Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance. ~ Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms is a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion, it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures, and age groups.
The 5Rhythms Wave is a continual cycle of the rhythms - Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness®. It is a map toward self-discovery, embodiment and change. It is a map of our emotions, the archetypes, the relational process, the healing process and more. It is a map that can help us to locate where we are, how we got there, and where we are going.
Each rhythm brings its own medicine and metaphor. EXPLORATION is a monthly inquiry into the unique essence of each of the 5Rhythms and its relationship to the wave map. Consciously moving each rhythm through our own body, with others and in a group, expands our awareness, empowers our choice-making, and awakens what is possible.

Gail’s home rhythm is Staccato; her deepest discovery dancing the rhythm wave has been flow, her current life learning is finding ease in the surrender of chaos, and her greatest joy is the integration of her life journey into the lyrical stage of her life cycle.
This workshop welcomes both complete beginners and experienced movers. There is no choreography to get right, and no dance experience or ability is necessary, just a willingness to move and explore the familiar and unknown.
