5Rhythms® Workshops
|
|
Life can get very complicated: difficult, messy, challenging. Sometimes it's ourselves, sometimes it's just circumstances, often it's a real mix of both. But in the Rhythms we have a very simple practice that can hold us and even help us surf the situations we find ourselves in.
As we begin another year, we'll take a day to dance the simplicity of the Rhythms, and explore how they may help us find a greater sense of clarity in our lives.
Open to anyone who has done at least one taught class with any certified or accredited 5 Rhythms® teacher.
Cost: £40 if paid in full by Wednesday 12 December; £45 if paid in full by Wednesday 9 January; thereafter £50
Venue: The Reading Room at The Arlington Baths Club, 61 Arlington Street, Glasgow G3 6DT. (Easily accessible by bus and subway, including from Queen Street Station and Buchanan Bus Station; metered on-street parking).

Drawn to Dance - Pattern
2 and 3 February 2019
with Sarena Wolfaard and Jenny Smith
The artist Henri Matisse created beautiful patterns through colour, shape and repetition. This two-day workshop will be an embodied exploration of colour, shape and pattern, explored through the relationship between drawing, cut – outs and dance. What are our inner and outer patterns, both with self and another? How do we repeat them? What new patterns are ready to emerge?
Join us in the beautiful setting of Dalkeith Country Park for a playful, reflective and embodied exploration of pattern in its broadest sense.
“It's inspiring, exciting and fun, a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Totally non-judgemental about anyone's individual "artistic talent" and fully focused on accessing, sharing and playing with the creativity in all of us. The teachers are experienced and professional and hold the group expertly.”
Beth
“It has a much broader impact than just your dancing or drawing - in many ways it's one big metaphor for the creative process, or even for life itself.”
Nick

The Practice, The Passion, The Prayer Stockbridge House, Edinburgh EH4 1JB 16th-17th February 2019 10:30am—4:30pm Sat & Sun To Practice the Rhythms is to bring an awareness of and an attention to the body and the breath. To practice is to seek the embodiment of each Rhythm; Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. And as we move, we open the channels to feeling. We find our passion, the thrum of desire and possibility. Our dance connects us to the life force within us. And as we practice and deepen our dance, that dance becomes a prayer, ’an offering of our innermost self’ (Gabrielle Roth, Sweat Your Prayers). Our individual and collective stories find expression and release through the bone, blood and flesh of our physical being. In essence, the dance journey is a shamanic one. It is an act of soul retrieval, a deep connection to our essential self, to others and to the world we live in. You are warmly invited to this weekend of discovering the practice, releasing the passion and becoming the prayer. —————————————- |

The beautiful Isle of Mull is our venue for this summer workshop of movement and creative play. We’ll be heading out in search of buried treasure, secret soul gems waiting to be discovered.
Dancing with wind and water, making art from nature, engaging with sand, stone, wood and weed, with the sound of the waves on the shore and the call of the seabird. We’ll be playing with pastels and paint, putting pen to paper and allowing body and soul to be moved by music - and by silence. This delicious combination of wild nature, expressive arts and 5 Rhythms dance will be our treasure map. Your treasure is yours to find. It is unique to you. This will be a personal journey but in the company of a small band of fellow travellers. It will be a true holiday – i.e. holy days - sacred time out to nurture, to feed and to listen in to the soul. And, as we all know, an island is the quintessential home of buried treasure. |
