Gaia - A 5Rhythms & Work That Reconnects Daylong
with Layah Jane, Amy Lister, & Ciara Hefferon
Many of us are living with a sense of anxiety, overwhelm, and despair around the climate crisis.
How do we process what we are living and keep stepping into our place in the ecology of change?
5Rhythms is a dynamic movement meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth, that offers us a map for embodying our creative capacity to meet all that life brings. There are no steps to follow. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.
The Work That Reconnects helps people discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action. (Joanna Macy, Root Teacher)
This is our second workshop weaving 5Rhythms & The Work That Reconnects. Let’s use our practices to support our coming apart, coming together, and fortification for the way forward.

In these troubled times of disconnect and division, this is a call to come together.
This is a call to tend the fires of connection through creative practice.
Let’s move, breathe, and behold the mess and bless of this life.
Let’s listen to body, heart, and the space between us.
Let’s notice and name, experience and express, the whispers and roars in our blood and bones.
Here, with the 5Rhythms movement practice as our map - -
with moment-to-moment heart-full attention,
and an ethic of rigorous receptivity, and commitment to care,
we will move with the habits we hold,
honour the armour gilded from relational rupture
and make sacred space for the dance to emerge, that leads us towards repair.
Together, we will practice listening and responding to our inner impulses for motion and creativity.
Together we will practice the art of attunement.
5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a workout for body and soul, and a map for awakening and embodying our creative capacity to meet what life brings. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.
All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.
