5Rhythms New Year Visioning Dance with Michelle Mahrer & Olivia Rosebery Jan 4

New Year New Beginnings A fresh start It brings me great joy to be offering my first dance here as a new resident of the northern rivers. The new year is here Alive with freshness Spaciousness Quietness And Purity A promise of new beginnings There is quietness in the air, A space to pause, rest and renew. Before us stretches another year like a blank canvas to be filled with our dreams and prayers. I am delighted to invite you to come together on the conscious dance floor to welcome the new year in community, to connect with the purifying energies of the new year inviting cleansing, healing, and spaciousness. A luscious journey of 5Rhythms movement meditation to connect with the body, open the heart and awaken the spirit. In the first dance wave we drop into the body, into the present moment and move with what is here to be met, acknowledged and transformed. The invitation is to work with the breath, slowness, ease and spaciousness to drop deeper into presence and rest. A wave of deep nourishment and renewal. In the second dance wave we open into the unified field to vision, dream and receive. I am delighted to be joined by local song woman and sound healer Olivia Rosebery who welcomes a deep remembrance in us all with her deep earthy sonic magic, weaving flute, voice, crystal bowl and percussion. Olivia Rosebery will weave in songs of prayer and upliftment, and complete our dance with a nourishing relaxing sound journey.
