5Rhythms Peninsula - Refuge in Rhythm

The moving body is our home, the dance floor a sanctuary. And through the practice of the 5Rhythms we touch the place of refuge within each of us. Our bodies are a reflection of our spirit and at the moving center of the body resides a place of calm and deep intuitive knowledge. Our dance is an inventory of compassion for others and ourselves. What are we offering, what speaks through us in the world? What do we carry with us?

Through the moving meditation of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms we explore this in free-form dance. The map of the rhythms: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness guides us through a process of self-reflection. To drop in and breathe freely is a refuge, a step into a different, less structured life.

The winter dark can be a time to take refuge and reflect, or to begin unfolding toward the light and warmth of spring. Together we will take refuge in dance, in community, in body, breath and sweat. Join us!
