In 2001 I received Gabrielle Roth’s blessing to hold Sweat Your Prayers, and I have been holding steady ground and potent spaces for 5Rhythms ever since. Along the way I have had the great good fortune to work closely with gifted mentors and teachers, to dance deeply in Gabrielle's summer intensives (2000-2012), and to share this practice with communities in Canada, US, and Europe. In 2004-05 I trained to teach Waves, and then Heartbeat in 2014-15. As of 2024 I am accredited to teach Mirrors.
For me this practice is energy work, ancestral work, animist, developmental, capacity-building work. When we enter fully into our dance we can move, engage, and relate with forces within and beyond us. Practicing in community, through time, can support us to complete developmental tasks, discover our unique nature, and step into reciprocity and service. I use patience, humour, great music, and clear intention to create containers where the 5Rhythms can work their magic.
