About the event
"When your body surrenders to Movement, your Soul remembers its Dance." - Gabrielle Roth
This 5Rhythms weekly class is a moving meditation through which we practice to come back to theintelligence and institual nature of our body. As an embodiment practice, we turn to the Dance as a vehicle for healing, liberation, self-expression, release, integration and connection.
No choreography, no steps to follow. The practice is to find your own authentic dance.
This is a guided class with lots of space to explore your own movement and expand into your experience within the group.
One Tribe
All welcome: No matter what race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, abilities and disabilities, shape and sizes, cultural background and languages. Age: 12+
About 5Rhythms:
Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free. Creativity. Connection. Community.
About Gloria:
As long as I can remember, I have been dancing; but It wasn’t until I found 5Rhythms, that I truly understood why I needed to dance. After dancing my first wave in 2013, I embarked on the most profound, expansive, and transformative journey through the many layers that this practice offers. Dance has become a vehicle for healing, freedom, liberation, and ecstasy.
My 5Rhythms practice has opened my body, mind, spirit, and awareness into the manifestation of Mandalic Visionary Art, and the creation of a Retreat Center in the heart of the jungle of Belize, where I host regular Immersions and Retreats. As a teacher in Training, I offer regular 5Rhythms® Sweats in Belize and Vancouver, BC. As a teacher, I offer a Sanctuary for Body and Spirit to merge. Through Breath, Presence, Ritual, and Rhythms, my invitation is to feel, remember, listen, expand, express, release, re-arrange, re-define, transform, and allow the dance to open ourselves to the infinite capacity of Love.
