5Rhythms: Healing Waters - Waves of Reconciliation & Resilience
Douglas Drummond with live percussion Sanga of the Valley & Nick Ayers
Join us for this 5Rhythms workshop with Douglas Drummond, Sanga of the Valley and Nick Ayers. This moving meditation workshop is anchored in the themes of reconciliation and resiliency as a powerful medium for healing and empowerment. This is an opportunity for individuals to work, unconditionally, with the themes of reconciliation by moving together towards harmony and resilience by embodying receptivity, strength and perseverance through the 5Rhythms practice.
Reconciliation and resiliency are crucial for personal growth (self), social cohesion (partnerships), and collective progress (group).
Reconciliation fosters healing and understanding, allowing individuals and communities to move beyond conflicts. Through our movement we tend to our own inner garden, promoting empathy, forgiveness, and the rebuilding of trust that lays the foundation for healthier relationships and stronger communities.
Resiliency equips individuals with the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. It enables people to bounce back from setbacks, overcome challenges, and maintain well-being amidst difficult circumstances. By nurturing resiliency, in our own unique style and pace, we can navigate life's ups and downs with greater confidence, perseverance, and optimism.
Our Dance has the power to bring people together and create a sense of belonging within ourselves, in partnership, and as a group. We welcome all, irrespective of prior experience in the 5Rhythms, and honor individuals from diverse backgrounds as we come together to share experiences, stories, and perspectives.
“Rhythm is our universal mother tongue. It’s the language of the soul.”
