About this Event
As we bid farewell to Fall and welcome Winter, we gather together to light an inner spark, to warm ourselves, to tune in, and to co-create.
TWILIGHT is an invitation to explore how two potent movement practices come together to deepen our creative process:
Where pulsing rhythms meets fertile silence.
Where courageous expression meets inner listening.
Where personal process meets group holding.
Guided by the 5Rhythms® Waves Map and the practice of Authentic Movement, we’ll take a light into our inner terrain and open to what our creativity has to show us.
This one-day workshop will be capped at 30 participants to create a tight ensemble. No prior experience is necessary.
Come as you are.
Leave lit from within.

ABOUT 5RHYTHMS:
5Rhythms is a vibrant movement practice that uses dance as a dynamic process of self-discovery, moving through five distinct rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—to explore and transform physical, emotional, and energetic states.
ABOUT AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT:
Authentic Movement is a contemplative practice in which movers close their eyes and follow inner impulses, allowing movement to arise from deep bodily awareness rather than conscious control. Through attentive witnessing, it cultivates presence, trust in the body’s wisdom, and insight into the connection between inner and outer experience.
