Heartbeat - Motion & Heart with Richard Jerram

‘Heartbeat’ is the second level of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms®: -the map for freeing the heart.

The 5Rhythms practice enlivens us through conscious movement, and we cannot be alive without feeling. Feelings happen, with or without our consent. They are there to empower and serve us. But their power can overwhelm us so we end up stuck with feelings, or clinging to them, or resisting, repressing or denying them. That saps our vitality and limits our freedom and joy. In this workshop we shall explore some of the ways that feelings shape us and some of the ways they move us when we let them. Above all, we shall give them room to breath and move as we dance them through the 5Rhythms.

We will be ground our explorations in the physical practice of the 5Rhythms ‘Wave’ and you will need experience of moving through the ‘Wave’ to participate (we suggest a minimum of 12 hours). In this short workshop there will be no time to introduce or demonstrate the 5Rhythms. 5Rhythms is not therapy. Use whatever therapeutic support best serves you and allow quiet time afterwards to absorb and process what your body finds on the dance floor.
