Dancing with Ancestors is an immersive journey with Sylvie Minot, using movement, sound, and the 5Rhythms to explore often unconscious family/ancestral patterns, offering a way to shift and release them gently, potently. Through guided dance and ritual, you’ll connect with the wisdom of your lineage and open new pathways for healing and transformation. In this workshop, we will dance with our ancestry, which lives in our heart, soul, collective memory, and DNA. Calling on the wisdom and medicine of our lineage, the power of ancestral lands, and the spirit of the animal clans to guide our dance on this journey. We beckon our bloodlines, spirit animals, and sacred guides to help navigate a magical ancestral journey. If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people. - Thich Nhat Hanh Through dance, movement, voice/sound, and guided group exercises, Sylvie uses each of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms—flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness—to honor your past and create new pathways for healing. 5Rhythms is a simple meditative movement practice designed to release the dancer within every body, regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the dance itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression. All levels of fitness and agility are invited to participate. All are welcome, and no prior dance training or ability is required. You must be available for all three days of the workshop. An experience that transcends dance and delves into our connection to the past. ~~~ Dancing with Ancestors A 5Rhythms weekend led by Sylvie Minot Produced by Julie Stuart Location: CORE DANCE 133 Sycamore Street Decatur, Georgia Dates/Times: ♦ Friday 12/4: 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm ♦ Saturday 12/5: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm ♦ Sunday 12/6: 11:00 am - 4:00 pm Tuition: ♦ $295 early bird until Oct 30 ♦ $350 regular ♦ $280 5RTA ♦ $250 crew (with approval) Zelle (preferred): julie@makingideasvisible.com PayPal: julie@makingideasvisible.com Venmo: @juliestuart-workshops ~~~ Prerequisite: Three 5Rhythms® Waves classes are required prior to attendance.
