5-Rhythms Workshop with Kate Shela

The 5 Rhythms are a moving medicine wheel that guide you deeply into the inner landscapes of your body, mind and heart and invite you to physicalize the stories held in these places. Allowing yourself the opportunity through movement to arrive at a place of equanimity. Gabrielle Roth, the creator of the practice says that “if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself” and she saw that most western minds found it challenging to simply sit and find peace and just as yoga was created to loosen the body in preparation for sitting meditation, Gabrielle saw that we were governed by beat and bang and the 4 by 4 beat of rock and pop. She believes that if we engage our minds and drop into the beat we will find the still point we are all longing for.

This practice is not just for ” Dancers”, this work is for all bodies, backgrounds, shapes and sizes. All ages and physical abilities. Truly, it simply requires some curiosity and some willingness to explore what is just beneath our skin. To allow many musical landscapes to guide you through the map of the Rhythms which are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.

This is a laboratory of seeing oneself with fascination. To meet oneself and others in all our humanity.
Movement is our mother tongue, it is our first language and 80% of our communication is physical.
So come and unwrap the stories that are tattooed into your blood and allow your creativity to rise up into physical form.

No registration necessary, just show up.
Cost: Donation only.

“Kate Shela is the most wonderful, inspiring, fun, bullshit-detecting, provocative teacher. If you want a real experience of the transformational powers of the 5Rhythms, here she is.”
