Drawn to Dance - LINE
13 & 14 October 2018
…..is it drawing? is it dance? or is it just life?
A two-day workshop exploring the relationship between drawing and dance, led by artist Jenny Smith and 5 Rhythms/Open Floor dance teacher Sarena Wolfaard.
In this workshop we invite you to explore how to draw with your body in dance and dance your way into drawing. We will use words, music, silence, space, paper, charcoal, pastels, pencil and explore what 'line' means to us and how we express in drawing and dancing.
No previous experience of either 5Rhythms dance or drawing needed, but if you have experience in either or both, it can only add to your palette.

Dalkeith Country Park, Edinburgh, EH22 1ST
Cost : £150
Art materials included.
Saturday: 11am – 6pm
Sunday: 11am - 4:30pm

Fierce Loving
by Adam Barley
9-11 November 2018
Glasgow
"You cannot truly make love if your anger is blocked" Ida Kelarova - School for Human Voice
Loving is fierce! At least sometimes. To truly love we have to be willing and able to be passionate, to allow the animal in us breathing space, to be able to say “Yes!” or “No!” with everything we have - body heart and mind.
The emotional energy necessary for this kind of loving is the creative side of the energy we call anger. Anger that is a big wide field of experience: not just the blame and rage that can be so destructive in relationship, but the hot-blooded, whole-hearted feeling states that range from a highly disciplined integrity to a wild fire-storm strong enough to protect our children. It's what gives us the ability to stand for something, defend innocence, to say no to bullshit whether our own or somebody else's.
Most of us didn't learn to move with this energy in creative ways, to channel it in service to love and life, staying emotionally healthy with it. Instead we have socially dysfunctional withhold/erupt patterns, with long-term suppressed anger lurking under the surface that bursts out at inappropriate moments, with an intensity and violence that's way out of proportion to the situation.
The rhythms help us regain our power with anger so we're not victims to it - either our own or other people's. To give space for our vulnerability and fears. To embody all these feelings thoroughly, without judgement. To unearth the old buried stuff and let it go. To take responsibility for our feelings and use them creatively. To rediscover anger as the magnificent natural expression of life-force that it can be. And ultimately to go through anger so deeply that it becomes a meditation, a profound dive into the mysterious heart of all things that gives us the inner authority to love even when the going gets tough, so that tenderness is sweeter and more real than it's ever been.
“It was definitely fierce and most certainly loving....potent fire....love it!”
“totally changed my dance…” “...I have more clarity and energy”
“It was fun, it was sexy, safe and exciting”
When: Friday 9 Nov 18:30-21:30
Saturday 10 Nov 11:00-18:00

Adam has been studying healing and meditation since the early 80s, and teaching the rhythms since ’93.
"I have faith in us human beings, and am passionately committed to being part of the evolutionary jump we are engaged in. I am dedicated to helping the 5Rhythms unfold their extraordinary potential for awakening, which I believe has barely begun. I’m a rock and roll monk with a love of depth, and a clear, honest, uncompromising teaching style.”
