5Rhythms® Residential Retreat
“5 RHYTHMS – ELEMENTS – EMOTIONS”
Waves and Heartbeat Level
Led by Silvija Tomčik
Rooted in the 5Rhythms’ embodiment practice.
Inspired by the elements’ wisdom and poetry.
Dancing with the heart’s vocabulary; our instinctive emotions.
On this workshop we will explore how are they all connected with each other: Rhythms, elements and emotions. Learning through experience. Moving through emotional constipation and mental confusion. Breathing through it all.
“The five rhythms are a map to everywhere you want to go, on all planes of consciousness –inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional, and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.”
Gabrielle Roth
“Silvija’s way of teaching? Strong and soft, passionate and gentle, wise and tactful, straight and humble, modern and ancient. She knows most of the places, you were. She’s a woman with all of the amazing dark and soft feminine energies, what can you seduce for the rhythms. She’s a mother who accepts you as you are. She is a warrior healer, who helps you facing with your shadows without a judgement, and helps to break through them. She is a teacher, who shows the path, but let you to be free. Dancing with her guiding, you can go to your edges safe. She is a midwife, who helps you to be born in your real self.” Zsuzsanna Kiss, 5Rhythms Teacher
The dance is an encounter. A human community.
“Our common thing.”
Honest because it requires real presence, uplifting because we listen to each other, comforting because we support each other. 5Rhythms is an informal dance that invites you to bring it to life, with your life. We play, we experiment, we set our desires in motion, we give space to our hopes. Dancing is about becoming alive. And in dancing together we become a living community.
Each year, One Tribe retreats provide an opportunity to dance together, to be together in an uplifting way. There are always new people to the dance and many have been coming back for years. In addition to the intensity of the dance floor, there is always time to be together outside the sessions, whether in the forest, on the banks of the Danube or in a pastry shop.
Here you can learn about 5Rhythms, about yourself through it, open your heart and mind to change and leave a new person, empowered. And you can get to know others, meet others like you, enrich your connections during these few days.
Gabrielle Roth’s movement map will be our guide on the retreat. This decades-old method provides a solid foundation and much inspiration in dance for all of us. The rhythm of chaos invites us to surrender to the unpredictable swirl of life, to throw ourselves into all that is simply good. As Gabrielle Roth, creator of 5Rhythm, puts it:
“Chaos can be wild and expressive or it can be a physically less demanding dance, a more internal process with shaking, vibration and releasing. Either way, the mind empties out of the head and into the body, awakening our intuition.”
No prior knowledge or dance experience is required, all are welcome.
