A Movement Workshop Through Imagination, Play & Possibility
As the season turns and the veil between worlds grows thin, we are invited to notice what quietly lives beneath the surface.
Shadow Play is a two-day movement workshop rooted in the 5Rhythms® Shadow Map—a playful, embodied invitation to explore the hidden landscapes of the body through movement, expressive arts, imagination, and live music.
Rather than naming or analyzing what we discover, we'll allow the body to lead. The Shadow Map becomes a compass rather than a prescription, guiding us with curiosity as we move between each rhythm's shadow and its essential nature. Together, we'll create space for what naturally emerges, trusting that the body's wisdom often arrives before words can explain it.
Each rhythm offers a different doorway. As we dance, create, witness, and play, we'll begin to recognize familiar patterns—not to fix or overcome them, but to meet them with openness. Through movement and imagination, we'll experiment with new possibilities, expanding our movement vocabulary while deepening our relationship with ourselves and one another.
This is your invitation to wonder.
Come surprise yourself.
See what begins to emerge when movement leads the way.
Join 5Rhythms® accredited teacher and Somatic Expressive Artist Alyssa Jurewicz Johns, playwright, director, and Jungian Analyst, Lena Rose Williams, and musician, producer, and dancer Drew Bayura for a weekend of movement, creativity, play, and embodied discovery.
Not everything hidden needs to be explained.
Some things reveal themselves through movement.
