This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Golden Bridge!
Golden Bridge is dedicated to Birthing a Generation of Globally Conscious ~ Embodied ~ Spiritual Leaders
Through the arts of body, heart, and soul, we support individuals and communities as they repair and move into collaborative service and leadership. Our leaders are empowered to move into the world from a place of deep kinesthetic connection with themselves, their people, with the earth, and with all of life, seen and unseen.
What are you grateful for? With that simple question we kick off the Holiday Season here in the good ole USA, home of Thanksgiving and all the related Turkey Day traditions.
And kick it off, we do. Football and parades on the TV, topics to approach or avoid around the dinner table, trains and planes and automobiles, it’s all part of the annual ritual of gathering with friends and family to express our gratitude, firstly and fore-mostly through the enjoyment of food.
This workshop is taught in Dutch, together with Annick Jossa from PRH.
This workshop counts for the 5 Rhythms teacher training as a 5 day elective, or as 25 hours of waves practice. You can follow this workshop if you have done at least one five-day workshop with PRH before; no prior experience with the 5 Rhythms is required.
This is the biggest conscious dance event in Italy.
It brings together many dancers and teachers from all over Italy, Europe and beyond.
Endless Waves 2022: retreat in Suomenlinna
Taught by Karoliina Valontaival
Endless Waves is a residential 5Rhythms retreat on the island of Suomenlinna, just off the coast of central Helsinki. Melt, unwind, and ease into the pleasure and restorative power of movement. The nature around us will support us in relaxing and opening our senses: time in nature is scientifically proven to bring down stress levels and boost our soothing parasympathetic nervous system.
Elemental Rhythms is a series of four workshops, each devoted to the teachings of one of the elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The workshops can be done individually, but they will also build on each other in a progressive sequence – each element being a gateway to a deeper connection with our world, our-selves, and our potential.
This workshop is taught in Dutch, together with Patrick Jossa from PRH.

Kannst du dir vorstellen, dass in jeder rhythmischen Bewegung viele Dimensionen persönlicher Ressourcen schlummern, die nur darauf warten entdeckt zu werden?
An opportunity to deepen our 5Rhythms practice

This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Rachel Goodman!
Hello Conscious Dancer Community!
I am a resilience consultant, facilitator, and speaker from Canada. I am also a movement, vocal, and visual artist.
In 2020, I suddenly had to learn many skills to get my work online. Before COVID times, my business had grown by in-person word of mouth. I’m a Gen Xer who started high school with a typewriter and has been living on a tiny island of 850 people for the past decade. I had very little online presence before the pandemic.
How deep are your roots? How far back can you trace your history? Do you stay in touch with the traditions of your culture?
I’m going to start with an assumption that most of you reading this email are in the US. And for those of you who aren’t, you’ve probably visited. Then you probably won’t mind me saying: The USA is pretty odd place.
This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Moti Zemelman, host of the world-renowned Contact Improv Retreat in Costa Rica!
As I’m sure most dancers can attest, keeping our dance practices alive during the pandemic has been a challenge. This has been especially true for an intimate partner dance form like Contact Improvisation, which is based on touch! I’ve personally been put to the test working creatively to find safe ways to lead dances over these last two years.
How big is your world? Where are the edges? Why is it that no matter where you are, you’re always at the center?
The human experience is a fascinating thing. You go along minding your own business in the place you call home until one day something changes and you find yourself somewhere else.
You don’t think about your home turf the same after you spend some time somewhere else. The kind of perspective you gain by looking homeward from afar is invaluable.
iRest® and The Practice of Welcoming offers life-skills in form of meditative self-inquiries that shift perspective and create new connections in our nervous system. Becoming aware of the states that keep us locked in a particular groove of reaction opens new ways of being in the world and with each other.
Grieving has to be done. It’s a physical and emotional labour, entwined with a loss of knowing.
It’s an unravelling dance, a longing song, a devastating love.
As we fall through that tangled grieving gateway, we are left with but one thing, in the tiny details of the day: we are still alive.
And that is such a miracle, so precious, that we are awash with gratitude, beyond words.
It’s all beyond words.
SAMEDI 14h30 -19h
Danser la part sauvage – « Sauvage est la proximité du sacré » (Holderlin)

–
Fear is Safe.
Unraveling the paradox our mind can’t believe through listening to the body.
Hello Winter. Hello darkness. The old familiar, fertile ground from which we draw our sustenance.
In his Gene Keys contemplations, The 64 Ways, Richard Rudd, delivers this nugget, “Fear is safe.”
What a head job, hey? How does one take this paradox and apply it to one’s life?
