INTENTION FRAME and INNER-OUTER DIVIDER

The intention frame defines the space of a Dance Floor and gives it power. The Inner-Outer Divider offers a clear choice point: whether to focus within ourselves or connect with the other person.
The Intention Frame
An intention frame is essential equipment to use with every Dance Floor.
Please find a beautiful one, or buy one here, along with an Inner-Outer Divider.
We find it most beautiful, meaningful and visible to use a pale purple satin ribbon, about 12.5 metres long and 25mm wide.
You could tie a few shorter ribbons together. Or use string or wool if need be.
The Inner-Outer Divider
The Inner-Outer Divider is a scarf that is used with the 4 'Dialogue Dances': 13 Steps, Integration & Connection, Fluency, Connect with Respect.
It is an awareness tool as it divides the Dance Floor space into 'inner - connecting with myself' and 'outer - connecting with the other person'.
You can use any scarf you have, or buy one here, along with the intention frame. We use a rainbow scarf.

ZAK enjoyed by children and adults

"Zak is an introduction to a whole new way of life, of cultivating awareness and tapping in to the powerful, creative inner self. It’s listening to silence with pleasure, and feeling empathy non-verbally. It encourages children to feel things for themselves and to be aware of their inner potentials, regardless of the assumptions and put-downs of others. It is a wholly healing book."
Margaret Harrison, author of ‘Angels on Roller Skates’.
"I have become an instant fan of this story, as it speaks to my own memories of how I experienced life as a child and teen. And also, in my opinion, it is filled to the brim with NVC without ever mentioning it! This, to me, is exquisite! Like 'Ninja-NVC' through story telling. I just love it."
Kathleen de Laet, NVC trainer, Belgium
