WORKSHOPS

The 5Rhythms is a dynamic movement practice, a dance beyond a dance. Workshops offer a container to dive into the 5Rhythms map and explore the tapestry of our lives.

    Again and again we find ourselves reshaping, reforming and rebuilding. We break through our patterns but are also undone by them.

ESSENCE

ITALY

25-28 JULY 2024

  • What is it to be connected to your essence? To move, dance and live from a place that is essential to yourSelf…

    Join MariaSole Ingravallo and Tim Barnes, Certified 5Rhythms Dance Teachers, for a transformative retreat this July in the idyllic Italian countryside.

    Over four days we’ll harness the dance to shed layers, ignite the divine spark and reveal our raw truth. Our journey is one in which we set sail for the ecstasy of life knowing that at the core of our being we can overcome any wave.

    Alongside dancing the 5Rhythms every day, we will be enriching and grounding our journey together by drawing on our respective somatic and tantric backgrounds. Using our perspectives to help see past that which isn’t essential, to edge beyond dualities, and find the fullness in the emptiness. Ensuring each session, set within one of Italys’ most gorgeous retreat centres, is truly full.

  • There are 10 “super early bird” places available in total across either accommodation until 30th April or they sell out.

    €315 shared accommodation

    €375 private accommodation

  • WE ALL HAVE BODIES MADE FROM THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR UNIVERSE. IN THIS WAY, THE ELEMENTS EXIST INSIDE OF US IN BOTH A REAL AND SYMBOLIC NATURE. OUR INDIVIDUAL CONNECTION TO THEM DEFINES OUR EXISTENCE AND OUR DANCE.

    *

    SO WHAT IS IT TO FIND OUR GROUND?

    CAN WE IGNITE OUR FIRE WHEN NEEDED?

    OR SWEAT OUR PRAYERS THROUGH DANCE?

    ALLOW THE SACRED NATURE OF OUR BREATH?

    AND EXPAND INTO OUR TRUE SELF?

DANCER ON BODY|SANCTUARY WORKSHOP:

“Time stopped!

I was danced into new spaces not visited before.

Thank you for guiding my steps further along this exquisite and never ending pathway.”

DANCER ON BODY|SANCTUARY WORKSHOP:

“I felt held, seen, safe and welcomed… Tim's music and gentle guidance were a balm to my soul and body, enabling me to explore and challenge my own ideas of grounding and boundaries. Really looking forward to the next one.”

DANCER ON SHADOW DANCER WORKSHOP:

“it was my first dance workshop and a full 8 hours seemed like a big commitment…  Luckily for me the quest for self overrode the ego!

I'm so glad I came. 

I learned a lot, and I deeply appreciated the way that TIM guided the experience.  GIVING just enough cues to generate direction AND deep understanding, and just enough space to allow a personal unfurling.“

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.” 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)

DANCER ON BODY|SANCTUARY WORKSHOP:

“The teaching felt  inviting, gentle and fun..loved it.

7 years of child carrying shifted from my shoulders and back a little.

It was so nourishing to do something for myself although I was fragile; I was in the right light space with beautiful people, music and co-creation of movement expression.”

DANCER ON SHADOW DANCER WORKSHOP:

I've been a passionate 5Rhythms dancer for over 25 years. I attended simply looking forward to another day of good music, folk and dance. So, I was rather wrong footed by TIM’S well crafted and held workshop, SHADOW DANCER. It was both enlightening and delicious, as we explored the shadow side of how we dance through our rhythms!”
