Connection 2024

On this course we explore aspects of connection through each of the rhythms over five modules, beginning in March and ending in November. In the safety of a closed group we will use using creativity and sensory and dancing explorations to invite deeper connections with self, other, group, the planet and spirit. This includes working with the shadow rhythms to better understand how we habitually limit the depth of our connections, and learning how to transform these habits into doorways to greater fulfilment.

Fridays 7 - 9pm and Saturdays 10 - 6pm: 

8, 9 March

3, 4 May

28, 29 June

6, 7 September

29, 30 November

Please only apply if you are available for all five modules.

Intimate Pathways - 5Rhythms & Lifesensing workshop

5Rhythms & L i f e s e n s i n g Workshop

A 2-day workshop with Nikki Ashley & Morag Donnelly

The art of dancing toward the intimate

Meeting ourselves in the intimacy of the dance space, meeting others one to one, and meeting the whole group can open us to deeper connection. It can also, perhaps, stifle our spontaneity & freedom of expression. We are responding to the call and deeply felt need of fellow dancers to explore this inspiring, crucial and always present theme.

Offering new ways to encounter ourselves & others through shared reflective conversation & simple intuitive touch based drawing exercises. Together with immersing ourselves in the map of 5Rhythms. Each rhythm connecting us to a quality of the movements of intimacy; Flowing grounds our sensuality, Staccato clarifies our boundaries, Chaos breaks open our raw and wild nature, Lyrical liberates our playfulness and in Stillness we are met by the quiet grace of our presence.

A laboratory space to draw, dance and play - to find out who else and what else is being experienced in these dance floor connections

What do we give our permission to?

Is our sensuality welcome?

Can we dance with attraction?

Are we welcome when we need distance?

Will our ‘no’ be as encouraged as our ‘yes’?

…. & the many more enquiries that open up when we workshop in a mutually supportive and safe space.

A space where you will always be encouraged to go at your own pace and ability. To experience renewal & connection to your authenticity, a stronger sense of presence and availability to yourself and others - giving you more prepared ground for navigating authentic relating on and off the dance floor.

Come join us for this rich enquiry.
