DESCRIPTION

Unified Field

5RHYTHMS WORKSHOP WITH ERIK IVERSEN (CANADA)

In the world, we often go through our days and our lives with our awareness focussed primarily

on our own separateness. Our minds are occupied by our individual responsibilities and ambitions; and our connection to our bodies is tenuous or inconsistent.

We rarely enjoy the feeling of being together with others; in a unified field within the flow of life.

In this workshop, our focus will be on exploring and learning how to feel and recognize the unified field of our own bodies, as we move and play within the unified field of a group.

Through conscious movement, we’ll discover new connections between the different parts of our bodies; and learn how to move as one dancing body.

Next, we’ll learn how to expand our awareness out to the group as a whole, without losing touch with ourselves. We’ll bridge the two using our breath and expanded proprioception, allowing our attention to flow seamlessly from ourselves, to the group, and back, in a loop.

When we loop in this way, while dancing together, we create a shared field of individual expression that naturally and easily becomes a playground for connection and creative collaboration. The feeling of the unified field is palpable, inspiring and deeply nourishing.

“Your soul is born out of the unity of your body, your heart, and your mind, and it is moved by the universal spirit. Therefore, if you want to connect to the unified field, the bigger picture, you have to become unified within your own field. When your body, heart, and mind are on the same wavelength, you act with integrity. And when they’re not you don’t. You betray yourself. You betray others. You betray your community. When your body, heart, and mind are not in alignment, when there are gaps between how you move, feel, and think, it leaves room for your ego to weasel in and create division and conflict in your inner world and discord and discontent in your outer world.”
