Shaking Spirit Waves in the Windy City
ESSENTIAL WAVES in Chicago May 12 - 14, 2024
“The spirit in motion heals, expands, circles in and out of the body, moving through layers of inertia to ecstasy. Open to the spirit and you will be transformed.”
---- Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms Creator
When we dance the Wave of the 5 Rhythms, Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness, we tap into our authentic, constantly creative, unpredictable selves. Our movements rise and fall; find definition and provide substance; allow release; and are transformative and healing. When we tap into this essential Wave, we discover how energy moves within us and relish in our discoveries or discover how to transform our energy if desired. Our dance becomes food for body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
Shaking Spirit Waves in the City of Brotherly Love
HeartScape 5Rhythms Workshop in Philadelphia May 26 - 28
This weekend workshop dances through the terrain of the heart. We explore how the five major energies we call emotions move in our bodies. Fear in flowing; Anger in staccato; Sadness in chaos; Joy in lyrical and Compassion in stillness. We explore both what our bodies know and what the emotion teaches us.

We give lip service to standing in our own power… but what does that mean? One reason we find it hard to define is we rarely do it. In fact, we spend much of our time trying to avoid our emotions. In Heartbeat, we partner with our emotions, welcoming them, dancing alongside and within them. We find out what it is they want to tell us and move with and through them.

ALCHEMY : A SHADOW TRANSMUTATION – 5RHYTHMS® HEARTBEAT WORKSHOP
Somatic Alchemy is a body based exploration of shadow integration rooted in the 5Rhythms Wave and HeartBeat maps created by Gabrielle Roth. Over the course of the weekend we will explore the polarities of fear vs. courage; anger vs forgiveness; breaking down vs breaking free (sadness) and the relationship between joy and compassion.
Wave Upon Wave
Reclamation – when we dance the 5Rhythms® waves we are reclaiming ourselves as sacred beings and acknowledging the true value and purpose of dance in our lives. The ancients danced. They danced to create community. They danced for healing and transformation. They danced to invoke - to physicalize into being. They danced for self-expression and they danced to create joy!

Adventurous Hearts
In Adventurous Heart we begin with recognizing how fear moves and shapes each of us in relationship to ourselves, others and in a group dynamic. Belonging is a basic need that when unmet can turn inward and lead to a deep sense of loneliness even when we are with others. Meeting our fear, expressing it and letting it go creates a shift from “fitting in” to “belonging” and being accepted just as we are moment to moment. Fear leads to performance, giving ourselves away to feel accepted. Tapping into the courage in our body and hearts we practice the art of vulnerability and showing up just as we are. Moving fear into courageous connection.
