“In that surrender, I move closer to the energy that moves through everything... I just learn to let it move me, as opposed to myself or my ego moving me” GABRIELLE ROTH

SPRUNG FLOOR
CENTRAL HEATING
JUICY SOUNDSYSTEM
this autmn equinox we come together to explore how notions of embodied surrender aid the path of truly letting go, releasing, shedding, shaking, dissolving, erupting and embracing the wild body
we live in a world of doing, acting, consuming and pushing but something deep inside of us often longs to simply let it all go
join me for a day of easing into true release - an EXPLORATION into the eye of the storm - a place the 5Rhythms calls chaos
*
if we spend too long in our life and our movement pushing forwards it can all become performative, exhausting and eventually empty
shadows raise their head and things soon becomes inert, tense, confused, distracted and numb
Our remedy, found in this movement practice, is the art of surrender
*
surrendering has nothing to do with giving up and everything to do with allowing energy to move through you
*
this surrendering leads us to the true ecstasy of movement, but it must come from our deep centre and EMANATE out
and so it is this wild and sacred core of our being that we will be connecting with and calling upon to fully embody our lifes journey, our dance, our sweat and our breath
“Once your body surrenders to movement, your soul remembers its dance” Gabrielle Roth

Are you from a typically less represented community within 5R classes and workshops? (The feeling of: “there aren’t many me’s on the dance floor,” where you decide what “me” is. Perhaps age, ability, race, size, gender, sexuality, income etc…) I’d love to make it more possible for you to attend the classes and workshops I hold. Sometimes it’s a money thing, sometimes it’s something else…
My first step is that all classes have a concession price; and I hold the “early bird price” on workshops for under 30s throughout.
If you need a second step, please send me an email about what you’d like to come to so we can work towards a solution together. Your communication is confidential and held with heart. We can do this!
(As I fumble through this, please also feel free to suggest a better wording that has the same good intentions I do)
