Movement practice of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms®
Led by Martina Motl, certified 5Rhythms® teacher
and Anže Bertoncelj, Family Constellations Facilitator
EAT, DANCE, PRAY – RESIDENTIAL RETREAT
What nurtures me?
Who will dance my dance if not me?
Hope is prayer, where do I want to direct it?
In this 3-day workshop, we will combine knowledge, love, wisdom and handed over the teachings of two recognized international methods, 5Rhythms method and Family Constellation method. In the latter, Anže will raise awareness of the unconscious patterns that shape our lives. We will recognize the relationships that benefits us and the relationships that limits us at our ancestors. We will pay tribute to them for everything we have received and become aware of who supports us on our path. With Martina, we will explore and dance maps of 5Rhythms method; we will look for fluidity in our patterns of movement, encourage expression, let go of what no longer serves us, find lightness and calm ourselves in mindful movement, and find our own path and our own flow independent of our family systems.
Accommodation is available in double, triple, and shared rooms. All meals will be provided, prepared from organic ingredients and thoughtfully prepared by our hosts.
Are you ready for an unforgettable experience? Contact us, we will be happy to answer your questions.

Feedback from participants of the last two »Eat, Dance, Pray« workshops:
»Eat, Dance, Pray has been one of the most profound and powerful workshops i have ever participated in.
Anže is deeply and genuinely connected to his work as a family constellator. He has the rare ability to perceive the entire field, to trust the natural unfolding of the process, and to intervene or adjust with precision only when it is truly needed. His level of presence and commitment is impeccable.
In combination with Martina's natural intuition in the field, and the depth of experience she brings from many years of deep emotional work, a truly safe, grounded, and spacious container is created – the kind of container where real magic can happen.
The integration of 5Rhythms as a way to release, embody, and let go of whatever emerged in the constellations is simply invaluable. Moment allows the work to land not only in the mind, but deeply in the body and nervous system.
An exceptional experience. If you feel the call, this is a workshop you should not miss.« Lil
“Dear Anže, dear Martina,
your workshop “Eat, Dance, Pray” was the best thing that happend to me.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Family Constellation changed my life (and my families life) completely. You did it in such a great way! My compliments!
I want to say thank you in as many ways as it is possible.
First that it was possible for me to join your workshop without speaking slovene.
The group: I felt so safe and sheltered the whole weekend. I felt them so close.
5Rhythms and Familiy Constellation is a great combination. I was surprised how patterns driven by old hurt don´t go away but healing doesn´t have a time limit.
I knew I was on a new path when I started with 5Rhythms a few years ago.
Now, after this weekend, I´m starting to feel trust, safety and peace in situations when I would normally feel tension, helplessness or stress.
I met 5Rhythms after a long period of different kinds of therapies (20 years with psychoanalisis, hypnotherapy, bioenergetics, osteopathy, Feldenkrais, MBSR, …). Of course it was a time of growth and healing. But I was not satisfied.
I believe that people can change when they are ready. I was ready to come to this workshop without sharing this with any friends. I had to do this alone, on my own. I can´t express all my feelings during the weekend and since that weekend. But I know: I am changed. You and your workshop helped me to embrace my change without any fear.
Thank you for supporting my transformation.
Sending love and a big hug to you.” S. Z.

Statement of the participants of the past summer workshops Soul Flight:
“The dance of life goes on and it feels really joyful and exciting! What I find good and helpful for my daily life and practice: the movement in stillness, expressing a deep wish, a vision, an intention… clear and simple movement, carried by the breath! A great reminder to integrate the breathing even more! Thank you, Martina, for your openness, your honesty and spontanity, your big heart! And dear Anže, i have been touched by your loving care for our group, your clarity, your gentleness, also when you were teaching! Beautiful energy! All together has been so enjoyable, with swimming in the ocean and with the great boat trip! And the lovely camping place with this wonderful view! I wish you both much joy and love and hope to dance with you again.” Hanna
“Martina is a powerful teacher and catalyst, and the week in Izola was truly transformative. The synergy of dance and embodied practices with creative and expressive artwork was particularly valuable. I loved the diversity of the group just as much as the location. The way Martina and her partner and co-teacher Anže facilitated the retreat and held space for individual and collective processes was both highly professional and compassionately heartfelt. Although I've been practicing various conscious dance forms for many years, I am once again surprised by the transformative power of 5Rhythms and the guidance of dedicated and passionate teachers.” Laya Commenda
