Shadow led by Ajay Rajani
- A weekend workshop exploring the shadows’ map of the 5Rhythms.
The shadow is the part of us that we hide, the part that we're ashamed of, the part that we don't want anyone to see. But it's also the part of us that has the most power and potential.
Gabrielle Roth
In this weekend workshop, we dance the shadows map of the 5Rhythms. In Flowing, we meet our inertia and transform the resistance into fluid motion. In Staccato, we transform tension into clear action. In Chaos, we embrace uncertainty and overwhelm by practising our ability to let go and surrender. In Lyrical, we move from a spaced out, disconnected state into a connected and soulful place and in Stillness, we meet numbness and transform it into presence and aliveness.
Dancing the light and shadow reveals both sides of our true nature. Through practising the 5Rhythms we learn the shadow is not something to be feared or denied, but rather something to be embraced and understood. As Gabrielle Roth said,
“When we can embrace our shadow, we become whole."

WE ALL HAVE BODIES MADE FROM THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR UNIVERSE.
IN THIS WAY, THE ELEMENTS EXIST INSIDE OF US IN BOTH A REAL AND SYMBOLIC NATURE.
SO TOO DOES THE SHADOW...
WHAT IS IT TO FIND OUR GROUND WHEN FEELING STUCK?
OR AVOID BURNING UP FROM THE TENSION INSIDE OURSELVES?
CAN WE SIMPLY SWEAT OUR PRAYERS WITHOUT DROWNING IN THE CHATTER OF THE MIND?
MAY WE ALLOW THE SACRED NATURE OF BREATH WITHOUT ENDING UP IN THE CLOUDS?
CAN WE EXPAND INTO OUR TRUE SELF WITHOUT BEING OVERWHELMED AND NUMB?
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN ALL WE KNEW WAS EARTH, FIRE, WATER, AIR AND ETHER
NOW THE PULSE OF OUR WORLD HIDES UNDER THE SHADOW OF INERTIA, TENSION, CONFUSION, DISTRACTION AND NUMBNESS
JOIN ME AS WE EMBODY THE ELEMENTS AND SHINE A LIGHT ON OUR SHADOW
