DESCRIPTION

ANIMATE: A 5Rhythms® Heartbeat Workshop; dancing with emotional forces

‘Hard times require furious dancing’ ~ Alice Walker.

Hard times—we know, but furious dancing… how does that move? How does that breathe?

In this workshop, we approach fear, anger, sadness, joy, and compassion not as states to be controlled, but as dynamic presences to dance with —as elements of a larger ecosystem that includes bodies, movements, space, music, community and cosmos.

What if emotions are living, relational forces that move through us, between us, and beyond us? What if emotions are animate, juicy, powerful, generative beings ? 

What if emotions are not personal dramas to endure but relational forces that guide us back into connection, creativity and community?

Together, as a circle, we will explore courage to stay fluid, acceptance for what cannot be changed, depth in our hearts carved by sadness, and spaciousness to celebrate. 

Let us be graciously, furiously ALIVE ! 

This workshop provides a unique opportunity to experience your dance through two different teachers. The practice does not aim at any aesthetic result, nor does it require any particular physical ability or experience. Only the intention to be present moment after moment and to give shape to the life that passes through us matters!
