'Roots & Wings, is one of my favourite workshops.' Neil
Easily accessible & gorgeously immersive for both newcomers to the practice and experienced dancers.
Roots & Wings
Sunday 19th October 11am - 6pm
St Thomas Church Hall, Church Road, Exeter, EX2 9BQ
We are earth, embodied, rooted yet free to flow, grow and unfold. Through the 5Rhythms dance the invitation is to discover how energy moves through the body in rhythms and waves. Rising from stillness, the wave moves us, expresses through us, releases and expands us from the roots to the wings and back again.
​
"Once your body surrenders to movement,
your soul remembers to dance." Gabrielle Roth
​
This day will support you into a deeper inquiry and unfolding of the mystery of the rhythms of flowing and lyrical. You will access both your roots and wings, feeling the earth, the ground of your being and the expansive possibilities offered by spirit as you open to the lightness of the dance through body and breath.
Dance, fire and ritual on Saturday with time on Sunday to dance and integrate. Wildways is a rustic woodland retreat centre close to the land. We have warm, comfortable spaces for dancing, eating and hanging out as well as sauna, stone circle, celtic roundhouse and real fires.
Sleeping spaces are communal or choose camping on the land. There are a limited number of solo spaces or for couples. We bring food to share. Workshop will begin Friday eve with a shared supper at 6.30pm
-----------------
Entering into the spirit of Samhain (Halloween) we honour the journey of life and acknowledge the process of death as part of the eternal cycle as represented by the seasons. 5Rhythms is cyclical and here we are able to take stock of the year as it turns. We enter the dark half of the year, at this gateway to winter we will come together to celebrate in community as we individually reap the harvest of the year and give thanks to those who have been before. Come join us on this sacred land as we dance with each other and with the Ancestors.
Prices from £225 till October 19th, £250 after
£55 Earlybird - £65 standard.
Concession price £45, Supporter Ticket - £70.00
Unity
Falling together
Bristol - November 29th
​
A day workshop to explore how the practice of the 5Rhythms supports us to to find ourselves at home in the body, connected to others and a part of something much bigger. Come and join us for this exploration of self discovery in good company for a day of dance in Bristol
​
"The dance is not where we lose ourselves. But where we find ourselves." Gabrielle Roth
​
When we practice the 5Rhythms we invite all the parts of our body into movement, to the 'One Dance'. Piece by piece we find ourselves, yet faced with the fear of falling apart we may try to 'hold it all together'. Yet it is through the practice that we learn to trust and discover that chaos may actually be the place we can truly let go and allow ourselves to fall together. Unity
