FIRE - Elemental Rhythms - Residential Intensive (can be booked individually)
Rhossili - 27 Jun 2024 to 30 Jun 2024Bernadette Ryder
The Second of four residential workshops for those who
- Have fallen in love with the dancing path
- Are passionate about the natural world
- Want to open to the wisdom holding & healing of the elements.
Elemental Rhythms is a series of four workshops, each devoted to the teachings of one of the elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Air.
The workshops can be done individually, but they will also build on each other in a progressive sequence – each element being a gateway to a deeper connection with our world, our-selves, and our potential.
In Workshop 2- FIRE:
When we engage with the element of fire we step through a portal into the teachings of the universal father – the energy source fueling all life on earth – the Sun. In this landscape we encounter the principles of staccato, the masculine, the topography of the heart and the kaleidoscope of human emotions: passion, tenderness, the many faces of love, and the many facets of human relationship.
These teachings foster our capacity to shape our own lives, set our own boundaries, and determine our direction and destiny. Within this dimension we explore the patterns we each acquired through our experience of being fathered – opening the opportunity to evolve beyond our core woundings and expand into the power of loving.
Add to the stunning location: a supportive community of dedicated dancers, nourishing whole earth food by the celebrated MAJiC Times, an exceptionally experienced and committed teacher, and we have all the ingredients needed to facilitate deep healing and nourishing work
The greatest gift of the 5Rhythms is that, when engaged with deeply and fully, it takes us on a journey of progressive expansion towards our full potential as creative, loving beings. Catalytic in nature, it works to free the body, open the heart, still the mind and awaken consciousness. Ultimately, this entirely physical practice is a spiritual experience.

In Workshop 3 - WATER:
Within the fluid, translucent, medium of water the marriage of earth and fire gives birth to life in its vast variety. A transmutable teacher: as gentle as dew, as force-full as rapids, as relentless as ocean tides - water teaches us how to ride the waves of change with grace and poise - and how to seep past hindrances to find the pathways of least resistance towards our aspirations.
Within the domain of water, we encounter the energy fields of the mind and face the exquisite thrill of dancing with forces greater than ourselves. Through the practice of confronting and learning to undermine the trickster patterns of the ego, we can expand our capacity to embrace the deep intelligence of our intuitive mind - the subtle voice that knows: when to forge our direction and when to yield to the current, when to shape our world and when to be shaped by it - growing and nurturing the power of knowing that resides at the heart of chaos.
