The 5Rhythms is an externalization process that through movement, releases and balances the systems of the body. It is a method focused on presence versus performance, while seated meditation offers us a process of quieting the heart and mind, allowing for stillness and integration. Bringing both practices together mirrors the dance of life. We come together to create an environment that cultivates and nurtures joy, calmness, and ease.

Embodied Intention Setting for Women

Asheville, NC - $12

Instructor: Ruth Elliot

Your pelvis is naturally a storehouse for unlimited creation potential (think egg and sperm!) Emotionally and energetically, the same is true of your pelvis.  However, often we use it as a dumping ground for emotions or experiences that can’t be processed in the moment, like grief, bracing for an impact, heaviness that comes from a lack of support, fear of moving forward, or dreams put on the back-burner. Before we can imagine our creative potential we must go through the process of clearing out this inner storehouse to start fresh.
