“Festival of Fridays 2019” – Guest teachers: this week Reem Behzad (Bristol) – Sweat Your Prayers
This Friday: Reem Behzad (from Bristol)
February 22, 8pm-10:30pm
(Sweat Your Prayers®)
Reem wowed us on The Deepening workshop with her fab warmup sessions – now we have a chance to dance a couple of full Waves with her… as well as give her a wonderful Bristolian send-off as she heads off to take the 5 Rhythms back to her homeland of Qatar. (More from Reem follows)
– This Friday, usual place, usual time.
Reem’s latest 5 Rhythms Teacher Profile:
Originally from Qatar where I intend to take this practice back to. Sweat Space holder from 2016. Graduated as a 5Rhythms Teacher in 2018.
The 5 Rhythms gives us the tools to un-learn what we know, to empty out in order to let something different in. The first time I felt compassion for myself was on the dance floor. The first time I could separate enough from my very convincing thoughts to truly witness my patterns and dive with divine wonder into total presence and connection, was on the 5 rhythms dance floor. The dance expands my capacity for empathy, evolves my awareness, fluidity and my ability to surrender. As a puppeteer and Waldorf teacher this has massively heightened my aptitude in my work. If you value freedom in all its forms, dance. Because a liberated body is a liberated heart and mind.
