In 2001 I received Gabrielle Roth’s blessing to offer weekly 5Rhythms practices ('Sweat Your Prayers'), and I have been holding steady ground and potent spaces for movement and process ever since. Along the way I have had the great good fortune to work closely with gifted mentors and teachers, to dance deeply in 10 of Gabrielle's summer intensives (2000-2012), and to share this practice with communities across Canada and overseas. In 2004-05 I trained to teach Waves, and then Heartbeat in 2014-15. As of 2024 I am accredited to teach Mirrors.
For me this practice is energy work, ancestral work, animist, developmental, capacity-building, practical Spirit work. When we enter fully into our dance we can move, engage, and relate with forces within and beyond us. Practicing in community, through time, can support us to complete developmental tasks, discover our unique nature, and step into maturity, reciprocity, and service. I use patience, humour, great music, and clear intention to create containers where the 5Rhythms can work their magic.
