DESCRIPTION

Imagine entering a space where every movement, every breath and every smile makes you feel the infinite connection to all that is. At this year’s 5Rhythms Festival, we are not just celebrating ten years and dance — we are celebrating the pulsating network of life in which we are all anchored. Under the inspiring motto ‘All My Relations’, we invite you to discover the healing power of movement and feel like an integral part of a living universe.

In the rhythm of our movements, spaces of encounter open up — with ourselves, with others and with nature. Every step, every turn and every free movement tells stories: Stories of ancestors, of the elements, of the animals and plants that share this planet with us. When you dance, you enter into a dialogue with everything that lives. You realise that you are not alone, but a sparkling part of a large, infinite network.

The 5Rhythms are more than just a dance form — they are a meditation in motion. Here, the five rhythms (flowing, staccato, chaos, lyricism and stillness) flow into each other and reveal to us how diverse and multi-faceted life can be. In each of these rhythms lies an invitation to explore your own inner relationships. How does your inner water flow? When does your heart dance in a chaotic but liberating rhythm? Which lyrical moments open the door to deep connection?

‘All My Relations’ is a call to pause and be grateful — for the quiet voices of nature that surround us and for the relationships that shape us. In a world that is often characterised by a sense of separation, the 5Rhythms remind us that we are all connected. By dancing, we realise that healing and transformation begin in the recognition of this deep connection. Come and dance with us — feel the infinite magic that occurs when body, mind and spirit vibrate in harmony with all life. In this dance you will not only find yourself, but also all your relationships. Because ultimately we are all one — dancing, loving, alive.

Situated in the countryside, on the edge of the Alb, in a quiet and beautiful location, space is created for people to come together and dance. In Ruppertshofen, approx. 15 km from Schwäbisch Gmünd, we can once again dance through our inner spaces as a tribe and meet ourselves and others in the process.

This years Festival is guided by the experienced 5Rhythms Teachers Ron Hagendoorn (NL), Susanna Dobos (CH) and Anna Schricker (DE). The workshops counts as 2,5 days Waves level towards the 5Rhythms Teachers Training.
