DESCRIPTION

A 5Rhythms® workshop with Meredith Davies

Heartbeat makes art of the muck of life. Transforming feelings… Fear to Courage, Anger to Clarity, Sadness to Respectful Release, so that Joy and Compassion come naturally.

In Waves classes, we dance the 5Rhythms time and time again, so that we deepen our capacity to be fluid and grounded with everything that life reveals to us.

Sometimes we find ourselves on the dance floor in a puddle of tears or experiencing moments of rage or even despair. This is a natural and normal experience. We can spiral into resistance, shame and apathy or we can use movement to access our true power.

This Heartbeat Introduction will provide you with the embodiment tools to respect and transform these emotional moments. This is a life changing practice.

Heartbeat® work enables us to claim the vital energy of old unacknowledged feelings and be surprised and refreshed by new ones. We learn to “lean in” and not resist or indulge our emotional world.

In this workshop we will dance a lot and witness each other, moving with Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy and Compassion. This fosters acceptance for the vital energy that emotion gifts us.

“If you let your heart be moved, be open to the risk and adventure of feelings, letting them work through to completion… you will change… tears turn into smiles, anger into embraces.” Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms founder
