Cycles

 I have always been drawn to the stories, artwork and holy scriptures describing the mystical wheel of life and death. I’ve paid attention to my inner stories, dreams and memories of lifetime after lifetime within my bones and have noticed how much of our struggles are carried generation to generation veiled as our own personal wounds.

Embodying our ancestral legacy in CYCLES invites us to celebrate what enriches our soul while releasing with compassion what no longer serves.

Dancing in the chaotic soup of our ancestors: their prayers, their lies, their secrets, their joys- we can emerge with the lightness of clarity that sheds the ancient ties that hold us back and create the space for both freedom and mystery to ignite our present moment. 

I am honored to hold the Cycles map as we dance with the mysteries of this wild wheel of life!

"Life is a journey. Its route is essentially the same for everyone, even though we start in different settings and with different baggage." -- Gabrielle Roth

​

In this Cycles workshop we unlock the trunks that hold our memories, our ancestor’s dreams, the beliefs and disbeliefs of those that walked before us be it in our blood or in our home. From our conception to our death, we will sort through the mysteries within our trunks of treasures to meet with grounded bodies, tended hearts and open minds, what may have been stored and hidden for generations.

​

Prerequisite: A 3-day 5Rhythms® Heartbeat workshop is required prior to attendance.

All workshop hours contribute to 5Rhythms® Teacher Training prerequisites.

Moon Lodge

 How empowered do you feel as a woman navigating this world? What is your relationship to the feminine? And to female wisdom? Join us inside the Moon Lodge, a place for exploration — for women to find tribal and ritual healing.

The 5Rhythms is a map that teaches us how energy moves. It shows us the patterns, rhythms, and cycles of life — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness — and can be a direct path to the embodiment and empowerment many of us do not feel in a time of patriarchy.

This workshop will be about celebrating the body of Woman and the sacred feminine within us all. Through dance, meditation, massage, acupressure, and ritual baths, we will share in the Sisterhood of humanity. We will poultice our wounds and celebrate the great gifts of our ancestors.

This workshop includes:

5Rhythms moving meditation

Mindfulness meditation

Restorative acupressure techniques

Women’s health practices

Women’s counsel

Group sharing

Dr. Julie Von, a specialist in women’s health, will present the Chinese Medicine perspective on the five elements, psychosomatic process, restorative acupuncture, and self-care. She will teach us to prioritize these pillars and recognize when we are out of balance.

Lucia Horan will integrate the stillness of Buddhist mindfulness meditation with the moving meditations of the 5Rhythms®. In sitting meditation, we have the opportunity to observe the mind and body at rest through silent introspection. In the practice of the 5Rhythms, we engage in mindfulness while in motion. Together, these two polarities mirror the dance of life and open the door to peace, well-being, and balance.
