I dance so as not to forget that life is a process - there is no place where we have to arrive - it is only necessary to dance. I understand that 5 Rhythms is an essential map to remind us who we are above and beyond who we believe we are. It is a way of honoring that we are bodies in motion moving throw space. Bodies that speak to us loud and clear, telling us that life is change. Life happens while our hearts beat, while there is movement.

I am a psychotherapist, a sweat lodge guide and a sun dancer. Dancing to the rhythm of a drum has helped human beings in all cultures through history to obtain clarity and to open perception. It was revolutionary for me discover 5 Rhythms in the heart of the city, a practice to investigate what is authentic. A dance which includes everything - your light and your shadow, your fear and your happiness.

For me, the maps of Gabrielle Roth introduce what is sacred into our daily lives, rediscovering ancestral knowledge of dance and contextualizing it for the times we live in.

I feel very grateful to be in service of transformation via this practice, to be able to continue my own learning by offering my experience to others and hold space with humility, being open to a multitude of outcomes. I trust the map to reveal each dancer's own path and experience.

I deeply respect the courage of the dancers who dare to express themselves freely.
