Join us for a transformative 6-week journey through the 5Rhythms. Whether you're new to 5Rhythms or a seasoned practitioner, this series offers a dedicated space to connect with yourself and others, moving through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.
Each week, we'll dive into one of the rhythms, discovering how it manifests in our bodies and lives. Through guided movement, free dance, and reflective practices, you'll gain insight into your patterns, release what no longer serves you, and embrace the aliveness of the present moment.
About 5Rhythms®
The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness form ‘The Wave’, a simple movement meditation practice that encourages us to find our own dance of embodied feeling and to discover ourselves at our most fluid and creative level. The Rhythms are different ways of moving that are related to different ways of being in the world. As we practice them, we bring more of ourselves –body, heart, mind & soul- into movement, on the dance floor & out in the world. There are no steps to learn and it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, fitness, ability, or experience.
What to Expect:
• Week 1: Flowing - Surrender to the fluid, continuous, and grounded energy of Flowing, connecting with your breath and body.
• Week 2: Staccato - Find clarity and expression through the beat of Staccato, where boundaries, direction, and communication come to life.
• Week 3: Chaos - Let go and release into the wild, untamed energy of Chaos, allowing the dance to shake loose old patterns.
• Week 4: Lyrical - Soar into the lightness and freedom of Lyrical, where spontaneity and creativity take flight.
• Week 5: Stillness - Ground into the deep, meditative space of Stillness, where movement and breath merge into a quiet, reflective dance.
• Week 6: Integration - Weave together the threads of your journey, integrating the wisdom of the 5Rhythms into your everyday life.
This series is open to all levels, and no prior dance experience is necessary. Come as you are, ready to move, explore, and transform. Together, we'll create a supportive community where every body is welcome and every story is honored.
*This is a closed committed group. No drop in’s or one offs.
Dancing with the same group of people over time deepens connections, to self, other and the group. Building trust in a supportive environment to go deeper into the practice to seek the healing and transformation you are calling in.
The Holy Actor
A 5 Rhythms retreat
“I have noticed a remarkable shift in me since the workshop: I am able to love myself, to give my attention unconditionally to others, and to lose myself easily. Such profound transformation”
“Letting the dance, each unfolding moment, all of everything flow through me: I’m so grateful to taste this true experience of being fully alive”
“Wonderful, healing, joyful and loving!
The Holy Actor is the most extraordinary workshop I’ve ever been to”
Take some time for yourself: relax, breathe deep, and make space for your soul to soar.
Staying at a vintage New England retreat center on the Atlantic shore, we will create a supportive community for rich, healing work. Together we’ll dance the 5 Rhythms, explore the landscape of our hearts, and improvise wordless theatre, offering ourselves to the universal stories that are waiting to be told. We'll open to connect more deeply to our creative, heartful self: not so much a solid, definite personality.. more a fluid range of possibility, full of life.
The Holy Actor is a joyful, challenging, and healing journey in search of inspired transformation. It’s a practice in possibility ~ being truly alive in each moment, willing to show up and respond, with courage and with curiosity, without needing to know how it will all turn out, trusting your instinct to take the next step.
It’s a practice in being human ~ in being alive, in meeting deeply. It’s a celebration of creativity, and the willingness to feel, and serve, and connect. It’s a practical course in freedom, and the infinite possibility of your soul. It’s serious fun, and sacred play, and about as good as it gets.
