Join us for a transformative 6 Week Series delving into the shadow map of the 5Rhythms: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. In this immersive experience, we will explore the hidden gifts embedded within each rhythm’s shadow—gifts often buried beneath patterns of tension, disconnection, and self-limiting beliefs.

In the 5Rhythms practice, each rhythm has a shadow side where we may feel stuck in our movement:

Flowing may become heavy with inertia or boredom, blocking our ease and connection to life’s flow.

Staccato can become tense, isolated, or rigid, holding back our authentic self-expression.

Chaos may spiral into confusion, carelessness, or self-doubt, blurring our access to intuitive, free-flowing energy.

Lyrical can feel spaced-out, phony, or overly light, causing us to drift from our embodied presence.

Stillness might feel numb, cold, or stuck, leaving us unable to tap into the mystery and depth of simply being.

Through movement, we’ll dive into these shadow aspects, allowing our bodies to bring unconscious patterns to the surface. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll explore how each shadow holds a precious gem for our journey, revealing possibilities for growth, healing, and playfulness.

Together, we’ll engage in practices designed to reconnect us with the wholeness that lies within each rhythm, reclaiming the disowned parts of ourselves and integrating them into our dance. This committed series invites you to discover the profound gifts that emerge when we fully embrace our shadows.

Sacred: A Journey to Reclaim the Sacred Dance Within

 Sacred Waves invites you into a profound experience to rediscover yourself as a sacred being through the ancient and primal language of dance.

In this immersive workshop, we honor the wisdom of our ancestors, who danced not only to connect but to heal, create, and celebrate life. Together, we’ll reclaim dance as a potent tool for personal and communal transformation.

Awakening – Reconnect to your primal self through the 5 foundational stages of movement. As we revisit our pre-verbal stages—rolling, creeping, crawling, standing, and walking—we awaken our instinctual body memory and open ourselves to the energy of new beginnings.

Flowing – Rooted in the support of the earth, we step into sacred space through grounded, rounded movements, feeling into the rhythm of our connection to the Great Mother and inviting flow into our bodies.

Staccato – Embrace your truth with sharp, clear movements, giving authentic expression to each layer of your being. In staccato, we celebrate the Sacred through the clarity of our voice and the wisdom of our hips.

Chaos – Surrender fully as we abandon the mind, release constraints, and let go of judgments, wounds, and burdens. In this freeing space, we dance faster than thought, allowing ourselves to move beyond reason and into the Sacred within.

Lyrical – Here, we relax into the dance, guided by the sweetness of self-compassion. This rhythm invites pure, effortless joy, allowing us to delight in our journey with ease and grace.

Stillness – Finally, we honor the sacred pauses, allowing answers to arise from within. In the quiet, we connect deeply to the eternal dance within our bodies, finding wisdom and guidance in the stillness.

Sacred Waves is more than a dance—it’s a reclamation of your sacred self. Join us to embody the rhythms that guide us all, in an experience that will leave you grounded, transformed, and in touch with the wisdom that only the dance can reveal.
