DESCRIPTION

‘We’re constantly changing and any practice meant to serve our authenticity should reflect our fluid nature.’ Gabrielle Roth

This workshop is your invitation to plunge deeply through the waves into an exploration of fluidity in the body, and the embodiment of all that it means to be flowing, juicy, permeable, and soluble.

During this five day workshop we’ll explore ‘the big blue’ as our outer and internal landscapes, drawing on the 5Rhythms as our map for navigating the internal and external seas. From our watery beginnings in the vast oceans, we’ll track our movement development. From our soft internal pre-spinal jellyfish and cephalopod selves in the womb, through to the development of our bones, spine and the limbs that shape us, our thinking, and our movement as mammals.

This will be a nourishing, intimate and deeply explorative workshop. No dance experience is necessary - all welcome to join. This is a spiralling, experiential learning process, where you move at your own pace, where you can work on your own individual exploration as well as being an integral member of the group - co-creating our inquiry, and ultimately our body of knowledge.

NOTES

This will be the third year running for this 5 Day 5Rhythms Summer workshop and I’m continuing with the success of the format I have been developing and refining. The morning sessions are teaching sessions, introducing the somatic experiential exercises through the waves and opening up our exploration. The evening sessions are your invitation to process and shape your self-inquiry through ‘Sweat Your Prayers’ and more internal authentic movement sessions.

The siesta period in the middle of the day is your free time to rest and rejuvenate - and perhaps continue your research at the Brunswick Baths nearby!

The first ten to book will get a free one-to-one session. This is a great opportunity to finesse the embodiment of the rhythms, to work developmentally, and/or to find a way to bring the work from the dance floor into your life situations.

Refund Policy
