Inner Peace through Stillness
Sat. May 18, 2024 
1pm - 7:30pm


Slowing down, connecting with spirit and breath, can lead to a sense of inner peace and contentment. It's a reminder that peace and stillness are always accessible within us, even amid the chaos of life. Stillness serves as a vital component for balancing our overall energy. Knowing when to slow down. If a race-car tries to go 100% around the curves, it’s going to crash. We too crash in different ways when we continue to push ourselves. Slowing down leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and a greater capacity for presence, self-acceptance, and inner peace while keeping our awareness of what's essential and needed.

The Holy Actor

Berkeley - 22 May 2024 to 26 May 2024
Andrew Holmes


The Holy Actor
A 5 Rhythms retreat 

“I have noticed a remarkable shift in me since the workshop: I am able to love myself, to give my attention unconditionally to others, and to lose myself easily. Such profound transformation”

“Letting the dance, each unfolding moment, all of everything flow through me: I’m so grateful to taste this true experience of being fully alive” 

“Wonderful, healing, joyful and loving!
The Holy Actor is the most extraordinary workshop I’ve ever been to”

Take some time for yourself: relax, breathe deep, and make space for your soul to soar. 

On this retreat we will create a supportive community for rich, healing work. Together we’ll dance the 5 Rhythms, explore the landscape of our hearts,  and improvise wordless theatre, offering ourselves to the universal stories that are waiting to be told. We'll open to connect more deeply to our creative, heartful self: not so much a solid, definite personality.. more a fluid range of possibility, full of life.

The Holy Actor is a joyful, challenging, and healing journey in search of inspired transformation. It’s a practice in possibility ~ being truly alive in each moment, willing to show up and respond, with courage and with curiosity, without needing to know how it will all turn out, trusting your instinct to take the next step.

It’s a practice in being human ~ in being alive, in meeting deeply. It’s a celebration of creativity, and the willingness to feel, and serve, and connect. It’s a practical course in freedom, and the infinite possibility of your soul. It’s serious fun, and sacred play, and about as good as it gets.

Will you join us?
