It is time to let go of the cluttered thoughts and drop into your body.
This Sunday, explore different ways and Waves of 5Rhythms Dance in Geelong.
In connection and collaboration, we will meet ourselves where we get lost and return home to our bodies.
I am looking forward to sharing the dance floor with you all on Sunday, and offering an introductory welcome dance on Saturday night.
What a gift it is to be offering this workshop with my friend & colleague 5Rhythms with Evelyn.
I am grateful for the opportunity to share this practice in a new place, Destination Happiness, with new faces and in new ways.
David

David took a winding path – juggling jobs as an editor, health professional, project manager, songwriter, community musician, performer and facilitator and when he became a father, he supported Meredith’s path as a 5Rhythms teacher.
In 2011, the call to teach came and he was part of the last training group to work with Gabrielle Roth, a decade after Meredith.
Since that time he has transformed the weekly class Meredith started into the ‘Tsunami Wave’ – a deep catalytic journey at times hosting over 150 dancers. His humour, storytelling, and passion for the embodiment of the 5Rhythms, engages both newcomers and long-term dancers.

We are often blessed with sunny Sunday morning dances but not today. It’s a wet, cloudy, grey day as we head down the highway. Come warm your souls, dancing in community in the Sunday Sweat at St Bs from 10am. Love David & Meredith

Dancing Waves helps the nervous system to settle so we can tap into a whole body experience of listening for what we need. Clear direction can start to emerge.
This workshop will explore 5 directions within the 5Rhythms map. 5 simple, physical, invigorating approaches to expanding our movement repertoire and enhancing our experience on the dance floor, and hopefully, in life.
