VITAL ROOTS
A 5Rhythms® Weekend of Ecstasy, Resilience & Connection
with Douglas Drummond,
& musicians Sanga of the Valley and Nick Ayers
Vital Roots is a weekend immersion into the body’s innate intelligence—an exploration of how vitality arises when we are grounded, connected, and responsive to life as it is.
Through the five rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—we explore vitality not as something to be achieved or sustained through effort, but as a capacity to return: to sensation, to choice, to relationship, and to the present moment. Each rhythm offers a distinct pathway for resourcing the nervous system, strengthening connection, and integrating light and shadow into lived, embodied aliveness.
Rather than chasing peak states or transcendent experiences, this work invites us to listen more deeply. We explore vitality as the ability to stay present inside pleasure and discomfort, clarity and confusion, joy and grief, movement and rest—and to meet each with curiosity and care.
In this way, resilience becomes something we practice together, moment by moment, through the body.
