In these workshop series, we explore through 5Rhythms practice, the metaphor and medicine of each rhythm, as we take on the creative task and discover the unique power each has to offer. No prior experience is necessary and the workshops can be attended individually or as a whole series.
Whanganui
FLOWING – My Body, My Ground – Workshop completed
In this workshop, we begin to explore the vast territory of the body and the level of awareness and relationship we have to it. Using movement and metaphor as road maps, we will become more familiar with our landscapes and elements, as we discover the medicine of the first Rhythm of Flowing that brings us into our “Power of Being”
STACCATO – My Heart, my Expression – Sat 14th April 2018 10.30am -3.00pm
In this workshop, we explore what we stand for and how we relate to the world. Through movement and metaphor we will gain insight into the connection between our expression and what’s in our heart, and how to bring more clarity and respect into our relationships, as we discover and develop in the second Rhythm of Staccato, our “Power of Loving”
CHAOS – My Mind, My Intuition – Sat 23rd June 2018 10.30-3.00pm
In this workshop we will use movement and metaphor, to release what no longer serves us, practicing letting go of what is shaping us e.g. limiting thought patterns, beliefs, conditioning. Exploring the third Rhythm of Chaos, we will cultivate the ability to surrender to the possibility and power of the present, opening to intuition as our guide, as we discover the “Power of knowing” beyond the rational mind.
LYRICAL – My Soul, My Offering – Sat 15th September 2018 10.30am -3.00pm
In this workshop we will use movement to explore the medicine and metaphor of the “Lyrical” rhythm to awaken and embody the soul – the mysterious and magical self that unites body, heart and mind. Through the exploration of this rhythm, we uncover the “Power of Seeing”: seeing the difference between the self that is imprisoned by our conditioning, and our true nature in which we use our experiences as artists materials, to create ourselves as inspiring, living , moving breathing works of art and influence in our world. The rhythm teaches us how to become creators of our own reality.

STILLNESS – My Spirit, My integrity – Sat 10th November 2018 10.30-3.00pm
The rhythm of Stillness is where we integrate what we have awakened and moved through the other rhythms, in our body, heart mind and soul. It is where we find healing, our sense of wholeness – our connection to our life-force, our still point. It is where we land after dancing a wave and is from here we enter our next dance. It is a transcendent and exquisite place. The texture and quality of our experience in stillness is in direct relation to how we engage with and move through the first four rhythms. In this workshop we fully engage in all the rhythms in the exploration of the medicine and metaphor of Stillness.
