Dancing at the top of a mountain with a 360° view allows you to broaden your lens, see a little further & envision what’s calling to you. As you step into the dreamtime you'll travel into your imagination. Through the alchemy of your dance & movement you'll embody & enchant your desires so that they can become real.
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions," said Albert Einstein, who knew a little something about the profound significance of imagination in our lives and what a powerful creator it is.
Your imagination allows you to envision possibilities that do not yet exist and serves as a blueprint for creating the future. When you engage your imagination, you are essentially previewing the potential outcomes and experiences that may come to fruition. And when you DANCE them the magic becomes real as you shake out what's in your way and make space for what wants to come in. This is the predictable miracle everytime we put the 5Rhythms map in motion, and it's especially potent in a workshop container where we have multiple days to experience the power of this practice.
This is the wayfinding map of emergence which is essentially: see, feel, do, become. Unlike the kind of map that you study and follow, this map is one you learn to sense and feel.
The crucial element in learning about this map is the container for seeing & feeling which we often don’t allow ourselves to experience for so many reasons. Maybe you are afraid of enchantment or don’t know how to access the magic that happens when we engage our bodies in transformative ways. Maybe it feels scary to feel or even to move because you don’t know what will happen next. I promise you, once you engage your body's wisdom & begin embodying your desires, anything is possible.
In this residential workshop, when you're outside of your daily patterns and in the dreamtime, you can illuminate what your soul path wants you to know. We will listen to the guidance that comes from our bodies and the nature-based intelligence around us. Together we’ll discover what enchantment looks, feels and moves like as the circle we create together weaves its own kind of magic.
You will be guided by the wisdom of the 5Rhythms map, non-linear movement, nature inquiry and visioning.
Here's what a few of our participants said about the workshop last year:
"I just came back from a 4-day 5Rhythms retreat and man do I feel lighter and brighter! I highly recommend Julie full stop. She is a master teacher - she not only exudes the teachings and energy of 5Rhythms, but also interweaves many other transformational modalities - I learned so much as a facilitator being around her." ~ Nathan
"My experience in Julie’s Horizon workshop was so deeply healing and helped me to feel so connected! Julie so exquisitely guided us weaving in different modalities with the 5Rhythms, which helped me to deepen my experience and held the container with such authenticity. I emerged lighter and felt more aligned with my authentic self." ~ Serena
•You find yourself too busy with your daily responsibilities to tune in to your desires or dreams
•You’re curious about what it means to enter the “dreamtime” and would like to have an experience of it
•You're ready to emerge or initiate something new in your life and need a catalyst to do it
•You’re drawn to dance and movement but sometimes feel inhibited about your expression or ability to move on the outside the way you feel on the inside
•You’ve been dancing all your life and now you’d like to tap into that feeling of transcendence that happens now and then on a more consistent basis
•You really haven’t given yourself time or space to explore movement in a way that feels safe, creative and maybe even magic-making
•You want to be with a group of warm-hearted brave humans who are also curious about movement
Join Julie Stuart, a Human Design Manifestor & exquisitely skilled practioner of the art of emergence as we envision our desires and enchant them into being.
We’ll be dancing at the top of a mountain in the southern Appalachians, the world’s oldest mountains, on ancestral Cherokee land and weaving our explorations with the land and the sentient beings who live there.
This workshop is for people who are new to 5Rhythms or who have danced the practice for decades. We welcome people of all cultures, colors, creeds, all genders and sexualities, all sizes, abilities and life stages. You don’t need to feel strong or energetic to join us.
