The body is an encyclopedia of our lived experience. Our cells hold all of our suffering and celebration. Our bones and muscles move in ways that speak the truth, even when we’re not conscious of it yet…

5Rhythms with Layah @ Big Heart Dance Camp 2018!
Schedule details TBA

“The body says what words cannot.” ~ Martha Graham

What if our bodies could talk? What if we listened?
What embodied wisdom is waiting to be awakened?

5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a map to reconnect with an innate spectrum of body expression. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us. This dance is the dance of remembering. Of returning. Of allowing something deeper to move us...

Do you have the discipline to be a free spirit?"~ Gabrielle Roth
Together we will let the medicine of the 5Rhythms guide us to a deeper experience of our own dancing freedom, supported by diverse musical maps of funky grooves, soulful melodies, big thumping tribal beats, and meditative soundscapes. Come as you are, come curious, come ready to sweat, release, and reSource.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf”
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

How do we move with the waves of change that life brings? Are we thrown off? Do we cling to rickety rafts of habits of resistance?

5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice ~ a simple and catalytic map for freeing our bodies, and opening our hearts. Practiced by tens of thousand worldwide, there are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology - all we need to do is show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.

In this Big Heart Dance Camp workshop we will immerse ourselves in the 5Rhythms - exploring the physical gateways of the practice that free the body, give us a broader palette of movement expression, and awaken us to the vibrant, dynamic pulse of life moving through us.
