In a world that often feels uncertain, the call to be brave is everywhere.
Bravery and fear live close together. When we meet what lies beneath our fears with awareness, movement, and support, something powerful begins to emerge.
In this 5Rhythms® Waves and Heartbeat movement | dance workshop we will explore the physical and emotional terrain of our brave.
Embodiment practices, a wooden sword ritual, and opportunities to speak and be witnessed will support us in exploring our voice, our strength, and our capacity
to meet life with courage.
Together we will experiment with expanding our tolerance and receptivity for bravery - discovering how the body can lead us through fear into clarity, power, and confidence.
When we brave together, we rise together.

Bettina Rothe and Anne Marie Hogya met in 2000 in Marin, California during a month-long immersion with 5Rhythms founder, Gabrielle Roth. It was the start of a deep friendship that has lasted decades. Both Bettina and Anne Marie studied and trained with Gabrielle and 5Rhythms faculty and are accredited to teach the physical (Waves) map of the 5Rhythms. Anne Marie is also accredited to teach the emotional (Heartbeat) 5Rhythms map. Leadership development and sharing tools for impact and empowerment are key components in both Betina’s and Anne Marie’s approach to healing and transformation. Both teachers have been offering their work worldwide for many years and have a wealth of knowledge to share.
