Embodied into a family of passionate dancers and artisans, my journey on this earth began on Rose Monday (the highest carnival holiday in my area). They put a funny hat on my head & shoved me through the hallway, while outside colourful street-parades took part. I was born into art in motion.

I discovered my love of dance when I moved to a foreign city alone at the age of 19. What I first discovered was ballroom dance and I was taught by tournament dancers: What do I want to express, how do I bring it from the inside out? What is the message and essence of the particular dances? I loved to explore this.

I remember the moment Jewel burst into my vision. Liquid motion, raw passion, revolutionary leaps of consciousness held together in faded leotard. The bones of her story hung in space like skinny revelations whispered in quivering muscles. I witnessed her transformation from a girl to a woman,from a lover to mother, from student to teacher…

Growing up with Gabrielle, making music stood equally in our circle alongside making movement. When no song was long enough to deeply journey into the meditation, Gabrielle and Robert gathered musicians to create soundscapes to go deep into the rhythms, birthing Raven Recording, a new genre of music, and 20+ albums.

I don’t have the answers for you. I don’t know how long this wave will last. I don’t know what the world and our 5Rhythms world will look like in one week, one month, one year. I don’t know who among us will lose a loved one. A mother, a father, a husband, a wife, a child, a close friend, a co-worker, a community dancer. I don’t know who will have to find a new job, a new home, a new way of giving and receiving in society.
