“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.
Please arrive at 9:00 AM. Latest entry 9:30 AM.
Please respect the community’s intention and integrity by arriving on time
