An investigation into re-wiring our body intelligence.

The 5Rhythms movement meditation practice gives us permission to travel safely outside our daily experience of living and moving. In this experimental and innovative environment {laboratory} using our bodies to express creates the opportunity to slow down and rhythmically notice where we unconsciously or consciously put our attention. This workshop/playshop illuminates and shines light on presence, our sense of occupying a space in the moment.

What parts of our bodies do we ignore? What is efficient alignment? We can focus on ground, balance, imbalance, fear, breath, other people, love, space, energy. Through movement we can choose to cultivate excitement and play and to discover new choices to focus our awareness/attention.
By developing attention to appreciation of ourself and of others we feed connection instead of isolation , creativity instead of inertia. Come and play and awaken new pathways of relationship to self and others.
