5Rhythms® Dance
What is 5Rhythms® Dance?
In dancing 5Rhythms®
the body becomes our spiritual path.
~Gabrielle Roth~
The 5Rhythms® is a free style dance practice where we follow our inner dancer’s guidance in a dynamic moving meditation. There are no steps to learn or choreographic sequences to follow. Through the Rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness, we invite our bodies into conscious movement, releasing our thinking mind and tuning into the sensations of our body and our life stories residing within us.
Each dance is unique. Each dance is an opportunity to drop into mindfulness. Each dance offers a gateway to something greater than ourselves.
Over time, the 5Rhythms® practice becomes a way to move through the highs and lows of life and heal our mind-body-spirit connection. We gather on our own or in community to dance through our emotions, our life cycles, and all the experiences of our lives.

About Me
I am an alchemical Priestess– drawing upon and weaving a tapestry of wholeness from the disciplines of science, somatic embodiment, conscious dance, and traditional animist based, spiritual healing practices.
I offer gateways for integrated healing though the mind-body-spirit connection.
I blend the somatic and the sacred into dynamic movement practices, touching into the depths of the soul.
My passion is to create a grounded, safe and permissive space where our body's stories can be witnessed and healed through awareness and compassion.
My unique blend of body healing through the portals of somatic re-patterning, spirit healing, and 5Rhythms® dance is an invitation to restore vitality in all areas of your life.
