Sound and Silence
A 5 Rhythms® Movement Workshop with Barbara Sellars Saturday, February 15th 2020 10.30 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. In the Moment Studio, 72 Berkeley St., Glasgow, G4 7DS Cost: £40 if booked by February 8th/ £50 thereafter |
What happens when the body and breath, moving in silence, are touched by music; a gentle invitation to meet a partner who has come to seek out not just the body but also the heart? Where does this dance take us? What stories become manifest? And when the music leaves, what lies in the territory of silence, where the breath, the beat of the heart and the whisper of the body moving are the only accompaniments?
In this workshop we will be moving between the realms of sound and silence, exploring our relationship as a mover to melody, rhythm and silence as partners in the dance.
There will be some witness work, so please come prepared to see and be seen.
To book: A cheque for the full amount, payable to ‘Barbara Sellars’ and sent to:
Barbara Sellars, 60 Dumgoyne Avenue, Milngavie, G62 7NX (If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, please contact me for details)

Love
Andrew Holmes Glasgow Love is nourishing, warm and healing, And expansive, powerful, and unifying. We could all do with some more, And we could all give some more to others. We can get attached to the idea that it’s somehow exclusive - We have to find the right person to love or be loved by - Or conditional - it’s only possible if we’re lucky, or good. But really it’s what our hearts are made for, And maybe even the nature of life itself. This weekend we’ll dance with some of the feelings that may have taught us to keep our hearts defended. Through the aliveness of the practice, we’ll explore opening to love - for ourselves, for another, for whoever we’re with… Finding in the flow of this energy a deeper sense of connection with life, our true nature, and ultimately Spirit. Andrew has been teaching the 5 Rhythms for more than twenty years. He studied extensively with Gabrielle Roth, and runs workshops in many countries. He lives in Stroud with his partner Sharon. “The depth and simplicity of your teaching is stunning” |
All is Full Of Love
5Rhythms Heartbeat with Alex Mackay
Edinburgh July 10-12, 2020
Deepening our dance practice through the Heartbeat maps, we will find the shapes of the essential feelings as they move through us in the moment, and transform leftover fragments of old emotion into aliveness.
We prepare the field – the emptiness in which love thrives. The power of loving means allowing a full expression of feelings in ourselves and each other, being with any feelings; fear, anger, sorrow or joy, and increasing our capacity to be true and kind to ourselves as we respond to the mystery of another.
As human beings, we are built to know what others are feeling – there is a part of the nervous system that does this but we may have trained ourselves to shut it down. It is an instinctive animal part of us worthy of our curiosity and respect. In All is Full of Love we will be seeking the conditions when we can act from instinct, inhabit intimacy, and work directly from divine intelligence. We will practice the embodiment of the heart, valuing all the times when we can say yes to love.

About Alex:
Alex has been teaching 5Rhythms Waves for over 2 decades, and trained with Gabrielle Roth to teach Heartbeat in 2006/7. She is currently one of only 2 teachers in the world to offer the archetypal workshop 'God, Sex and the Body'.
She is known for light and depth in her teaching, using few well-chosen words and opening a sense of wonder. She is energetic, embodied and creative and loves to dance with the group. This will be her first workshop in Edinburgh.
“I want to say I always love your invitation to dance just as you are - what it does for me is take away pressure to even dance the rhythms as they are meant to be danced which is such a relief when things aren’t going like you think they should!! this means that your workshop is always fun for me from start to finish.”
Mira, Minorca
“I really liked how direct, insightful, straight and tender yet decisive and straight forward you were. I found that calming and invigorating.
As well I loved your music - you had beautiful songs. Punky, fun, exhilarating, lifting songs as well as deeply touching, sphere transforming, grounding and nurturing songs. To me it was one of my most wonderful and intimate experiences I had in my life. I felt so much bliss, joy, admiration for myself and everybody else. I felt so at home and secure and content.”
