Gateways: A 5Rhythms & Mindfulness New Year Eve Retreat

DESCRIPTION

GatewaysA 5Rhythms® & Mindfulness New Years Retreat

With Lucia Horan & Douglas Drummond

Dance into the new year!

Come to dance and be danced! Move until you are moved. Dance until the dancer disappears and only the dance remains. - Gabrielle Roth

The gateway of the body is a powerful vessel that allows us to move and be moved. Together we will dance into and through the gateway of the new year, crossing the thresholds of past, present and future. We will honor the darkness of this season, while igniting the light of prayer and hope for the future. Dance out of distraction and into the focused space of collective movement medicine.

If we have the courage to move the body, the heart and mind can follow. Come open the gateway of your body by unlocking presence and potential. Come see what is waiting for you on the other side. The 5Rhythms teaches us skills and tools to use in our everyday life that help us facilitate the union of presence based awareness.

The 5Rhythms is a moving meditation practice. The rhythms, Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness®, allow us to explore the true nature of who we are and how our energy moves in this world.

In this workshop we will integrate the practices of mindfulness with the moving meditations of the 5Rhythms®. In the 5Rhythms, we engage in mindfulness while in motion as a pathway to externalize energy. While seated meditation allows the space for the quiet, integration of the nervous system. The two polarities of moving and sitting meditation together mirror the dance of life and open the door to cultivate peace, well being and balance.

No experience is required. All workshop hours contribute to 5Rhythms® teachers training prerequisites.
