“Every time I dance I shed the skin of separateness and I feel the frequency of the tribe.” 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 a retrospective and remix of the last 4 themes: Mayan, Persian, Maori and Indian. We will blend in the art, wisdom and music from these different cultures.
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, Dance Pilgrimage and Tree Ceremony, 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.
The workshop is led in English.
Previous Waves experience led by 5Rhythms accredited teachers is needed.
This workshop counts as a 5 days Waves towards the 5Rhythms Teacher Training.
We begin on Friday, 29.12. at 17h and end on Tuesday 02.01. at 16h.

“I touch and surrender myself to the Earth. I become one with my true nature allowing it to emerge. From these roots, I shall grow.“ Julie Timms
The invitation is to give ourselves enough time to spend down on the floor, offering our weight to the earth, letting our feet guide us into our dance.
Learning how to drop what we carry and let the ground hold us, nourish us, comfort us. Surrendering to the earth what holds us back, what holds us down, what keeps us separate. Resting in our inhale, rising on our exhale. It takes courage to feel that our being is enough. Coming back home to our own physical bodies more and more, we can start feeling more at home on this planet and extend loving attention and care from our own self love.
Rooted and centered we can soar, we can switch from me to we, from weight to weightless, from effort to effortless. We rise from the ground up, we dance from the feet up, we support and lift each other up, liberating our imagination, celebrating our maturity.
There will be a lot of dancing, some live music and singing, some tree planting, some soul collaging. Enough free time to go to the sauna and jump into the lake, make some new friends, whisper to some horses, and smell the spring waking us all up.
“It’s a miracle, isn’t it?
How even in the longest and most brutal of winters
thousands of seeds are plotting
a most magnificent spring.“
Leyla Aylin
