5Rhythms Fundamentals

 5Rhythms® Fundamentals
The embodied teachings of Gabrielle Roth

“Dance is my gateway to a deeper sense of unity and…it’s my gateway to more deeply live and occupy my body, my heart and my mind.” Gabrielle Roth

Gabrielle Roth was an ecstatic dance pioneer and a visionary. Her creation of the 5Rhythms moving meditation practice was one of the first awakenings of conscious dance practice. Since then, many other ecstatic dance practices have been spun off of her web. In this workshop, we return to the pure essence of Gabrielle’s teachings and dive deeper into her transformative and dynamic dance practice.

Beginners and seasoned dancers will have the opportunity to learn and embody each of the 5Rhythms: Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness™.
Using the body as our tool and gateway, we will discover our personal expression of each Rhythm and how the 5Rhythms Wave™ can support us to move through any aspect of our lives.

This workshop is an invitation to witness and support each other to explore the teachings of the 5Rhythms practice – a journey of curiosity, personal revelation and self-healing.

O R I G I N

A Waves-level workshop encountering, exploring, and inhabiting the intersections of ancestry and mystery, linear and timeless time, cycles of life/death/life, soil and stars. With trance as our portal and the 5Rhythms maps as our guide, we will move with these realms and invite their wisdom-gifts to inform and inhabit our present-moment embodiment and awareness.
