New York

For 20+ years, the streets of New York City have been Gabrielle & Jonathan's laboratory, daily community, and the inspiration that is the 5Rhythms body of work and vision.


Our NYC teachers service the dynamic, diverse and dedicated tribe you could expect to make their way onto our dancefloors here. It provides a refuge of rhythm for those who are hungry to maintain a real self within the creative pulse, urban edge, and tribal soul of Manhattan. There is no more exciting place on earth, as it perfectly mirrors the complexity and challenges we face when we look within. Our NYC offerings of daily classes, short and long form workshops are available to dance you through all levels of the 5Rhythms every year.

The Path of the Wounded Healer

New York - 5 Apr 2024 to 7 Apr 2024
Lucia Horan

 The healing path has a trajectory. Gabrielle Roth called this, The Path of The

Wounded Healer. It is here that we look closely at our healing process. We

mark both where we are and where we want to be. We dance through the five

stages of healing in relationship to being the, victim, the survivor, the healer,

the transformer and eventually the one who rests in compassionate service.


In the Heartbeat Map, we investigate what is moving through the shores of the

heart. Through understanding the relationship of the emotional polarities we

come to respect and appreciate what we have been through. Without fear, we

do not experience courage. Without anger, there is no access to forgiveness.

Without love, we cannot experience grief. Without, loss we cannot experience

or appreciate the full spectrum of joy. Without all of these qualities, we cannot

know the true nature of compassion.


It is my belief that our sacred task in life, is to transform the most difficult

things we have been through, into our greatest strengths. These are the stories

of our resiliency, vulnerability and strength. It is here we expand the potential

to love and be loved.


You are invited to join this journey of movement and awareness, focused on

how emotions transform the heart. This map is Gabrielle Roth’s living wisdom.

I am here to pass this gift on to you to be carried in your own bones and blood.


Each session will be primarily focused on the 5Rhythms® moving meditation.

We will integrate each movement session with stillness meditation practices,

focused on the (brahma Vihārā) Buddhist Heart Practices; equanimity,

compassion, loving-kindness and joy.


In sitting meditation, we have the opportunity to observe the mind and body

at rest through silent introspection. In 5Rhythms, we engage in mindfulness

while in motion. The two polarities of moving and sitting meditation together

mirror the dance of life and support cultivation of well-being and balance.
