My name is Stella Vranjic. I live in Sibenik, on the Adriatic coast, in Croatia. I'm Teacher in Training mentored by Ron Hagendoorn and Mirjam van Hasselt. The first time I danced the 5Rhythms®, I felt that I belonged, and that it was wonderful to be who I am. I felt that this was it. My way. The way I dance and make love with life. The 5Rhythms® practice taught me to love myself. To accept imperfections. And to realize how small and insignificant, influential and powerful I am at the same time. The 5Rhythms® practice gives me the passwords to enter the hidden parts of myself. The 5Rhythms® practice supported me when I had the most difficult days of deep sadness, and when I cried the biggest river of tears. It crushed my selfish ego and strengthened my healthy ego. It brought me to natural ecstasy. The practice in which I play a lot, laugh and feed the child inside me. A practice where most processes are spontaneous, and spontaneity has great value. It's a practice in which I nurture my spirituality and become one with creation. To use the 5Rhythms® practice is to choose a way of life in which you nurture your soul, body, mind, spirit and heart. This is achieved through the free expression of every segment of the human being. You are free to be who you are at any moment. And when you are who you are in acceptance, then you are present, then you create. Then every living atom in you and around you becomes art.
