rhythm between rhythms

 "Wie ein Fluss haben auch wir Unterströmungen, Gegenströmungen, Gezeiten, Stimmungen, Untiefen und Tiefen. Wie ein Fluss sind wir fortwährend in Bewegung"... diese Worte von Gabrielle begleiten mich seit vielen Jahren.Jaaaaa! Das Leben kann man mit den ersten vier Rhythmen (Flowing, Staccato , Chaos und Lyrical) in einem dualistischen Modell anschauen und beobachten. Bewegung zwischen zwei Polen. Höhen und Tiefen, Licht und Dunkelheit, Weiblich und Männlich, Gut und Böse, Liebe und Angst, Körper und Seele, Tag und Nacht, Leben und Tod. "Bin ich mir bewusst, wo ich mich gerade befinde, wo ich stehe ... was passiert und ... soll ich was tun...???... was läuft automatisch ab ...???" Eine dualistische Anschauung beinhaltet immer ein Trennungsprinzip. Ich und die Welt. Ich und mein Körper, meine Emotionen, meine Gedanken und meine Seele. Soll dann der fünfte Rhythmus, die Stille, eine Qualität und Fähigkeit haben zwei Pole, zwei Gegensätze zu vereinen? Oder ist es nur ein bewusstes Wahrnehmen und die illusorische Freiheit, ein Konzept, die eine oder andere Richtung wählen zu können. Etwas tun oder ruhend stehen bleiben, nur ein- und ausatmen ...???

"TRIBAL DANCE"

 “TRIBAL DANCE”

5 Days 5 Rhythms® Workshop 

from Old Year to New Year

Led by Silvija Tomčik with Thierry Francois

29.12.2022 – 02.01.2023

Leibnitz, Austria

“The 5 Rhythms community is a 21st century tribe unbound by history, culture, race, religion, gender or politics. We are bound by the beat, following our feet on a dancing path to freedom. We are beat-driven, service oriented, heart-based individuals who come together to embrace our tribal longings. The measure of a community is its respect of its elders, the innocence of its children, the passion of its artists and the hope of its healers.” Gabrielle Roth

Tribal dance is a gathering of dancers coming together from different places to reflect, heal and let go with gratitude the year that has passed, as well as welcome the new one with our intentions, visions and inspirations. It is an opportunity to celebrate unity through our uniqueness. 

This year’s Tribal Dance is inspired by the wisdom, culture and art from India.  

Our special guest teacher and assistant is Ajay Rajani. 

This workshop will be a balanced combination of basic 5Rhythms® teachings, 2 dancing ceremonies and some surprise additions to the program. 

5Rhythms®: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness – show us the way to be rooted, centered, powerful, visionary and in Love. 

We offer 2 dancing ceremonies as powerful and efficient tools to state our intentions, and keep the mind focused; they are the vessels holding space for us to enter timelessness and expand our consciousness. The need for ceremonies at certain times of our life and at certain times throughout the year, like the time around the New Year, is deeply rooted in our human DNA. 

Dance Pilgrimage (led by Silvija) is a deep moving meditation through the landscape of the Wave. We dance across the room for a long period of time with the sense of our personal as well as our tribal prayer. Pilgrimage as an ancient symbol depicts our journey, through our ups and downs, through the darkness into the light – and this pilgrimage will take us from the last hours of the Old year into the first hours of the New year. 

The Tree Ceremony (led by Thierry) is an invitation to dance in the direction of what is in front of us, into the perspective of the New Year that is beginning. In this dance we can allow ourselves to surrender to the power of the tree and its gifts.

“May we all dance together in celebration, each in our place, in our style, in our infinite grace and encourage, support, nurture and stand up for each other every step of the way.” Gabrielle Roth
