Dancing is a form of expression, and we all have our relationship with it. Some of us can’t live without it, some of us like it occasionally and some will stay away from it no matter what.
Growing up we all danced. As kids most of us, had lots of freedom to be silly, preform or just play. But as we grow up, dance changes and becomes a social event. We dress up to go dance. Dance MUST be beautiful, charming, fashionable and of course sexy. For some it will be rebellious and wild, for some a way to avoid talking. For most of us, dance becomes a performance and fails to be an expression of freedom. Like with anything else in life. We hold on to what is comfortable and try to stay away of what feels unsafe.
So just when spring is knocking at the door, let’s try to imitate nature and let the “new” and “unsafe” find its way through the surface and sprout.
In those 2 days of 5rhythms, we will look for new shapes of moving. We will try to find within ourselves the seeds of what we never dared to express, water them softly, hold on to faith
and patience, waiting for the seeds to germinate.
Fall in LOVE with your IDIOT.
6-8 June 2025. Osho Afroz meditation center.
5rhythms is a dance meditation practice, that can lead us to explore uncharted parts of ourselves, through the body, and not through our mind.
Looking in for our own stories instead of looking out in the world with a pointing finger, finding more questions than answers.
Sometimes it surprises me how such a simple practice can have so much depth and bring about so many new realizations.
In this workshop we will take a close look at our shadow. We will look and find our inner IDIOT.
We all look for joy. Sometimes it becomes our habit, even an addiction to do only what brings us joy. We avoid mistakes, dodge failure, and pretend we are not clumsy or incompetent.
We avoid meeting our inner IDIOT and we all have one.
Often we blame this part of ourselves for anything unwanted or shameful that is happening in our lives. We wish this part of ourselves to be gone, to evaporate. We are scared of it’s influence on us and the shame it carries with it.
We hide this part, in many unique ways. We spend A LOT of energy, covering it, suppressing it or masking it. Perhaps we dread it will reappear suddenly and embarrass us. This is how we walk on this earth, as this is what we learned.
I would like to suggest that this IDIOT, of all our parts, is holding our joy captive.
This part, that awkward part, our own IDIOT is at heart: the silly part, the childish pure hearted part of us. This part is our true connection to Joy, beauty and simplicity.
The workshop is not physically difficult, but if you are not ready to sweat, it’s probably going to be a bit pushy for you.
We will dance for 3 days,6-8 of June 2025.
2 sessions each day: 0930 – 1330 and 1530 – 1830. With small breaks in most session.
This workshop has space for max 18 participants.
I have been teaching 5rhythms for 7 years now. I have led about 15 workshops and hundreds of classes in few countries. I had the idea for this workshop while I was doing my 5rhythms teacher training, 8 years ago, and I finally feel ready to teach it.
5rhythms is a dance practice that explores 5 distinct rhythms that have roots in the physical, emotional and energetic body. Dancing through them again and again to original music each time, will bring about new discoveries in all realms.
In Flowing we connect to our roots, finding place for our feet on this earth, feeling deeply into who we are.
Then in Staccato we can express with clarity, intention and passion what we ask for in this world.
In Chaos comes an invitation, to let all of it go. To stay centered while not knowing. If we use the invitation, we can lighten up in Lyrical to find expansion and ecstasy.
Stillness will bring about centering and healing through the vastness of the empty space of our own breath.
