5Rhythms® through the year
'This Dancing Body', with Andrew Holmes
This body ~ often taken for granted, sometimes ill or in pain, always
ageing..
We feed it, rest it, keep it warm
Wish it other than it is
And then attend to higher things..But then again.. this body ~ home, a miracle of design
The creative instrument through which our dance takes form
A crucible of life and breath
A begging bowl for Spirit..
This is a weekend to more consciously inhabit our physical form
To breathe, and move, and feel
To celebrate the physical, and fill it luxuriantly with ourselves
To find acceptance and then revelation in our flesh and bones
And attend with honour to this body that loves to dance.
Andrew has been teaching the 5 Rhythms for twenty-five years. He studied extensively with Gabrielle Roth, and runs workshops in many countries. He lives in Somerset with his partner Sharon.
“The depth and simplicity of your teaching is stunning”
A glass of water, or the river itself?
