Meredith is off to Adelaide to offer a 1 day workshop in Aldinga this Sunday, September 6.
Dancing the 5Rhythms Movement Mandala.
An embodiment map of
Body, Heart, Mind, Soul & Spirit..

Movement Mandala is a taster into the breadth and depth of the 5Rhythms Cosmology. A simple yet profound map that brings a deep sense of wholeness.

I am very grateful to my colleague and dedicated local 5Rhythms teacher Rivka for her invitation to share my work with the Adelaide dance community.

Looking forward to moving with you 5Rhythms Adelaide !

Since "couldnt recommend it highly enough", maybe our "hippy bu****it" ain't so bu****itty after all. Better than the "pointless exercise" of "walking on hot coals" at least. 🤣 We'll take that.

In a recent Tidal Wave class, I witnessed one of those rare, special moments. In Lyrical, I played Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’ and a room of dancers spontaneously burst into the most expressive singing. It was something like a karaoke night mixed with the energy of a 4 year old’s party…
Why are these moments so rare?
We become self-conscious? Think too much? Fear what others will think? Work too hard? Take life too seriously, carrying responsibility like a heavy weight?
How do we capture these precious moments, unencumbered by judgement? Around a campfire with friends, singing old pop songs at the top of my voice, I am blissfully unconcerned of what others will think or say. Lost in the joy of the moment, the love of pure creative experience.

Join me and play into the hearts of our inner child. Let us be our most creative and authentic selves.

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.
