About Ocean
I'm a somatic explorer, and I work at interface between what the body experiences and what we understand about ourselves. We were born as sensing creatures, skin filled with touch receptors, and nervous systems built to learn how to respond to the world.
I find it endlessly fascinating that this capacity, so fundamental to being alive, is so easy to lose touch with.
Our sense of possibility can narrow so quietly we don't notice it happening. What I've found, and keep finding, is that the body is where we can start to widen it again. In how we move, in what we feel, in what we allow ourselves to express and want and reach for. I'm dedicated to creating experiences where widening our sense of possibility becomes possible.
