A One-day Movement Lab into the Art of Presence
There is a place we touch in movement where thought dissolves and the moment expands — a state where body, breath, and awareness become one. This is flowstate: a deep current of presence that lives beneath the surface of doing, striving, or performing. This one-day 5Rhythms® workshop is designed to step into this current. To dance not just for expression, but for access — into the subtle intelligence of the body, the rhythms of the soul, and the spacious stillness that follows.
5Rhythms is a map into embodied awareness. Each rhythm — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness — offers a unique doorway into presence, and together they form the Wave: a movement meditation that leads us into the here and now. In this workshop, we’ll use the Wave as our guide to explore how flowstate arises naturally when we trust the body’s impulse, listen deeply, and surrender to rhythm. Whether you’re new to 5Rhythms or well along your path, this day is designed to open new pathways into your practice and expand your capacity for presence both on and off the dance floor.
Through a balance of movement journeys, embodied teachings, and space for integration, this workshop will support you in deepening your connection to the foundational map of the 5Rhythms. You’ll receive tools and insights to help recognize, enter, and sustain flowstates in daily life — not just in dance, but in your relationships, your creativity, and your inner world.
This is an invitation to remember what it feels like to be fully alive, fully present, and fully you.

A daylong exploration of movement as a gateway to presence
Immersions offer a potent field for healing and transformation because they allow us to step outside the habitual rhythms of daily life and enter a dedicated space where presence deepens and the body can truly listen. The shared rhythm, vulnerability, and witnessing within a group creates a resonance field where healing becomes amplified—what one releases, another remembers. In this way, immersions are not just personal journeys, but sacred grounds where collective transformation can unfold, and where we remember that we are never alone in our becoming.
Your Guide
GLORIA GLO
Gloria’s devotion to dance as a healing art began at a young age, but it was through 5Rhythms that she came home to her body in a new way. Since dancing her first Wave in 2013, she has immersed herself in the study and transmission of embodied practices—exploring how movement becomes a language for healing, transformation, and deeper connection to self and spirit.
For Gloria, 5Rhythms is a living map—a gateway into embodied awareness, emotional alchemy, and authentic expression. Through years of practice, it has become a foundation for healing and liberation, and a bridge into other creative realms such as Mandalic Visionary Art. This work also called her to co-create a Retreat Center in the heart of the Belizean jungle, where she now offers immersive retreats and embodied movement journeys.
As a certified 5Rhythms teacher, Gloria offers immersive experiences that become sanctuaries for the soul. Her spaces are woven with breath, ritual, presence, and rhythm—inviting participants to feel deeply, express freely, and reconnect with the living intelligence of the body. She holds space with reverence, guiding dancers through cycles of release, remembrance, and renewal. Whether on the dance floor or in the wild heart of the jungle, her invitation remains the same: to move into wholeness, to return to rhythm, and to remember ourselves as love in motion.
"In the flow state, we are not separate from the doing—we become the doing. The dancer becomes the dance, the singer the song, the healer the field of healing."
