DESCRIPTION
WHOLEHEARTED
Jan. 25th-27th 2019 (Fri 7pm-9pm, Sat 10.30-5.30, Sun 10.30-4.30). At The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8DG, UK - with Francis.
WHEN WE ACT IN A WAY THAT IS HALFHEARTED WE ARE SOWING THE SEEDS FOR ‘A LIFE HALF LIVED’.
MOST OF US ARE CONDITIONED INTO THINKING THAT WE SHOULD ONLY BE WHOLEHEARTED IN ACTIONS WHICH WE ENJOY, YET WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT MUCH OF LIFE IS NOT ABOUT HAVING FUN.
THE PROBLEM WITH ACTING HALFHEARTEDLY IS THAT WE ARE SOWING THE SEEDS FOR MISFORTUNE, WHICH PUTS US INTO A DOWNWARD CYCLE THAT ATTRACTS YET MORE MISERY. LUCK AND FORTUNE ARE NOT RANDOM OCCURRENCES - THEY ARE SEEDED FROM OUR COMMITMENT.
TRUE COMMITMENT IN 5RHYTHMS® IS NOT ABOUT FOLLOWING AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL VOICE, IT IS ABOUT SURRENDERING TO OUR DANCE JOURNEY AS IT TRULY IS IN EACH MOMENT. IT IS ABOUT OFFERING OUR BREATH & AWARENESS TO OUR MOVEMENT & REMAINING COMMITTED TO OUR JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION AND TRANSFORMATION EVEN THROUGH THE DISCOMFORTS.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHERE WE CHECK OUT FROM OUR LIVES INTO HALFHEARTEDNESS & THIS AWARENESS WILL PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR US TO DANCE OUR SELVES BACK INTO WHOLENESS.
IN A NOURISHING ENVIRONMENT WE WILL SUPPORT EACH OTHER TO MOVE THROUGH THE INTERNAL TERRITORIES WHERE OUR HEARTS WISH TO GROW, SO THAT WE CAN LEARN TO BE WHOLEHEARTED IN WHATEVER SITUATION THIS SACRED LIFE OFFERS US.
I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US FOR THIS SPECIAL JOURNEY.

WORKSHOP LEVEL DETAILS
In Heartbeat we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of being human. Old feelings that have been locked in our limbs or caged in our chest begin to shake loose. We get comfortable with feelings, neither hanging onto them nor pushing them away.
