There are no steps to follow, you are invited to follow your own dance, guided by a journey through the 5Rhythms movement map of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness that together create a wave. When we enter the flow of our own dance, our mind begins to relax, and the deeper dance of our heart and soul begins to open. We are invited to dance with whatever is present, welcoming all parts of ourselves, allowing release and transmutation of stuck energy that is ready to be transformed. This movement map brings us back into our centre, to connect with our inner resources, the part of us that is fully alive, fully connected to source, and the rejuvenating energies of the universe. Authentic Movement is a powerful process created by Dance Therapists Mary Whitehouse and Janet Adler where we move in the presence of a witness or a group. One person is the mover and is invited to follow movement that is arising from within with their eyes closed, in the presence of a witness. The witness offers the mover their full attention and presence creating a crucible of safety and trust that helps the mover connect to their deeper truth and vulnerability. Powerful shifts and insights often emerge in this process where the feeling of being seen and held, facilitates healing. When we gather together with sisters in a sacred container held with intention we step into a potent cohesive energy where we are held by the group energy. In this holding, though Can soften and relax This dance is open to all. All levels of ability and all ages are also welcome. No movement experience is necessary. TESTIMONIALS “As soon as I arrived into Michelle’s dance space, I felt all of me was welcome. It was a deep relief to feel that my tears, my joy, my closure, my openness, my ferocity, my love was all held with unspoken reverence. What this meant for me was a deep let go into the core of my experience and a shift in my capacity to hold more of my world - both inner and outer. Michelle brings a passion and devotion that is tangible to her spaces. It is so wonderful to have a wise woman space to return to to explore the current of life as it moves through me. I appreciated every rich moment.” Kate Dumaresq “I can’t recommend Michelle’s Womens Group enough. Throughout the series, I felt really seen and heard by the collective of dancers and I revealed myself to myself as I was revealing myself to them. Never before have I experienced such a profound relationship to the sanctuary of my own body. I’ve kept the drawings I’ve made during the sessions as a precious treasure and pathway to my subconscious: secret messages keep revealing themselves to me everytime I look at them. As Michelle says so beautifully: “The only way out is in!” Lina “Being inherently shy for most of my life, the thought of being witnessed in my dance scared me, and even more so online via zoom, yet I knew it was for me. Michelle attracted the right people to ensure a safe container without judgement and I found myself overcoming enough resistance and fear to get out of my comfort zone and reach my edge so much so that I even surprised myself. I felt a great sense of freedom in my vulnerability and afterwards. I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s willing to dive deep and reap the rewards which are priceless.” Maria FACILITATOR BIO Michelle Mahrer is a 5Rhythms dance teacher, dance therapist, and embodiment coach who specialises in empowering women to step into their power, and authentic expression.
