Shadow led by Ajay Rajani
- A weekend workshop exploring the shadows’ map of the 5Rhythms.
The shadow is the part of us that we hide, the part that we're ashamed of, the part that we don't want anyone to see. But it's also the part of us that has the most power and potential.
Gabrielle Roth
In this weekend workshop, we dance the shadows map of the 5Rhythms. In Flowing, we meet our inertia and transform the resistance into fluid motion. In Staccato, we transform tension into clear action. In Chaos, we embrace uncertainty and overwhelm by practising our ability to let go and surrender. In Lyrical, we move from a spaced out, disconnected state into a connected and soulful place and in Stillness, we meet numbness and transform it into presence and aliveness.
Dancing the light and shadow reveals both sides of our true nature. Through practising the 5Rhythms we learn the shadow is not something to be feared or denied, but rather something to be embraced and understood. As Gabrielle Roth said,
“When we can embrace our shadow, we become whole."

REGISTER TODAY!In this workshop we're dancing with the element of fire. In 5Rhythms fire represents what we love, what we nurture and nourish in our lives: the hearth is a great image for this aspect of fire. And fire also represents a place of expression and release: we can give to the fire of our dance what no longer serves us. Traditionally we built fires at this time of the year to burn anything that we could not carry through the winter. And fires can be a focus for celebration and joy, a place where we gather to honour and take pleasure in our place in the world.
I am inviting all these aspects of fire into this workshop: Gentle and nourishing, wild and expressive, fun and celebratory.
We begin at 11am and finish at 5.30pm.
The price is a sliding scale based on what you can afford: £50/£40/£30.
We will pause for a shared lunch, and it would be great if we could bring food that reflects this theme: spicy, fiery, or orange/ red in colour. But as always, it is ok to bring what you need, and you don't have to share if you don't want to.
I'll bring a variety of herbal teas as well as caffeinated teas, milk and sweet treats.
