Ignite: Power and Passion in EveryBody

 In a world burning with division and disconnection, IGNITE is a call to remember: we are not just minds; we are breath, bone, spirit, and story. 

This is not your typical movement workshop. This is a revolution of rhythm, a fierce celebration of difference, and a soul-stirring dive into what it means to truly inhabit your body, whatever body you’re in.

Led by Douglas Drummond, a dynamic 5Rhythms® teacher known for his deep, inclusive approach to embodiment, and Dr. Victor Pineda, a global force for disability justice and human rights, this experience welcomes every body and every story. Together, we’ll burn through the barriers that keep us separate and dance into a new kind of belonging.

We have two amazing guest musicians: Sanga of the Valley and Nick Ayers. 

Moving Parts

5Rhythms initiates us back into the wisdom of our bodies and unleashes the dynamic healing power of movement. This invites us to track memories and perceptions through gestures and shapes.

IFS offers a framework for understanding and healing by helping us facilitate a journey of self-discovery, compassion, and ultimately, liberation from the weight of the past. 

Somatic IFS recognizes that the body holds memories, emotions, and experiences that can be accessed and processed through body awareness, movement, breathwork, and touch.

The workshop brings together the gifts of all three of these incredible healing modalities to support us to liberate ourselves from the deeply ingrained, often unconscious, beliefs, emotions, and patterns of behavior that are passed down through generations within a family or cultural lineage. These legacy burdens can manifest as limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, or dysfunctional relationship patterns that negatively impact our lives even if we haven't directly experienced the originating trauma.

This workshop offers a light and playful gateway into the wise and compassionate witness that lives within (in IFS called Self energy).  

Within this workshops are concepts from the therapeutic principles of Internal Family Systems, explored through the 5Rhythms embodiment map. While these bodies of work are therapeutic in nature, this workshop is not "therapy".
