Heartbeat

We will work with the Heartbeat map of the 5Rhythms: fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion. When we move through this landscape of feelings, we will be opening out, diving in, taking the experience of emotional energy back to it’s roots – in the body. It is in the body that we find the gifts that these emotions have to offer us.

Fear is the primal whisper that draws us back to safety, urging our feet to move, to seek shelter, to find ground beneath us. Anger is the fire that draws a line, defines our edges, it gives us power to stand and to say “No”.

Sadness washes out our heart, creating space to soften and surrender.

Joy is the wind that lifts our wings, opens to the sky and invites us to be wild and light. Compassion weaves the threads of our hearts together where we feel the gentle pulse of belonging.

5 Rhythms Dance is a dynamic movement meditation designed to release the creative dancer that lives within each of us. The 5 rhythms are: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Together they form a ‘Wave’ of movement and energy through which we are able to find our-self at our most fluid and creative. This dance is catalytic – a medicine for our soul – gently loosening our patterns of self-limitation.

Arjan has been dancing the 5Rhythms for over 26 years and has taught the Wave level of this practice since 2005 and Heartbeat since 2010. His embodied heart is evident in his teaching. His down to earth humanity creates safe spaces in which the life-force can find movement on the dance floor. He is also a therapist and teaches internationally. ‘Arjan is a wild creative spirit with a huge heart, poetic stillness, and a thousand playful inspirations.’

This is a HEARTBEAT level workshop that counts towards 5R Teacher Training Requirements.
