Connection

One of the qualities that I associate with the fifth rhythm (Stillness) is connection. Connection with our body, our heart, our mind, our soul and, through all that, a connection with something bigger than ourselves (spirit). Living from a deep connection with aspects from the essence of us gives more meaning to our existence. If we can bathe in this spring, the source, then we can be more inspired and whole. I already feel myself going into stillness at the prospect of being able to spend time with our deeper “anchoring” on this day.

In this series "My Life and My Heart", we explore in movement, alternately the Waves map rhythms: Attention (Flowing), Clarity (Staccato), Adventure (Chaos), Freedom (Lyrical), and Connection (Stillness), and the Heartbeat map emotions: Awake (Fear), Upright (Anger), Release (Sadness), Relief (Joy), and Embracing (Compassion). In each workshop we go deeper with one rhythm or emotion, whilst also moving through full waves. Nancy will teach the Heartbeat workshops, Edo the Waves workshops.

The Way of the Dancer - Immersion

THE WAY OF THE DANCER - IMMERSION (Antwerp, Belgium)

DATES: 29 Nov - 1 Dec 2024

TIMES: Friday evening, Saturday all day, Sunday all day

Immerse in movement and take a deep journey on the dancefloor. This workshop is an invitation to explore the essentials of movement practice with Christian and a group of other dancers.

GO DEEPER

Immersions are a way to dive deep into the dance. They give time to experiential study of movement practice. They give space to the natural creative and healing life processes that unfold on the dancefloor. And they ignite the possibility of surrendering to the pure, joyful experience of dancing for long periods of time!

We will work and play with the core movement maps of 5Rhythms and Movement Medicine. We will explore solo, together with others and as a group.

Day 1 we arrive, connect and go deeper into the practices. Day 2 we continue that and then go into Ceremony, dancing with and for the earth, the sky and all the beings that live in between.

The journey will include a simple invitation to help you prepare beforehand, and support for integration of the experience into everyday life afterwards.

All bodies welcome.
