Howl - 5 Day Waves Retreat

 “I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love.” – Leslie Fiedler

Have you ever known a restlessness that cannot be contained? Something stirs in you, and yet you do not know its source, or where it may take you. Do you remember and sense a deep-throated, primal longing that knocks inside your bones and blood, the same desire that appears in the shimmers of the moon, the quiet of the night, and in the mystery of your own beating heart? The moon-shadows call your spirit to awaken, to arise from your slumber, to once again dare to be outrageously alive and give full-throated voice to the passions that inspire and move you.

Celebrate the raw wildness of life by reconnecting with and reclaiming your true, limitless self. With the 5Rhythms® as our guide, we will venture off the beaten path, dancing back into being all that has been lost or stolen, boldly accessing the profound edges of our own instinct and intuition in order to bring to life our deepest yearnings.

Nourish: A 5Rhythms Deep Dive

"Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings.
Not all things are blest, but the
seeds of all things are blest.
The blessing is in the seed.
This moment, this seed, this wave of the sea, this look, this instant of love."

~ Muriel Rukeyser from “Elegy in Joy”

Too much in our world, in our lives, in our culture uproots us from our embodied selves, turns us into talking heads, out of touch with the physicality of our experience.

But we are embodied beings. We experience all things in our bodies. And it is through our bodies–through movement, exploration, expression, attention, and awareness–that we we can cultivate the sensitivity and resilience to be fully human in this moment.

This five-session 5Rhythms Waves intensive series with Melanie Cooley will take us deep into the fundamentals of 5Rhythms as an embodiment practice. Inviting us to ground ourselves in the roots of the rhythms, to plant the seeds of a practice that will bring us home to our bodies, nourish our humanness, and set our feet toward new possibilities.
