Visudha will lead an in-depth investigation of each of the rhythms of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms™ movement practice. Drawing upon shamanic and Sufi sacred traditions, the rhythms are a powerful and deceptively simple way to transform ourselves into the fullest embodiment and manifestation of our essential selves. We do this through the practice of cultivating greater awareness by listening to, and moving our bodies, ultimately accessing the infinite source of wisdom within.
In each of the five sessions, we will deepen our practice by exploring the 'Wave' -- in which our journey will traverse through the rhythms of flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness-- while focusing intentionally on one rhythm. Each rhythm has the possibility of catalyzing specific states of being.
Being based in the infinite wisdom of our bodies, there are no steps to learn. We remember our natural rhythms through the practice of inviting movement into our physical bodies again and again.
1st Series, February 7: Letting In. In the rhythm of flow, we will focus on creating more fluidity in our physical bodies being receptive to what shows up in our dance. Drawing from the energy of mother earth we will explore grounding and rooting.
2nd Series, March 7: Letting Out. In the rhythm of Staccato we will dance to the pulse of the heartbeat expressing what is true in the moment. By exploring the dance of contraction against the dance of expansion we will discover the ways in which we limit ourselves, and the ways in which we express ourselves powerfully.
3rd Series, April 4: Letting Go. In the rhythm of Chaos we intentionally fuse the rhythms of Flow and Staccato into a dance of releasing what no longer serves us. Surrendering to the beat, we will be carried away, emptying our minds and moving stuck energy. By creating more space in our beings, we find our way to our true knowing and our personal presence expands welcoming our authentic selves.
4th Series, May 2: Letting Go of Letting Go: In the exploration of Lyrical we will lighten up and disappear. In the act of disappearance we access our vast creativity and infinite possibilities revealing our essential self.
5th Series, June 6: Letting Be: In Stillness we will seek the divine still point, a place of deep centeredness, coming into the field of deep silence and the sweet territory of wholeness and holiness.
