Join Syzygy Dance Project founder, Sylvie Minot and co-founder Wendy Heffner on Maui in 2023 for a very special Medicine Circle island-style!
Medicine Circle is a powerful weaving of dance, sound healing, ritual, community, prayer, and connection, and will be held on the beautiful “Valley Isle” of Maui in January 2023. You will take inspiration from the powerful ‘Aina (land) of Maui—from Iao Valley waterfalls, Ho’okipa waves, humpback whales and honu (turtles), the scent of plumeria, trade winds and ever-present Haleakala.
Developed by 5Rhythms teacher Sylvie Minot 15 years ago, Medicine Circle combines powerful lineages—Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms Movement, cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien Ph.D.'s Four-Fold Way, and sound healing with Peruvian master Tito LaRosa.
In Medicine Circle, you dance, and the circle holds the big, small, quiet, loud, joyful, still, cathartic, and everything-in-between dances. Sylvie and Wendy use sound—drums, rattles, bells, rain sticks, and song—to call Spirit back in. We pray, for ourselves, for others, and for the greater whole. You will call on your ancestors, guides, and the spirit of the land, honoring your past and creating new pathways for healing.
Dancing together in this sacred way is our medicine.
Sylvie Minot is the Executive Director and Founder of Syzygy Dance Project, a 5Rhythms teacher, ordained minister, and creator of Medicine Circle.
Wendy Heffner trained as a 5Rhythms Movement Therapist and has used dance as a transformational practice for over 20 years.
Together, Sylvie and Wendy have led Medicine Circles throughout the United States, Mexico, and Australia.
