As we move towards winter, returning to the flickering flames of our truth and innocence. As we dance, stripping away layers of complexity, confusion, drama, defenses, and weariness. Propelled by enchanting and pounding live music, we will move through Gabrielle Roth's Heartbeat maps, embodying our changing feelings and discovering our body's language to express the heart. Our capacity to inhabit our deep, loving selves grows as we plunge into this creative investigation.
Dancing into dust, protected by mountains, our days together will include a cleansing, healing fire ceremony, and creating a tiny innocence bundle to take home.
The Ego Show A 5Rhythms dance and ritual theater workshop with healing potential. Our ego characters are parts of us that tend to run the show. They once came on stage to protect us. We grow older and don’t need them so much any more, still, they keep finding their ways to appear. As we will probably never get totally rid of our ego characters we might as well give them a bit of air so they get less sticky and dominant. We can see these characters as members of an orchestra constantly asking for attention by playing the same repetitive solos. With a candle of attention we will dance into the cave of our psyche to bring light and find these parts of ourselves, feel how they move and notice what thoughts and emotions bring them onto the stage. Through this awareness we step into the centre of our being, our soul, where the conductor lives, directing all our different characters. “The ego reacts. The soul responds. The soul responds in innocence, love, serenity, truth, courage, detachment, sobriety and integrity.” Gabrielle Roth
