5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a workout for body and soul, and a map for awakening and embodying our creative capacity to meet all that life brings. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.
Dancing the 5Rhythms can be fun, meditative, transformative, and healing. We have the opportunity to step into a sandbox where we can play with different embodiment tools that support us to express a wider spectrum of our aliveness.
In this workshop we will explore the 5Rhythms through the metaphors, magic, and essential qualities of each of the elements. We will find Earth through Flowing, ignite Staccato through Fire, dive into Water’s Chaos, lighten up Lyrical through Air, and enter the spaciousness of Stillness through Ether.
“The 5Rhythms are a map to everywhere you want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional, and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.” - Gabrielle Roth
All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.
