A GRACEFUL JOURNEY
A 5Rhythms® Movement and Mindfulness workshop with LUCIA HORAN
in Vancouver, March 10-12, 2017
“Energy moves in waves. Waves move in rhythms. Rhythms move in patters. Patterns move in cycles. A human being is just this.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
A dance.”
-- Gabrielle Roth
The 5Rhythms are a map of how energy moves. It shows us the patterns, rhythms and cycles of life through the exploration of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.
In the dance we investigate the art of graceful transitions. How are we at beginning, following through and ending? Where are we moving with ease and where do we get stuck? With this knowledge we can bring balance and awareness into each stage of the creative process: from birth, through life, into death and to all endings.
In this workshop we will integrate the stillness of Buddhist mindfulness meditation with the moving meditations of the 5Rhythms.
In sitting meditation, we have the opportunity to observe the mind and body at rest through silent introspection. In the practice of the 5Rhythms, we engage in mindfulness while in motion. The two polarities of moving and sitting meditation together mirror the dance of life and open the door to peace, well being and balance.
We invite dancers to engage in sitting meditation in order to embody integration, balance, and insight. Join us for the groundbreaking union of these two deep
and wise practices.
No experience is required.
All workshop hours contribute to 5Rhythms® teachers training

"I had never danced 5Rhythms before. What I got was soul-shaking,
heart-opening, and life changing. I pushed myself right to that edge and then tumbled over it, which I didn't think I was capable of.
I went in hoping for an easy week and left having gained a practice for a lifetime."
