Dance Friday Freedom Weekend Class 5Rhythms with Margaux Skalecki

Dance Friday/Freedom Weekend Class 5 The 5 Rhythms®: A Shamanic Journey The 5Rhythms ® is an ecstatic moving meditation practice. Gabrielle Roth channeled the 5Rhythms in the 1960s and by the 1990s they created a movement revolution throughout the world. The 5Rhythms® are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness . When we put them all together a Wave of movement and music merge and we find all the ebbs and flows of our inner and outer compass. Giving ourselves permission to surrender into our own exploration as we move into each Rhythm and ride the wave of life. All levels of movement experience are welcome Wear soft soled shoes, non slip socks or bare feet Wear clothing to easily move in. Bring layers of clothing as body temps can fluctuate Bring a notebook and pen if you’d like. Bring your Curiosity Margaux Skalecki Medicine Dancer.
