"The life of a person is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves." Black Elk (Oglala Lakota)

What is Medicine Circle? Medicine Circle weaves ritual, community, movement, sounds, and prayer, allowing us to reconnect with Spirit. Circles have been used by many indigenous cultures throughout history as places for ceremony and transformation.

In Medicine Circle, we dance, and the circle holds the big, small, quiet, loud, joyful, still, cathartic, and everything-in-between dances. We use sound--drums, rattles, bells, rain sticks, and song--to call Spirit back in.

​We pray for ourselves, for others, and for the greater whole. Dance and presence are our offerings. Being together in this sacred way is our medicine.

Welcome to the circle.

About Sylvie: Often described as a catalytic shape-shifter, Sylvie Minot meets people right where they are and moves with them into new possibilities. She received her BA in Dance from San Jose State University and has a Master's in Theology. She is a certified 5Rhythms and Heartbeat teacher, trained by Gabrielle Roth and has been teaching since 2000. Over the course of 30 years she has studied psychology, indigenous healing rituals, energy medicine, and sound healing. Her inspiration is drawn from the teachings of Angeles Arrien, Carolyn Myss, and Tito La Rosa.

~~~

About 5Rhythms: Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform the suffering into art, art into awareness, awareness into action.

Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

Creativity, Connection, Community
