"FROM THE GROUND UP"

5RHYTHMS ® Easter Retreat

“FROM THE GROUND UP”

Waves and Heartbeat Level

led by Silvija Tomčik with Thierry Francois 

Pablo Neruda

The invitation is to give ourselves enough time to spend down on the floor, offering our weight to the earth, letting our feet guide us into our dance. 

Learning how to drop what we carry and let the ground hold us, nourish us, comfort us. Surrendering to the earth what holds us back, what holds us down, what keeps us separate. Resting in our inhale, rising on our exhale. It takes courage to feel that our being is enough. Coming back home to our own physical bodies more and more, we can start feeling more at home on this planet and extend loving attention and care from our own self love.

Rooted and centered we can soar, we can switch from me to we, from weight to weightless, from effort to effortless. We rise from the ground up, we dance from the feet up, we support and lift each other up, liberating our imagination, celebrating our maturity.

There will be a lot of dancing, singing (Kirtan and Sacred Cacao ritual), some tree planting, some creative expression and play. 

“Spring is the doorway through which everything begins again. While we are finally coming to the end of the darker days of Winter, the gifts from that time are carried within us, composted through our many little deaths, and the stillness that followed. By moving into the season of renewal, we honour what has passed and allow it to inform our becoming.”   Kristen Roderick

Dancing out of Trauma

 “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin


Each of us has had painful experiences.


Stressful or traumatic memories block the natural flow of life.

With the help of 5Rhythms dance, we bring the stories and body memories that come from within back into consciousness and into the dance.

With IBT - Integrative Body movement Trauma therapy, changes are stimulated and safely accompanied. This leads to a new lightness, which always shows itself when we encounter our true being. Methods: IBT, 5Rhythms, 5Rhythms Movement Therapy, stabilization and individual work in the group.

In “Dancing out of Trauma” is space for joy of life and humor are as well as the pain from of old wounds. To lift the pain like a treasure in the therapeutic process, and to transform it in the dance, releases strength and bound energy. Lightness and deep therapeutic work complement each other. Dancing out of Trauma is the practical implementation of the method IBT, the Integrative Body-Movement Traumatherapy.

Romana Tripolt has developed IBT as a therapeutic tool that combines the effects of the latest traumatherapeutic methods with the vital power of conscious dance. The medicine of the 5Rhythms unites with the power of the innovative trauma therapy.
