“In order to understand the dance, one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness, one must dance.” - Rumi
This workshop is an invitation into the rhythm of stillness, a landscape of movement meditation. Stillness is the last rhythm in the Wave of the 5Rhythms® practice, in which we allow ourselves to be moved from deep within, in dialogue with the breath. Stillness is the integration and sacred alchemy of all the 5Rhythms. It teaches us to move from and with our breath into a vast ocean of awareness and presence.
Often in our lives we can lose our ground and busy ourselves into a “human doing” or “human overthinking” mode. The dance of stillness is an opportunity to cultivate a felt sense of human being and breathing. The stillness rhythm teaches us to trust in our own wisdom, in our capacity to be present for and hold with compassion our whole human experience. It is an accepting space that we can enter organically, after the other rhythms have released tension, brought us into embodied presence and emptied the body, heart, and mind.
This dance calls us to turn our curiosity into the space of being, exploring the formless form of stillness. We will move with and embody the invisible or the subtle layers in us, noticing what wants to unfold, to be felt, expressed and communicated. We allow the waves of movement of our body and emotions to rise and fall into the living mystery of now.
This workshop combines the Waves and Heartbeat levels of the 5Rhythms® practice. The Waves map will give you grounding and tools for exploring the many physical gateways into and expressions of stillness. The Heartbeat map invites you into experiencing and embodying the emotional flavours of stillness, and the ways compassion gives us space and freedom to feel and be all that we are.
“Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves. The healing comes for letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” - Pema Chodron
