Continuing our series of Heartbeat explorations, Geordie is very happy to offer this 3-day workshop at the stunningly beautiful Mana Retreat Centre in Coromandel.
It is not necessary to have participated in other Heartbeat workshops to attend this event as each workshop is a stand-alone experience. All welcome! It is, however, very helpful for participants to have a solid grounding in the basics of the 5Rhythms dance practice as taught in Waves level classes.
In this third Heartbeat workshop we will explore the dance of the vulnerable heart. It is one of life’s great paradoxes when we discover that we are so much more powerful when we are present and vulnerable than when we are defended, separate and cut off, yet, given the choice, we do everything possible to run away from our tender feelings of loss, disappointment, vulnerability, failure and defeat, when in fact these are among the very treasures that can connect us to a heightened sense of intimacy and connectedness with others and all of Life.
Together we will use the elements of our beautiful 5Rhythms dance practice – movement, music and awareness – to open up more freedom and space in our bodies and in our hearts as we explore how we can move with and integrate the losses or unresolved challenges of our lives, so that they may bring us to that beautiful state of connection, grounded insight, understanding, empathy, compassion and intimacy that we all long for – a state of presence and awareness in which we are capable of being truly touched by Life and Love.
Heartbeat is a prerequisite for those who wish to pursue 5Rhythms teacher training or higher levels of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms work. All are welcome to attend.
I look forward to sharing this experience with you all – held in the arms of the great Mama.
