DESCRIPTION

 “Rhythm is the universal mother tongue. It is the language of the soul.” Gabrielle Roth


Silent introspection (seated meditation) and movement awareness (5Rhythms®) are both practices that support unlocking the gateways of healing, celebration, and joy. Together, we will build an environment that cultivates peace, balance, and well-being. Through sweat and stillness, we will ride the rhythms of the mother tongue and turn the heart toward self-realization.


The 5Rhythms dance method is focused on presence versus performance. It is a place where movement becomes the metaphor for all of life. It teaches us how energy moves and where it gets stuck. The rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness help us to more skillfully understand and navigate the inner and outer landscapes of reality.


Trauma-sensitive mindfulness builds a container to hold both movement and stillness in a way that supports all that you are facing. This approach offers tools that allow you to both “work with” and “be with” what is present.


This workshop will include:


5Rhythms practice and theory (expect both gentle & vigorous movement)

Trauma-sensitive mindfulness practice and philosophy

Seated meditation

Walking meditation

Live music

Sound healing

Sharing circles

Please note: This work is trauma-informed. This group is not trauma-focused.
