Compassion & Connection 5Rhythms Heartbeat & Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness

 Love is not a mood, but a dynamic way of being. - Gabrielle Roth

Connection and compassion are keys to finding peace and happiness in this difficult world. Becoming a more compassionate person will serve you in your daily life by relieving you of harsh judgments and allowing more kindness to flow through you. If one desires an ability to be compassionate, one must develop the skills to turn inwards. 

The spontaneous heart is one that knows how to love and be loved. Heartbeat map is a guide to how our emotional energy moves and morphs. In this practice we embody the art of being a fluid emotional athlete. This map teaches us how to navigate the emotional terrain of life without getting stuck, holding on, or pushing away.

We will explore how the body has been shaped by our emotions, tracking when the heart is open and when it is closed. As waves of feeling move us, we learn how to express emotion in a healthy and creative way. Through the embodiment of the 5Rhythms practice, you will be shown skills and techniques to take home and apply in your daily life. This workshop is designed for everyone, of every age, and shape. 

In this workshop we will integrate the stillness of Buddhist mindfulness meditation with the moving meditations of the 5Rhythms
