-again-&-again class, let’s get those building blocks more like building blobs let’s blob #onlyblobs

… is a FLOOR-BASED dance practice. Some call it freestyle, some call it erotic dance, some call it sensual embodiment (I am all three some peoples), but *today* MOVING MEDITATION feels most accurate & I am TIRED of TRYING just kidding here comes more trying:

…is a practice of curiosity, of meeting your meat-sack & nervous system exactly where they are, of discovering a range of feeling & pleasure through connecting to the ground, breath, & (all six) senses

…is oriented around how movement feels, not how it looks (no mirrors, low lights) & oopsie-doopsie is also hot af 

…is a container for women & non-binary identities cool with sometimes being referred to as witchES & by sometimes I mean always because we are & we know it & please don’t hex me I’m fully hexed 

…is a doorway to deeper expression & vocabulary in more structured modalities: more floorwork for pole dancing, more pleasure for burlesque, more sensuality for heels, more flow for contemporary, more authenticity in the 5678 of it all

ADVANCED LEVEL, ALL FLOOR

WITCH FLO

…is a moving meditation dance practice designed for the advanced practitioner but what even does that mean ok let’s try this:

…is a FLOOR-BASED DANCE practice of curiosity, of meeting your meat-sack and nervous system exactly where they are, of discovering a range of feeling and pleasure through connecting to the ground, breath, and (all six) senses

…takes all the fundamentals (#buildingblobs) of SLO MO FLO and invites deeper connection through ritual, community, and the sacred space of the witness 

…includes opportunity for individual dancing & optional reflection from Lauren that is minimally the biggest hype session & maximally a portal to new worlds nbd

…explores weekly themes of movement & emotional presence, connecting dance to astrology, nature, the elements, community, and intuition - just a real f*ckin witch party I mean c’mon

…encourages deeper development of movement through different clothing options, song-tastings, props & bops

…is a container for women and non-binary babers

…is a doorway to deeper expression & vocabulary in more structured modalities: more floorwork for pole dancing, more pleasure for burlesque, more sensuality for heels, more flow for contemporary, more authenticity in the 5678 of it all 

…requires 1-1 consult with Lauren prior to class confirmation, for the safety & security of all practitioners in this beautifully vulnerable work

  • opening circle (land), movement (warm-up, explore vocab, taste playlist), dance & witness (optional individual practice with reflection), closing circle (ground)

  • Wear whatever you feel comfortable moving freely in, with the added invitation to intentionally adorn thyself in stirring layers to inspire the flow and unfurl, kneepads welcome to protect boney bits, no nudity to protect other bits (including class & community safety)

  • water bottle & yoga mat, open mind, anything else that encourages comfort for floor contact (fuzzy blanket, fuzzy socks, let’s get fuzzy)

WORKSHOPS

BODYPOEMS - SOLD OUT

a night of erotic dance & poetry with Joy Sullivan & Lauren Nagel 
Saturday, December 6 // 5-9pm - PDX

…Join Lauren Nagel and Joy Sullivan for a beginner-friendly night of poetry, play, and sensual movement. This 2- part workshop is structured as a writing workshop and moving meditation. 

The body is the source of endless wisdom, sovereign knowing and deep intuition. We view the erotic as our source of power. And from that place, we write and we move. 

First, we’ll write into our erotic essence—finding new language to name and awaken. We’ll write from the sovereign self—our life-force, our hunger-center, our magic deep. Through embodied craft techniques, you’ll leave with a written anthem that speaks to your singular sensual power. 

In our second session, we’ll move. Sensual embodiment is a mindfulness practice of using your senses to feel into the pleasure of your own body.

You’ll discover what language your body longs to speak—whether in arch, curve, roll, drape, crawl, or shake. You’ll find your flow and leave with a new vocabulary of movement. 

In between sessions, you’ll have time to connect, snack, and gather.
