Presence of Heart a 5Rhythms ® Heartbeat workshop Led by Laura Martin eagle

Within each of us dwells the beating heart playing out the rhythm of our lifetime. Traumas and dramas, joys and surprises~all the stories that we accumulated and those yet to be experienced. In this one day workshop, we will gently traverse the emotional map of the heart through a journey of rhythms. We will set aside our stories and find the medicine that comes with moving in the presence of our emotions. We will invite the teachers of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion to show us the way to be present in our own hearts. Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythm’s Heartbeat map will be the safe container that holds our emotional stew as we move toward the true nature of the heart. Be released, be held, be love.

“Dance is movement, is action, and like all action, it reveals us to ourselves in the

doing.”

In Heartbeat, we explore emotions as energy, as power, and as an essential part of being human. Old feelings long held in our limbs or caged in our chests begin to loosen and move. We learn to be with our feelings—neither clinging to them nor pushing them away—allowing them to flow through us with awareness and compassion.
