Equilibrium: A 5Rhythms® Equinox Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton
This spacious season of darkness, of lengthening days and growing light cradles us in an essential restorative energy, a contemplative space of consciousness and presence. The coming season of spring brings an equilibrium between day and night, and time for stirring, germination and awakening for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Sap rises, heart rates quicken out of hibernation, birds return from warmer climates, filling the empty skies. Buds swell and shoots break the surface of the forest floor as the ground begins to thaw. We venture out of the warmth inside our homes, back into the outdoors, with practices that renew and refresh.
As we approach the vernal equinox, I invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in its endarkened and enlightened expression. This daylong journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the refreshing, creative, and exhilarating energy of renewal that spring can offer.

Embrace Body and Breath Through the 5Rhythms® Waves Workshop
Charlotte - 12 Apr 2026 to 12 Apr 2026Karen Chapman
In this workshop, we will take a deep dive into moving our body parts to activate any stuck energy that needs to be moved. The Maps of the 5Rhythms® created by Gabrielle Roth are our guides, our foundation, and the structure in which we move. The 5Rhythms® are: Flowing: inward and grounded in your feet, Staccato: outward, beat and shapes w/the body, Chaos: rearranging unpredictable feet, and releasing any stuck energy, Lyrical: transformation, being light and freedom, Stillness: integration, slowing down, the wise body!
The body doesn’t lie, it knows when you are injured, feeling pain, feeling joy, feeling excited, angry or sad. Moving our feet, hips, hands and head are all portals to opening our hearts and souls! In this workshop we will explore our movement as individuals, partnership and as a collective body of dancers. We will have a creative arts and writing process to deepen our experience in our time together. There is no experience necessary, I ask that you bring your humanness and curiosity of movement of the body!
About 5Rhythms®
Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide. 5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principles that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself.
“The fastest, cleanest, most joyful way to break out of your box is by dancing. I’m not talking about the stand-and-sway, I’m talking about dancing so deep, so hard, so full of the beat that you are nothing but the dance, and the beat, and the sweat, and the heat.” Gabrielle Roth
Venue: Ahlara International Spa, 155 Joe Knox Ave. Mooresville, NC 28117
Time: 10am- 4pm. Registration fee: $85
