Solstice ~ A 5Rhythms Movement Ritual + Soundbath w/ Layah Jane and Kiko Pace
Advertisement
Let's move with the deepening darkness.
Let's listen for the body, breath, earth song that sings wisdom through winter dreams.
Let's call for the sun's return, to warm bones, spark hope, and illuminate our dancing prayers.
5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a workout for body and soul. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in, and move with what is alive in us.
All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.

LAYAH is a movement facilitator, dancer, mother, and musician. Layah first fell for 5Rhythms in her late teens and for the last 25+ years has steeped herself in movement meditation practice. Passionate about offering people sacred space to experience motion as medicine, Layah has facilitated expressive movement since 2003 for all ages on all kinds of dance floors. Her work is infused with expressive enthusiasm, a fascination with the weave of ritual and improvisational art, and a reverent love of creative practice as a transformational and political act. Layah is a member of the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association, and a certified 5Rhythms teacher accredited with the 5Rhythms Teachers Association. All study hours with Layah count as prerequisites towards future 5Rhythms teacher trainings.

KIKO creates portals for connection through deep listening, ritual, and restorative practices. She founded Kikospace, Toronto's first sound meditation studio and instrument shop, where she holds sound baths and practitioner trainings. Her roots in visual art inform the sonic space, which also holds sound installations and exhibitions. For over a decade she has studied music and sound alongside the alchemy of meditation, yoga, plant medicine, tarot, and therapeutic arts. She is certified in Emotionally Integrated Voice, Contemplative Psychotherapy (Nalanda Institute), and Deep Listening®. Kiko continues to deepen her learning through study and practice with elders and teachers, the primary teachers being Mother Nature and the deep listening within.
