5Rhythms – New Beginnings
Move Workshop
We will be exploring the theme of new beginnings through dance. Our dance journey will be inspired by an atmospheric live soundscape of didgeridoo, drums, handpan, guitar, flute and voice culminating with a relaxing and healing sound journey. 5Rhythms dance is a powerful movement meditation practise that frees the body, opens the heart and clears the mind.
The aim is to offer a deeply nourishing, uplifting, healing and transformative workshop for participants that will deepen their connection to themselves and each other. Participants will leave with a deeper sense of wellbeing as well as new insights which will assist them for this new year. One of the premises of an energetic model of the universe which 5Rhythms dance is part of, is that when we heal and connect with ourselves, we are also helping to heal our environment and our relationships with others.
