About this Event


Dance?

Non-dance?

Movement?

Stillness?


A physical meditation that peels back the layers of self to reveal your true essence. If you give in to the dance fully - expressing, releasing, allowing it to be a vehicle of metamorphosis - you will not be the same person on the other side.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Cost: free

Bring: water and an open mind

Wear: comfortable clothes to move and sweat in

Please no talking once you enter Madre.


When you arrive you can leave bags, shoes, jackets by the door. Being barefoot is highly encouraged.


I’ll have music playing. We’ll take a few minutes to ground into the moment, the space, and our bodies. Feel free to stretch, dance, roll around on the ground, do some yoga, look around the space, and adjust to your new settings.


Next I will offer a demonstration of the 5Rhythms ‘wave’ format of movement we will be following.

Then we will move for about 50 minutes, and close out with a brief circle.


GROUND RULES

No talking

No touching

No judgement


Hope is an action. I aim to offer a safe container to try on different ways of being.

DISCLAIMER

I’m not a certified 5Rhythms instructor. This offering will be based on my experience dancing 5Rhythms over the years, combined with other somatic practices I've found helpful on my own healing journey.
