DESCRIPTION

THE POWER OF BEING
5Rhythms closed group with Julia Mercurio

To navigate our lives trough an increasingly complex and chaotic world, we need a solid connection to our physical bodies, our most basic human nature.

"The first creative task is to free the body to experience the power of being. Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. The body is where the dancing path to wholeness must begin. Only when you truly inhabit your body you can begin the healing journey." - Gabrielle Roth

In this 6 week series, we will move our way through the maps of the 5Rhythms practice and take active steps towards re-connecting to our physical body. We will explore the gifts that the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness hold for our wellbeing. We will seek for gateways to more groundedness, clarity, release, inspiration and serenity in our daily lives.

A closed group - with a committed group of dancers - offers you the opportunity to dive deeper than in a regular class. You will have plenty of time for your own dance, as well as building connections to others.

This group might be right for you if you...
-  are looking for gateways to embodiment
-  have fallen in love with the dancing path
-  yearn for a wholesome connection to yourself
- long to be in the company of others
- want to deepen your movement practice
- are on a journey of healing

About the teacher
Julia Mercurio is is a certified 5Rhythms teacher with over 12 years of dancing experience. She has trained with Gabrielle Roth’s son Jonathan Horan, head of 5Rhythms Global in New York. With sensitivity and well chosen music, Julia creates space to free the body and explore the deeper layers of the soul. She holds a Masters of Art in Intercultural communication, and has trained in different somatic practices, including CoreSoma. The space she holds offers a journey through different energies - from nourishing, to focussed, over ecstatic to playful and sacred. A core theme of her teaching is how to truly fall in love with ourselves and how to use embodiment as a natural resource for healing.

„Julia’s guidance is gentle and inspiring. It feels like a safe space to explore my own movement and the connection to others. I love her colorful and well composed music sets.“ - Balazs, class participant

„Thank you for this wonderful workshop. You created a safe and intimate space to allow us to experience our unfolding.“ - Dora, workshop participant

What to wear / What to bring
Wear comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, most recommended are several layers, which you can take on/ off easily (keep in mind: you might sweat, you might need an extra layer at the end). We dance barefoot or with soft sole dancing shoes. Please bring water for staying hydrated (in a non-breakable bottle). You might want to bring a notebook, if you like to write down your thoughts after class.

No previous dancing experience required. Open for anyone who wants to move in the practice of the 5Rhythms and is curious to explore conscious dance and somatic movement meditation. Beginners and experienced dancers welcome.

Julia is an accredited member of the 5Rhythms Teacher's Association (5RTA) and all her classes count as prerequisite hours towards the teacher training.
