Inquiry in Motion is a movement-based therapeutic practice for real life.
So many of us are carrying a lot these days—overwhelm, financial strain, uncertainty, the hum of too much. If that’s you, you’re not alone. Inquiry in Motion offers a sanctuary: a place to land in your body, reconnect with your inner resources, and remember your capacity to meet life as it is.
This is more than a dance class. It’s movement therapy rooted in Open Floor movement practice, Somatic Experiencing® principles, and embodied inquiry. We move, we play, we sweat, and yes—we have fun. But we also slow down, track sensation, and build skills that support regulation, presence, and resilience in everyday life.
Each class weaves together:
~ SE-informed awareness practices to support nervous system regulation and deepen self-attunement
~ Guided movement explorations that bring you beneath your stories and into conversation with your body’s innate intelligence
~ Creative, expressive dance to shake things loose, access vitality, and reconnect with joy
Mindful inquiry that supports insight, integration, and real-life application
And because we practice with a committed group, something powerful happens:
~ We build a safe and steady container together.
~ Trust grows, allowing deeper therapeutic exploration.
~ Community becomes part of the medicine.
We dance not to escape life, but to meet it more fully—one breath, one sensation, one honest moment at a time.
Through this work, you’ll develop tools you can carry into daily life: greater body awareness, emotional resilience, clearer boundaries, and the ability to come back to center when you’ve been pulled off course.
Inquiry in Motion is an invitation to move, feel, explore, and come home to yourself—held within a warm, grounded, and intentional community.
✨ All levels of experience welcome
✨ Open to all ages 18+
“WOW! Stacey's Open Floor Movement dance workshops are my favorite thing in life right now! She hosts a closed cohort that meets for 5 or 6 weeks at a time. Participants get to know one another through the language of dance, which creates intimacy, community, and a sense of safety that allows for a deeper degree of vulnerability. There's true healing here! Stacey also brings her depth of somatic knowledge into the curated workshops that feel to be a melding between somatic experiencing, yoga, and ceremony. Of all the conscious dance in Asheville, what Stacey has created is truly unique, special, intentional, and EXACTLY the space you want to be in if you desire movement for healing mind, body, and soul!” ~ Jessica R.
