A 5Rhythms® Heartbeat & Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness Retreat
With Lucia Horan (USA)
“Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close.” Francis Weller
Through the 5Rhythms ritual dance and trauma sensitive mindfulness, you will be guided through the terrain of the heart. This weekend retreat will be an opportunity to tend to the unattended. We invite you into a circle of safety to hold together what is too big to be held alone. Lucia has spent her life dedicated to understanding the nature of the heart. Her specialised work around grief-wellness is rooted in a lifetime of personal development and study. She comes to share this with you from a place of love as we invest in the path of liberation and compassion. We hope to see you there!
This workshop is designed for everyone, of every age and shape.
We recommend you have attended some 5Rhythms Waves classes prior to attendance. All workshop hours are prerequisites for the 5Rhythms® teacher training.
