In-Rhythm HeartBeat(TM) with Bernadette Ryder

“RHYTHM CIRCLE” 

Weekly closed group, Thursdays 
Central Bristol, Sept-Dec 2025 

Waves/Heartbeat™ dance journey 
with Bernadette Ryder

Would you like to take your 5Rhythms® practice deeper, in the company of a supportive regular group of committed dancers? Have you considered joining Rhythm Circle, our closed group, re-starting next week? 

We gather weekly in Bristol on Thursday evenings, to connect and support one another to drop deeper in the dance and expand the experience, comprehension and embodiment of the profound 5Rhythms® map(s). And this term, we’ll be diving a little deeper, into the Heartbeat™ map 🙂

A Waves/Heartbeat(TM) journey with Rhythm Circle 
Weekly closed group, Thursdays 
(Sept-Dec 2025) 

FEAR ANGER GRIEF JOY COMPASSION ®

The Purpose of the 5Rhythms Heartbeat(TM) map is to release the heart from its history – the old feelings that have been locked in our limbs or frozen in our chest – beginning to shake them loose and release an expanded emotional maturity and spontaneity. 

As we become comfortable with allowing and giving expression to feelings, neither getting attached, nor denying them, we discover how to transform the energies of the heart, and the power of a heart fully able to feel and respond with love. 

“Feelings are the language of the heart, but we have silenced them. We talk about feelings, we think about feelings, but when we actually feel them, we get so scared we immediately shove them back into the deepest chambers of our hearts. Yet none of us wants to be numb. We long to connect. We long to be real. We long to be intimate.”
~Gabrielle Roth (from “Connections”)
