Sundance - An Outdoor Dance with Gloria Glo & Shauna Devlin

Sundance is our way of meeting the season fully — outdoors, barefoot, in the last gold light of the day. A return to what summer asks of the body: less holding, more moving. Less thinking, more feeling the sun while it's here.

These gatherings are a great opportunity to stoke the fire of aliveness, not only in the body, but deep in the soul. Moving outside, in the freedom of your own dance, surrounded by an amazing community of movers and shakers, Sundance is a one-of-a-kind experience.

We will move through two 5Rhythms@ waves, offered back to back by Gloria and Shauna, with the invitation of simply being part of something magical together.

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.

Guided by a deep love of rhythm in all its forms, she curates experiences that move bodies and hearts alike, blending the sacred with the visceral. Her classes are living rituals—meticulously designed to open the heart, ignite passion, and invite participants into their own embodied stories. With 13 years of dancing 5Rhythms, the practice has deeply shaped her life and awakened the artist within, fueling her devotion to music across genres and her ability to compose experiences that are both tender and electrifying.
