During the workshop we will sink deeper into the rhythms of our body and heart. We will spend a day and a half grounding ourselves at Waves level, as preparation to explore the five essential feelings in Heartbeat practice on Sunday. We will be opening up the gateways of the body parts, an entry point into each of the Rhythms (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness); we will be inviting an awareness of our sensations, our body temperature, streamings, weight, and pulsing of our body. When we become embodied in this way we will be in position to draw from the intuition, power, and insights that the body has to offer and to open up to the primal wisdom of the Five Emotions: the Fear that protects us, the Anger that defends us, the Sadness that releases us, the Joy that uplifts us and the Compassion that unites us. On the last day we will learn how to trust the flow and the beat of our hearts. This workshops is open to everyone, though we strongly recommend that you attend at least one weekly class beforehand This workshop counts towards future 5Rhythms ® trainings as 1 day of Heartbeat level and one day and half of Waves level teaching.

In Heartbeat we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of being human. Old feelings that have been locked in our limbs or caged in our chest begin to shake loose. We get comfortable with feelings, neither hanging onto them nor pushing them away.
