Journey to the Heart – Residential 5 Rhythms Workshop Series – Rhossili 2020
5 Rhythms Dance is a dynamic movement meditation, a process of surrender to the flow of your own energy through dance. The effect of regular practice is an awakening of self-awareness and a redressing of the imbalances of modern life.
* WORKSHOP SERIES CANCELLED DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS *
PAGE FROM OLD WEBSITE RETAINED FOR INTEREST/RECORD
(some elements may not display correctly, and content may be inconsistent!)
Since the government expects the latest restrictions to last for at least 6 months, and they are likely to get tighter before they get looser again, we have taken the sad decision to cancel Journey to the Heart for 2020/2021.
It will be back!
For this reason, and because we plan to run some standalone workshops at the same venue later in 2021, we have left this page in place, so that you can see how wonderful it is – please see Workshops (on Home page) for updates and how to receive details of future workshops as soon as they are published.
Journey to the Heart
Awakening the dance between Body, Heart and Mind
This 4 part programme, held in the stunning landscape of the Gower, will take us on an exploration of the subtle, yet hugely potent dance between body, heart and mind. For most, the dance plays out beneath the radar of our awareness – running patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour so entrenched we suppose them to be innate:
- Loving the Body
- Moving the Emotions
- Bridging Mind & Heart
- Your Heart in the World
Through focusing our dance practice in the landscape of the heart – exploring its shades, shadows, moods and emotions – the patterns begin to reveal themselves. Such enquiry expands emotional intelligence, and bestows the language and tools needed to fathom the mind/heart dynamic – where habits of thought and belief shape our attitude and therefore our moods.
Such awareness exposes the potential of choice. Cultivating the capacity to choose our felt responses to life is a key to emotional freedom – where the exercise of choice in our moment to moment attitude, is a practice in itself – and happiness can become our norm.
“The Quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight.”
Julia Cameron
The workshops can now be done individually, but they will also build on each other – progressively unveiling the subtle dance between body, heart and mind, its impact on our quality of life, and our capacity for choice in how we experience life’s waves.
We’ll again be no more than 25 dancers – read some feedback from previous workshops.
