“Alchemy: def. concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold […] a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.”
The dream of alchemy is the dream of elevating the mundane and finding the precious sublime in what is common and everyday. Living our lives, keeping obligations and responsibilities, running routines, it is natural to want transformation, lightening, and the possibility of ascent.
Through 5Rhythms, we use dance and movement to dig into the present moment, to inhabit fully the everyday, and to allow grace, ease, lightness, and expansion to emerge, delight, and surprise us. In this one-day workshop we will discover an embodied alchemy through the 5Rhythms Wave (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness), following its wisdom to find the golden thread woven into the fabric of our lives.
The workshop is from 10am-5:30pm on Sunday with lunch served at 12:30pm and dinner at 6pm served to all participants.
Saturdays are open at the Abode as a rest and relaxation day before the workshop. If you want to come a day before the program or stay a day after you can book your room as you register with the Abode.
