In the Soul Flight Summer Workshop we....

Allow ourselves to be in the simplicity of the moment

Dancing away refueled, energized, connected while

Always remembering that we are THE inspiration

We will have time for rest, swimming, play, and connection in this workshop held on the coast of Slovenia.

Statement of the participant of the summer workshop Soul Flight 2024:

“The dance of life goes on and it feels really joyful and exciting! What I find good and helpful for my daily life and practice: the movement in stillness, expressing a deep wish, a vision, an intention… clear and simple movement, carried by the breath! A great reminder to integrate the breathing even more! Thank you, Martina, for your openness, your honesty and spontanity, your big heart! And dear Anže, i have been touched by your loving care for our group, your clarity, your gentleness, also when you were teaching! Beautiful energy! All together has been so enjoyable, with swimming in the ocean and with the great boat trip! And the lovely camping place with this wonderful view! I wish you both much joy and love and hope to dance with you again.” Hanna

“Martina is a powerful teacher and catalyst, and the week in Izola was truly transformative. The synergy of dance and embodied practices with creative and expressive artwork was particularly valuable. I loved the diversity of the group just as much as the location. The way Martina and her partner and co-teacher Anže facilitated the retreat and held space for individual and collective processes was both highly professional and compassionately heartfelt. Although I've been practicing various conscious dance forms for many years, I am once again surprised by the transformative power of 5Rhythms and the guidance of dedicated and passionate teachers.” Laya Commenda

Let the Sunshine in - 5-days HEARTBEAT workshop

Izola - 4 Aug 2025 to 10 Aug 2025
Martina Motl - Anze Bertoncelj

Movement practice of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms®

Led by Martina Motl, Certified 5Rhythms® Teacher

with Anže Bertoncelj, Certified 5Rhythms® Teacher

LET THE SUNSHINE IN – 5-DAYS HEARTBEAT WORKSHOP

What does your heart need?

How can you listen to it?

What will bring joy back into your life?

In this 5-day workshop we will follow circular maps of 5Rhythms practice, level of working with emotions: fear (Flowing), anger (Staccato), sadness (Chaos), joy (Lyrical), compassion (Stillness).

Many years of experiences in discovering emotions and their healing and beneficial effects have brought me to the point where I am ready to hold the space and support you on your journey of discovering an emotional map. Only when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable can we call more life into our daily lives. More joy. More creative moments. More ecstasy. One is not without the other. When we allow ourselves to replace fear with courage and embody it, the first step has already been taken. Our inner dancer, waiting for permission to shine in his power and spread the wings of inspiration, is hiding in each of us. Layer after layer, we will uncover emotional veils, raise awareness and give them space and time to express themselves and shine in the divine spark of inspiration that we ourselves are. Welcome.

Statements of the participants of the previous workshops Let the sunshine in:

»Thank you my dear dance teachers Martina Motl in Anže Bertoncelj for this fantastic experience meeting with my heart. Thank you to let us dance as we are, exploring the deepest lands of ourselves, observing, feeling our bodies, and releasing things that no longer serve us. Thank you to hold the safe space for us every second of the way. Martina, you are an amazing woman, powerful yet gentle - magickal and healing. Anže, thank you for your support to all of us in every moment. You feel like a gentle, safe, warm, and soothing breeze.« Polona

"My dear, great teacher Martina Motl. I came to the workshop scattered in 1000 pieces. I want to be happy so much and I know that happiness is a decision. It is a state that I choose myself. It is purity of thoughts and feelings, there is deep peace and love in me. But you took me and supported me in the experience of the opposite of happiness. I realized deep sadness, unhappiness, unfulfillment, pain, anger, fear... It sounds crazy, but only through all this pain... When I opened my heart to the deepest sadness... Joy and happiness could also enter my heart. You taught me to breathe in sadness and pain, anger and fear. I accepted all this, embodied it and gave it space inside me. With your divine support, I listened to what sadness, anger, fear, despair was saying to me... Through movement I touched every feeling or I bravely stepped into the core of this feeling. I allowed myself to be touched by these feelings. I didn't think at all, I just felt and danced. My body embraced all of this and suddenly everything was good and right. Therefore, happiness is not a feeling, nor a state. It's a moment to live fully. It is an energy field in which joy and sadness… clarity and confusion… are priceless parts that embrace, greet and love each other.

Thank you, Martina, for all your knowledge, which you selflessly pass on to us, constantly "tickling" me and supporting me at every moment when I need it. Thank you, Anže, for your gentle holding of space." Andreja

»I feel so inspired by Martina Motl! The 5-day 5Rhytms Heartbeat workshop “Let the Sunshine in” was an amazing journey! Martina is a powerful and passionate teacher. I experienced her teachings as a very deep healing. The 5Rhytms community of Slovenia is warm and joyful. It felt like faling in love and coming home. And the nature of Slovenia is stunning!« Ina Maria

"Total renovation of soul and body. How to dance out your emotions? 5Rhythms in 5 days through dance. Thank you Martina and Anže for this dancing journey." Goran
