DESCRIPTION

Gabrielle Roth, the founder of the 5Rhythms® Practice, said "Once you awaken your intuition and get in the habit of listening to and acting on it, every decision in your life will become reflective of your inner truth. The trick is not to try to work out all the answers in your head. Rather take whatever information you need into your body, trust your gut, then dance or meditate or walk or do whatever you need to enter a relaxed state of being and you'll know what to do. You always have and you always will."

Shauna will guide you through the 5Rhythms® Wave of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. Through your own unique expression you will explore the different energies and teachings of each rhythm, as they reveal how 'energy moves in waves, waves move in patterns, and patterns move in rhythms - life is energy in motion'. You will experience how you can move with the energy that moves through you and your life.

Gina will guide you on paddleboards on the ocean where you can explore and experience Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness on the water. As you learn to respond to the energy of the water, it will inform you and create a sense of oneness. The ocean is a great source of healing and inspiration. During our time on the water whisper your desires to the ocean, and see what inspirational guidance it has to offer you.
