Stillness: Dancing With the Empty Space

"For me, the empty space is the ultimate comfort zone, pure energy, pure being, pure connection. It is where you lose your sense of self-consciousness, where you are no longer standing outside yourself but are completely at one with who you are at that moment." - Gabrielle Roth

In this workshop we will explore the vast final rhythm of Stillness. We will practice seated meditation, walking meditation and dancing the Stillness Wave. We will investigate how the experiences of meditation, both sublime and mundane, can be danced.

Medicine Circle: Movement Ceremony

Sylvie Minot invites you to join her for a 2.5-day Medicine Circle workshop in NYC at the start of the year. Medicine Circle workshops weave together movement, ritual, community, sound, prayer, and connection to Spirit. We use the 5Rhythms® dance practice, draw from cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien’s teachings and her work with indigenous culture, and incorporate sound healing practices Sylvie cultivated while studying with Tito La Rosa.

This intensive weekend offers a deep immersion into a soulful dance journey. As we create this sacred container to hold each other, dancers may enter into the center and move with whatever is calling for expression or healing, finding greater freedom, connection and peace.
