Me and My Shadow

 “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”

~ Ralf Waldo Emerson

The 5Rhythms® map is a dynamic moving practice. 

Each respective rhythm Flowing - Staccato - Chaos - Lyrical and Stillness have an incredible and versatile terrain that can be explored over and over again.The 5Rhythms® also have their shadow side.

During our time together using the Shadow map, we are be invited to explore the parts of us that we would often rather not see, feel, sense or be with. Instead of pushing away from it all, which by the way takes a lot of energy! Let’s give ourself a break and permission to open the gate and get down into the nitty gritty of the shadow! We will embrace and embody their archetypes with playfulness and curiosity.  Loosening them up and bring them to life!

The 5Rhythms philosophy has no judgment.

With this medicine, we open a door for us to become a more conscious human being that can have the capacity to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and compassion for ourself and others. 

We will connect with our shadows through movement, self reflection, compassion interwoven with breath in the safety of the container we build together.

5Rhythms® Wave, Ritual Theatre, Yoga, and SOMA Breath® will be part of the modalities that we will use.

Self/Centered

5Rhythms® initiates us back into the wisdom of our bodies and unleashes the dynamic healing power of movement.

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.

This evening workshop brings together all three of these incredible healing modalities to offer a light and playful gateway into the wise and compassionate witness that lives within (in IFS called Self energy). We also will explore a creative pathway into "legacy burdens" (limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, or dysfunctional relationship patterns that can show up in our lives without our conscious understanding of where they come from).

Together we will move through a 5Rhythms wave to open and expand and drop in some embodiment practices from Somatic IFS that encourage your body's natural impulse to restore balance and healing.
