•THE WORKSHOP:
In the world, we often go through our days and our lives with our awareness focussed primarily on our own separateness. Our minds are occupied by our individual responsibilities and ambitions, and our connection to our bodies is tenuous or inconsistent. We rarely enjoy the feeling of being together with others, in the unified field within the flow of life.
In this workshop our focus will be on exploring and learning how to feel and recognise the unified field of our own bodies, as we move and play within the unified field of a group. Through conscious movement we'll discover new connections between the different parts of our bodies, and learn how to move as one dancing body.
Next we'll learn how to expand our awareness out to the group as a whole, without losing touch with ourselves. We'll bridge the two using our breath and expanded proprioception, allowing our attention to flow seamlessly from ourselves, to the group, and back, in a loop.
When we loop in this way, while dancing together, we create a shared field of individual expression that naturally and easily becomes a playground for connection and creative collaboration. The feeling of the unified field is palpable, inspiring and deeply nourishing.

•THE TEACHER:
Erik Iversen is a founding member of the 5Rhythms worldwide community. He was in his first training with Gabrielle Roth in 1981 and became one of her first workshop producers out of Montreal in the 1980's. Over the next 40 years he taught the 5Rhythms as well as maintaining a one-on-one bodywork practice; over time he integrated the wisdom he gained from hands on bodywork with the insight from guiding thousands of dancers on the dance floor.
