“Sweat Your Prayers®” – this Friday night

October 26, 8pm-10:30pm

To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self.
Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release
your past. The more you dance… the more you sweat, the more you
pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.
— Gabrielle Roth

This Friday is the last of the month – join us to ‘Sweat Your Prayers’
– A guided warm-up then a wave with no words, simply moving through the
5 Rhythms® with music as our guide.
Usual time, usual place, cafe after (details also below).

… and … some exciting new dates for your diary 😀

See you on the dance floors 🙂

Autumn Equinox (drop-in)
Sept 21, 8pm-10:30pm

When day equals night, and the nights lengthen the fastest – let’s dance our balancing acts, while riding the changes – summer into autumn, light into dark, outside and inside… and, as a “festival of in-gathering”, our gratitude for all of it.
🔗 Where and When (usual place and time).

Last Call for The Deepening Residential Waves Intensive

Guest Teacher: Dawn Morgan (drop-in)
Friday, Sept 28, 8pm-10:30pm

We’ve arranged a little treat for those of you who can’t be with us dancing our socks off in Rhossili next week. If you’ve danced with Dawn, she needs no introduction – if you haven’t, come and experience her unique magic and playfulness. Usual time, usual place, different dance 🙂

See you on the dance floors

Hope you’ve had a great summer, and the sunny tail of it is wagging for you. As always at this time of year, lots going on as we move into a new ‘term’:

FRIDAYS – Bernadette’s Back – this Friday
Sept 7, 8pm-10:30pm

This week, we welcome Bernadette back from her holidays. Big thanks again to our guest teachers in August, and to all who welcomed them with your dances. It’s great to dance with different energies… and with what we know and love
> Where and When (usual place and time)

TUESDAYS – Rhythm Circle closed group

Our new ‘term’ starts next week on Sept 11, and we’ve space for a couple more dancers. If you’re loving the magic that can happen in ‘drop-in’ classes, there’s a space where magic happens because we choose it, through deeper individual focus, and active and conscious work with our collective energy. Read more, then do speak with us at the end of a Friday class, or call me:
> What’s so special about Tuesdays?
> Why our closed group? (video & transcript)

WORKSHOP – The Deepening Waves Intensive, Sept 26-30

The more workshops I do in other ‘maps’ (levels) of the 5 Rhythms*, the more I also value working deeply in the Waves – I am so excited at the prospect of this journey, with this group, with Bernadette (and residential too, which makes so much difference!) A couple of people have sadly had to drop out – so you can be spontaneous – maybe one of those places is yours? 🙂
Again, do come and chat after class or read more and call me:

See you on the dance floors
With love

Neil Pinnock teaching in Bristol this Friday
Aug 31, 8pm-10:30pm

Neil’s website
 Neil on 5rhythms.com

Our August ‘festival’ of different 5 Rhythms teachers completes with another visit by Neil Pinnock from Shropshire. His web address is ‘WildHeartDance’, which says a lot about his energy 🙂 Another of our favourite teachers says this about Neil:

“Neil has passion and energy and a sense of humour. He stirs up whirlwinds, and then drops through surprising doors into tenderness and vulnerability.” (Andrew Holmes)

Neil himself says:

“In classes I’m equally happy cooking up big waves, taking the powerful passion of a group through wild chaos into tender lyrical and sweet stillness. You are always welcome on my dancefloor. I hope to meet you in the midst of the wave.”

See you on the dance floor
With love
Jon,
for Bernadette, team, & all our fabulous guests xxx

P.S. A little bird tells me that we have other visitors on Friday who haven’t danced with us for a while, so do stay on for cafe afterwards and carry on catching up with old / making new friends 🙂
