Halifax - 15 Mar 2026 to 15 Mar 2026
Ben Deutsch

Held by the fluid creativity of dance and the clear structure of ritual, this is a day for those who want to commit to a deep exploration of their role in the larger network of life.

By inviting various animal and elemental spirits to dance with us (and through us), we will bring to the surface some of our own strengths and powers that we may have been avoiding or denying. We’ll have a specific intention to embody whatever power will most support us, and our communities, through whatever challenges lie immediately ahead.

What wisdom might we learn from a bear emerging from her long sleep; a snake silently stalking its prey; an octopus literally changing shape and size, to negotiate an ever-changing environment; a swallow, effortlessly finding its place in the shifting pattern of the flock; or the fierceness and fierce loyalty of the wolf?

And what might any of these creatures gain from a dance with the Strange Animal that is a human?

Music for the day will be provided by ritual drummer Jake Madhatter, and spoken guidance by 5Rhythms teacher Ben Deutsch. Both Jake and Ben have a deep interest in bringing breath and awareness to the places where different Worlds intersect:

The World of Humans and the World of Animals
The World of the Surface and the World of the Depths
The World of Sensing and the World of Dreaming
The World of Knowing and the World of Imagining
The World of the Individual and the World of the World.

“Dancing the 5Rhythms connects me to the ever-present yet invisible divine life force that moves us all. ”

“I teach as I would like to be taught: with sensitivity & integrity, quietly transmitting a deep understanding of the transformative power of this amazing practice”

““Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.” ― Osho, ”

“What a wonderful way to move through life! to dance, to pray, to sweat, to love, to savour every breath!”

“Each of the rhythms takes us on a journey, the body being the vehicle and the wave our map.....with these we can go anywhere”

“Bring your whole self to the dancefloor.”

““Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” ”

“'Your soul is born out of the unity of your body, your heart, your mind, and it is moved by universal spirit' (Gabrielle Roth, Connections, Jeremy Tarcher/Penguin, page 114)”

“ ”

“Dance until the dancer disappears and only the dance remains OSHO”
