Fierce & Fragile (Heartbeat in Sofia)

Sofia - 12 Jul 2025 to 13 Jul 2025
Meredith Davies - David Juriansz

How surely gravity’s law,

strong as an ocean current,

takes hold of the smallest thing

and pulls it toward the heart of the world.

- Rainer Maria Rilke

In human life, as in nature, sometimes we feel the inexorable pull. An instinctive, forward determination towards an unknown ocean. Called to the wild waves, between open sky and ground, we can feel exposed. This vulnerability is the source of our fierce wisdom.

5Rhythms Heartbeat® is an embodiment map to understanding and moving with the power of emotion. Working with Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy & Compassion we offer the dance floor as a safe space to feel & express our fierce desire along with the fragile beauty of our unique quest for wholeness.

At this moment. Like we do. If you sense a gravitational force calling you. Bring both your hard shell and your soft body to the dance floor.

Prerequisites: A minimum 10 hours of Waves with an accredited 5Rhythms teacher. If you are unsure, please get in touch.

This workshop counts as 2 days of Heartbeat hours towards the 5Rhythms Teacher Training.

Meredith & David: For more than 2 decades, Meredith Davies and David Juriansz have been a dynamic duo for 5Rhythms in Australia. Their weekly Melbourne & Castlemaine classes are a 5Rhythms mecca for conscious dance travellers from around the world. Their pioneering spirit helped nurture many movement teachers whilst turning thousands of people onto 5Rhythms and conscious dance practices.Collectively they bring 35 years of shared 5Rhythms teaching experience. This workshop will blend Meredith’s deep embodiment & playful, compassionate exploration of the emotional Heartbeat landscape with David’s passionate, humorous storytelling & musical mastery of Waves.

Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms has been a global movement practice for 40 years and Moving Essence started the first weekly classes in Melbourne 20 years ago. Workshops offer a deeper experience of process through this life-changing work.

We are grateful to Milena Nenkova who is producing this workshop in Sofia, Bulgaria. We also look forward to collaborating with our 5Rhythms teaching colleague Daniela Peltekova who will open this 5Rhythms Heartbeat weekend with a deep Friday night Waves Dance

Fear, Courage & Perspective

Sofia - 18 Oct 2025 to 19 Oct 2025
Ron Hagendoorn

Our emotions are of invaluable importance in our lives, as they provide us with the energy we need to take appropriate actions. Fear is an emotion that protects us from danger. Without being able to recognize fear, we would not be able to survive and would take unnecessary and life-threatening risks.

On the other hand, worrying too much about something exciting that we need to do can paralyze us and limit our creativity. This workshop focuses on the energy and movement that arise from fear, so that we can discover its essential power. By overcoming fear, we gain courage, which enables us to make positive changes and create a broader perspective.

This is a 5Rhythms Waves® & Heartbeat® workshop. Previous experience is not required.
