This workshop, grounded in all levels of 5Rhythms® study, creates a carefully structured space for us to responsibly uncover and witness some of the everyday habits of how we are, how we affect each other and the stories we regularly tell ourselves with a familiar internal voice.
Rooted in physical movement, fuelled with the potency of our Life experience we creatively explore ways that the energy of emotions naturally move through our bodies.
The non verbal, dynamic expression of emotion is as natural to Life as breathing, but we commonly hold our breath, freeze our bodies and repress our feelings. Whilst still children we develop personal defences to the organic expression of what is moving in us, and so stop the flow of life energy with old stories we keep telling ourselves and barely hear.
Bones, breath, and muscles are a deep repository of our life journey which reveal much about who we are, where we have come from, what we need, what we fear, and what we have to give. The “Open Floor” process supported by the movement through many maps of the rhythms allows us as a group to release, reclaim and review our relationship to daily life.
This workshop is a profound shared meditation which uplifts and unifies all who participate.
