One of my favourite quotes by Gabrielle Roth is the one where she posed the question: “You didn’t think this was about dancing, did you?”
This workshop will explore the deep wisdom that the 5Rhythms map brings to the creative process. We will move with the 5Rhythms map and bring attention to the rhythms, vibrations & frequencies of our lives.
You can join us for the Saturday workshop on Nov 7
OR just dance the Friday night on Nov 6.

“In vulnerability one practices the art of friendship, the art of the heart. It is an essential spiritual practice.” Gabrielle Roth

As a musician and songwriter I have long grappled with the creative process. The 5Rhythms have been enormously helpful to both my output, but most importantly to my mental and spiritual health along the way.
I know our community is full of creatives. I look forward to sharing some time with you, dancing and learning together.
Come and explore your creative process….
Saturday Nov 7, Frankston

Bowie once said “If you feel safe in the area that you are working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting”
So. Let's dance! Let's create and collaborate.
Join the Saturday workshop Creative DNA, November 7 in Frankston and explore your wondrous spirit.

“Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow
You must speak it til your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows and you see the size of the cloth."

A snippet of the poem 'Kindness' by Naomi Shihab Nye, A Poetry Film by Ana Pérez López.

Perhaps you know the cloth is immense … and we are all part of this weave … of deep kinship and connection with one another and the living world.

Lets be kind to ourselves and each other as we explore the terrain of Love & Loss, Oct 31 - Nov 1, Castlemaine

Have you heard of the 5 Gates of Grief by Francis Weller?

The familiar & less acknowledged ways we love and experience loss:

1st gate of Grief:
“Everything we love, we will lose; the sorrow we experience with the loss of someone or something that we love."

The 2nd gate of Grief:
“The places that have not known love.”

The 3rd gate of Grief:
“The sorrows of the world.”

The 4th gate of Grief:
“What we expected and did not receive.”

The 5th gate of Grief:
“Ancestral Grief.”

5 Gates, 5Rhythms. Come move with and through it all Oct 31 - Nov 1. Love & Loss, Castlemaine

Heartbeat is a practice in Reclaiming, Discovering, Celebrating and Restoring.

Reclaiming the parts of our life we have discarded or outcast,
Discovering unfamiliar truths and new emotional intelligence
Celebrating the integration of all we know and don’t know.
Restoring our sense of Humanity.

Join me this Saturday October 17 in Geelong, dancing the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map ❤ - Meredith

Have you ever wondered what rhythm predominates in us? Are you a flowing type, a chaotic type? Or what rhythm of people do you gravitate to? What rhythms are edgy for you? Or what feels comfortable? In this workshop we will tune into the rhythms of our lives - the DNA of our process. Our daily rituals, our working weeks, our biggest challenges.
Explore the ways that we can channel the energy of our own life waves. Listen to the gifts of each rhythm and in motion, let our creative bodies lead the way. Join David for Creative DNA on Saturday Nov 7, Frankston
