Resilience grows from exploring rather than pushing difficult emotions away. Layering experience, support, and mindfulness helps us recognize that joy can sit beside them.

During challenging times, we can overlook the ordinary life moments that come in smaller packages.

The things that make our whole bodies smile and our hearts lift a bit.

A colorful bird visiting your garden. The peace inside a deep breath. Pausing to listen. A child laughing. Witnessing your animals in play. Art, music, poetry that captures your soul. A yummy meal that makes you stop and go mmmm...

Joy can be a powerful form of resilience, even though it is often the first thing to go when we are stressed, overwhelmed, grieving, or facing a challenge.

What if we slowed down and really let these moments in? Felt them in our bodies. Breathed them in through all of our senses. Let them move us, expand us, and fill our soul bucket. Trusting that these moments are our soul right, instead of something we have to earn. This is part of being human.

Even in difficult times, moments of joy are still there, waiting for us to notice them.

In this weekend workshop, we will dance through the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map, exploring how joy can support us even through fear, anger, and sadness, and open the door to compassion.

Without bypassing what is hard. This is about strengthening our ability to turn toward what nourishes us when life gets challenging.

We welcome you to dance, move, connect, sweat, feel, and explore the resilience of joy.

Deepening a practice of self-nourishment and inner depth.

This workshop counts as 2.5 days of Heartbeat Level prerequisites for the 5Rhythms Teacher Training.

Prerequisites to Join

5 Waves classes and/or one Waves level workshop.
