Sunday Sweat Your Prayers, Sacramento

Guest leading. More info here: https://www.centeredsacramento.com/5rhythms-dance

The Auditorium at CLARA / 1425 24th St / 10am - 12pm

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. New to this moving meditation practice? Unsure about what happens when you show up? We hope this bit of information will answer some questions.

​As soon as you enter the space the music is playing and people are moving, practicing in silence. From time to time the facilitator offers cues for focus: breath, body parts, weight, pulse, release. There are no steps to learn. There is no way to do this “wrong”.   With instruction or without, just allow your body to respond to the music in its own way. Feet are a good place to bring your attention; simply move them and tend to your breathing. Connecting with others is sometimes challenging at first. But remember that each invitation is in service to encouraging movement and exploration, medicine that reaches across all languages, cultures and age groups.

​The five rhythms are: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Each rhythm is a teacher and as you practice moving, your relationship to body, heart, mind, soul and spirit deepens. Some people feel right at home from the get-go and others feel a bit (or a lot) self-conscious. People in the room have a wide range of experience. Your own dance will be unique. It can be subtle, powerful, revealing and, over time, it can be transformative.

​Where the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe place for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

​We actively seek to create a diverse community of dancers. We value and welcome diversity of racial and cultural identity and background, nationality, sexual and affectional orientation, gender identity and its expression, religious background and/or belief systems, marital status, family structure, educational and class status.

​Creativity. Connection. Community.

Boundless Waves, 5Rhythms Berkeley

Fridays 8:15-10pm

Studio 12, Berkeley

REGISTER HERE!

“When we dance, we wake up, we get down and juicy with ourselves, we have fun and forget all the heavy sh*t we carry around. In the dance we get real, get free, get over ourselves.” - Gabrielle Roth

Boundless Waves is an offering of five 5Rhythms Certified Teachers who have over 7 decades of combined experience, and a depth and mastery in guiding others in exploration of this movement meditation practice. Each teacher will bring their unique personality and style to the dance floor, unified by their passion and trust in the transformational power of this practice.

Let’s dance beyond the habitual borders of our being, and celebrate moving together in Boundless Waves!

Held Fridays by a collective of six 5Rhythms teachers, we offer the opportunity to shake the week out in community.

Tune in, express, release, and unwind. Reset, reconnect, and recharge for the week ahead. When we dance the Waves together, we allow ourselves to practice embodying freedom.

Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness® – are states of Being. They are a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.

Everybody's welcome! There are no steps to follow, no need for experience of any movement practice or dancing skills, and no physical limitation or exclusion. If you have a body, you can dance! Please dress comfortably, ready to sweat! Bring your curiosity, a water bottle and your friends.

Please respect the community’s intention and integrity by arriving on time. The doors are closed at 8:30PM.

Sweat Your Prayers San Francisco

CLICK HERE to register!

“To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. Sweat is an ancient and universal form of self healing, whether done in the gym, the sauna, or the sweat lodge. I do it on the dance floor. The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy. -Gabrielle Roth

Sweat Your Prayers® is a gathering where we bring our individual 5Rhythms® practice and move through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness with intention and in community.

Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms® is a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.

It is a dance meditation practice with music and very minimal instruction. Everybody's welcome! There’s no step to learn, no need for experience of any movement practice or dancing skills, and no physical limitation or exclusion. We dance our own dance. If you have a body, you can dance! Please dress comfortably, ready to sweat! Bring your curiosity, a water bottle and your friends.
