Writing Waves

 Creativity, imagination, artistry, ingenuity, inspiration~

Writing Waves is a one-day workshop combining dance and writing in the key of Lyrical on February 7, 2026, from 12-5pm.

Once upon a time, the Muses were goddesses who visited those who were both receptive and dligent to inspire them to create art forms including music, poetry, art, and dance. The human creator would receive a download, and would then have the sacred task of bringing it into being in the world.

In contemporary western culture, as individualism has become our operating system, we’ve switched from the idea of receiving the gifts of the universe to believing that we, personally and individually, are the source of our genius. 

In this workshop, we’ll invite the Muses, along with their inspiration-gifting cultural counterparts like Dralas, Asparas, Faeries, and Feitian. We’ll clear the channel to receive their gifts, and invite ego to soften its grip so that rather than serving our individual ego, we can be in service to creative life force.

We’ll invite the teacher of each of the 5Rhythms – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness – to guide us at different points during the day in both movement and in writing. Then, we’ll choose which of the five channels to tune ourselves to and allow the writing to unfold.

We’ll also have opportunities to share our writing, and will be invited to publish a final piece on the participant section of the NotesOnPractice.com website.

Maps to Ecstasy

Maps hold all the information that is required to lead us to where we want to go. What is your destination?

In times of turmoil and change Somatic Meditation can assist you in navigating your way out of resistance and into ecstasy. Through Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms movement practice and Mindfulness meditation, one may build a skill set that supports balance, ease and joy.

There is a science to achieving ecstatic states and this is the mastery I come to share. This workshop is designed for all who want to join in expanding the possibility of entering altered states in a natural way.

"I want to take you to a place of pure magic... It's the place athletes call the "zone". Buddhists call "satori" and ravers call "trance." I call it the Silver Desert. It's a place of pure light that holds the dark within it. It's a place of pure rhythm.” Gabrielle Roth
