About Earth~Rhythms
Long ago when humans lived in oneness with Earth, they knew how to evoke the primal forces of Nature for personal and planetary well-being. They engaged the transformational powers of sacred dance and ritual to generate life-energy and connect to the great creative energies of Mother Earth.
Through sacred dance we enter the fluidity of being alive, shattering the borders between body, heart, mind, self and Earth. In dance we fall in love with the spirit in all things, and reclaim our essential unity with the living forces of creation. Made of the Elements of Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Ether, connecting deeply with their story connects us deeply with ours.
Engulfed in the cosmic forces of creativity, Earth~Rhythms invites you into the primal play of imagination and improvisation. The Dance of the Elements, Earth-rituals, time to BE with Nature, mindfulness and felt-awareness practices strengthens a trust so deeply rooted that we remember who we are, and celebrate the emergence of our creative expression and participation within the web of life.
"We sometimes fall into the illusion that power is elsewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth. The earth oozes with power, waiting for anyone who wishes to embrace it.." Brian Swimme

Earth~Rhythms Workshop Details
Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression connecting us with spirit and self.
Intentional dance and ritual processes lets us move energy, cleanse, recharge, celebrate, connect with other life forms, pray and worship. We re-awaken our sacred relationship with Nature and therefore with ourselves.
We will explore the rich landscape of emotions as extensions and expressions of Nature, and how these ‘sacred fires' bind us to the Earth Mother, bringing us home to ourselves.
In a safe space, held within the embrace of Nature, you may experience break through as transformation is brought about on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels.

Each day will include instruction, experiential sessions, time alone, writing exercises, interactive dialogue and integration time.
Earth~Rhythms is an organic process that requires deep listening to what is needed in the moment. For this reason every Earth~Rhythms workshop is unique, depending upon the experience and needs of the participants. We encourage authentic, spontaneous and expressive explorations.
