5Rhythms®Colors of Loss Body Symphony Beginning a New

Advertisement

So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there. Nor are we in touch with the basic rhythms that constitute our bodily life. We live outside ourselves - in our heads, our memories, our longings - absentee landlords of our own estate. My way back into life was ecstatic dance. I re-entered my body by learning to move myself, to dance my own dance from the inside out, not the outside in. Gabrielle Roth 5 rhythms founder .

This magical workshop is for those who would prefer an immersive experience whilst exploring their grief and losses in community and how using creative rituals and movement can assist in transitioning from loss to a future with meaning. Honouring their memory in a special way is our way of keeping them close. We can’t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it .

We can dance for laughter
We can dance for tears
We can dance for madness
We can dance for fears
We dance for screams
We are the dancers we create the dreams Albert Einstein

You’re also invited to bring items to our weekend that symbolize your grief, which helps to foster a sense of community and collective healing, through the passionate form of self-expression .Once enrolled we will advise what to bring .

We will celebrate the wisdom of your body and nourish the resources you have in your life together in community. Collaborating and engaging our bodies on the dance floor . Giving time to lean into our bodies and acknowledge what has gone and why it may continue to hurt .

Exploring and Experience that grief through your own individual expressive movement process on the dance floor.

Practicing supporting and connecting listening and dancing your own full juicy expression .

This workshop is a place to get together with others navigating grief and losses and to engage with our experiences through expressive movement and journalling . It is for those who feel drawn to expressive movement and writing as an alternative way of marking loss and honoring everyone in their own grief journey .

All welcome, wherever you are on your grief and loss journey. No dance or writing experience necessary. While some of the exercises will offer suggestions of ways to move, you are welcome to move your body as much or as little as feels comfortable and in whichever ways that feel right for you.

Testimonial The Grief and Loss workshop that Suzie facilitated last year was at the time a game changer for me .She is a wise wonderful compassionate facilitator. I was incredibly grateful for the safe empathetic space she provided during a very challenging time .I felt heard and supported by all that attended the weekend workshop .The shared dances and the nurtured experience through the expressive movement processes have become invaluable for my ongoing bereavement process I am still incredibly grateful for this grief and loss workshop offering . Before attending, I felt lost and isolated, but the 5 rhythms workshop allowed me to share my story and connect with other participants who were experiencing similar challenges. I left the workshop with an incredible uplifting sense of hope and the gift of a renewed sense of strength. Dianne W
