Deep Waves is a high-spirited dancing dive into the medicine of the 5Rhythms. We gather for an evening of music, movement, embodied ceremony, and community connection.
Danced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a dynamic freestyle movement practice. Dancing Wave upon Wave of the 5Rhythms, we practice the art of being fully alive in the present moment, to all that moves through us. Come dive into your own deep dance, with a circle of other dancing seekers of the sacred. Come reSource, come release, come ride the Wave!
All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.
*In honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day, 50% of the net proceeds of September's Deep Waves will go towards the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS) - an organization that provides essential services to residential school survivors and families experiencing intergenerational trauma.*
