Rituals of Belonging 2 ~ Connection
A 5Rhythms & Open Floor Workshop with Layah Jane (5Rhythms) and Majero Bouman (Open Floor)
In these times of disconnect and division, there is a yearning to come together--
To meet the living mystery of our unfolding,
And to move in the poetry of our longing for connection.
What do we welcome and what do we leave out when with an other?
What does relationship call forward in us, whether welcome or not?
How can our movement practice help facilitate more belonging in connection and strengthen the dance of relationality?
Together we will weave a day of individual, dyad, and ensemble exploring and remembering, supported by the 5Rhythms and Open Floor movement practices.

Layah Singer-Wilson (5Rhythms) and Majero Bouman (Open Floor) met on the dance floor in 2014, and have been lit up by each other ever since.
LAYAH is a healing artist, a teacher, dancer, mother, and musician. Passionate about offering people sacred space to experience motion as medicine, Layah has facilitated movement for all ages since 2003. Her work is infused with expressive enthusiasm, a fascination with the weave of ritual and improvisational art, and a reverent love of creative practice as a transformational and political act. Layah is a member of the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association, and a certified 5Rhythms teacher accredited with the 5Rhythms Teachers Association. All study hours with Layah count as prerequisites towards future 5Rhythms teacher trainings.
MAJERO is a poet, a cultural theorist, a mother, an artist, and a life-long dancer. She merges the intellectual with the inspirational in her work as an Open Floor Teacher. Her work is in service to cultural transformation, community responsibility, and self-awareness. She believes that movement practice can connect us deeply to ourselves and others - in service to communion - making the intangible visible. Her students appreciate the grit, substance, and inspiration she brings to her work. She is committed to making dance/movement accessible to people from all walks of life: the ordinary and the unconventional, those who dance and those who never knew they could.
