Shapes of Intimacy

“None of us wants to be numb. We long to connect. We long to be real. We long to be intimate. 

Intimacy is the transitory dissolution of boundaries. Intimacy is an open path, a bridge between my heart and yours. We get stuck on the bridge because we don’t want to pay these tolls: total surrender to vulnerability, spontaneity, and an open, unguarded heart...” Gabrielle Roth

The floor of a 5Rhythms event offers us the space to be new, be vulnerable, make new choices, act and play, and reveal ourselves emerging. In this workshop we will investigate what intimacy requires of us. Each joint of the structural body holds a story, a memory; and as the dance of the 5Rhythms unfolds, the body, the bones and the muscles start to come together and create a coherent expression of the whole person. With a whole sense of our bodies, in dance, and through interaction with others, we are being given an opportunity to see what, and where (not who!) our triggers are: feel them, acknowledge them; give them a shape, and eventually shift them into something else.
