In Heartbeat each of the 5Rhythms provides a pathway for exploring and transforming emotions, leading to a more embodied, present, and authentic self. Stillness opens the way to compassion. In Heartbeat we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of being human.

Feelings long to be experessed through the body, and a joyfull and safe place to do that is a dancefloor. Through dance they begin to shake loose and we get comfortable with feelings, neither hanging onto them nor pushing them away.

In Still Dancing we’ll dance through all the emotions to arrive in compassion. It is a state of being where the heart is open and available without identifying with a story. It is also the place of the witness who can put service into action when needed. This is a very healthy and helpful way to see the wider picture, to hear the wisdom that is offered, and to know the next step. 

Every gesture is an opportunity to listen to the body's inner wisdom and to connect with a deeper sense of peace. Movements alternate pauses, embodying the quality of deep listening and reflection. This ebb and flow between movement and pause invites you to fully inhabit the present moment, embracing the stillness within as a source of strength and clarity. When you travelled through all different Rhythms and feelings you can rest in Still Dancing with more courage, forgiveness, surrender and generosity. Without judging or hiding for oneself or others.

Life is full on, so let the dancefloor be a refuge where you can rest and express in the rhythm of breath and the beat of the drum.
