Join guest teacher Jeffrey Boynton for a special outdoor SUNSET DANCE at Ruckle Park.

• We will meet at Beaver Point (not the usual Moonrise area) RUCKLE PARK
MAP: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGxMeKZJvyU4aSzr5

• MUST PRE-REGISTER: info@shaunadevlin.net
e-transfer OR cash - $20

• Expect a 5Rhythms wave with light facilitation. No experience needed.

• Wear good shoes for walking on uneven terrain, layers are good, and a light to walk back to the parking lot.

• Please park in the day use area, it is about a 5 minute walk to the point.

• Music is played via Silent Disco headsets - via FM transmitter

This one-day workshop is an inquiry into the 5Rhythms as a practice.

The surest way to understand the 5Rhythms' powerful potential is to move our bodies with intention, however we are able, through Wave after Wave after Wave. Our dance becomes practice – and we become​ more proficient​, as practitioners – as we show up, over time, in almost any inner state and external circumstance, dancing with others and alone; with little energy or range and with a lot; with different life moments, questions, and emotions; for seconds, minutes, hours, or for days.

In this practice, the specific nature of each Rhythm invites us to know ourselves in distinct ways and capacities, and to deepen into this way of knowing, of being in contact, over time. We practice shifting from Rhythm to Rhythm and Wave to Wave, cultivating our ability to live fluidly, and to respond to change. We practice giving ourselves permission to be every part of who we are, while noticing and being with what is – however it happens to be.

Through practice, and by sincerely giving our time and attention, we follow the road to building innate skill and developing the sense of embodied safety that personal experience and proficiency can bring. Then, we can effortlessly improvise within our own earned understanding of what is possible. With practice, we can relate with more ground and more presence to what is moving, to what is needed, and to who and what is alive around and between us. As we touch this place of knowing, nurturing, and unleashing our full selves, we encourage others in our world to do the same.

Circles of Inclusion
5Rhythms® Dance Community Practice
Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:45 PM
Doors open at 6:40 PM and close at 7:20 PM

Location:
At St. James Community Square: 3214 West 10th Ave, Vancouver

We are excited to host visiting 5Rhythms teacher Jeffrey Boynton (USA) in Vancouver for an evening of bold expression in the dance.

“I am committed to this 5Rhythms practice, wherever it happens in the world. I practice most days in my home studio and experience this transformational opportunity through the lens of every teacher I can access. I’m excited to hold space for Circles of Inclusion in Vancouver, guiding an exploration of all that moves us—subtle and bold, familiar and feral.” - Jeffrey

Jeffrey Boynton is a certified 5Rhythms Teacher and Member of the 5RTA. Jeffrey has been practicing 24 years and teaching since 2014. He holds a generous grounded space of gentle masculine presence for each of us to find our feet on the path of alignment between what we think, what we feel, and what we do. The gift of this alignment and awareness is increased personal and communal resilience, a vital resource in this age of Chaos.

Rhythm is our mother tongue. Together we take refuge in rhythm, find freedom and belonging in the dance.

The 5Rhythms® movement practice is meditation and medicine, healing the divide between body and spirit, between heart and mind. With no steps to learn, the practice itself is simple, and it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression. All we need to do is show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.

Come and join us for our weekly community practice. (Ages 15 plus)

WE WELCOME ALL

ALL RACES. ALL RELIGIONS. ALL GENDER IDENTITIES. ALL SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS

ALL ABILITIES & DISABILITIES. ALL SHAPES. ALL SIZES. ALL LANGUAGES. ALL AGES.

“This Dance
This coming together
to BE movement
to BE breath
to see each other
to belong.
Come as you are
Dive into your embodied Self
and find your place in our circle
This circle of inclusion in which there is only
the ONE dance.”

— Bettina Rothe

“The weekly space, group and groove is a soulful rhythmic oasis – where one can dip into Self and come out resourced.”

—Jill Sharpe, Filmmaker

This is what we love about our 5Rhythms community practice… expressed by our local dancers in Vancouver:

This is a path to embodied freedom and transformation.
I can show up in this supportive community as I am and feel welcomed, loved and accepted.
I get to joyfully and authentically express my wildness or my tender edges and return home to myself again and again.
The depth of this practice and shared container we create allows for transformation and healing.
I get to celebrate my whole self in movement and the vibrancy of this exceptionally connected community.

Guest Teacher on 6/28!

5Rhythms is a transformative moving meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth. It’s rooted in the idea that movement is medicine — a path to healing, expression, and connection.

The practice is based on five distinct rhythms:

1. Flowing – grounded, circular movements; connects us to the feminine, to the earth, to ourselves.

2. Staccato – sharp, percussive movement; ignites clarity, direction, and emotional expression.

3. Chaos – wild, releasing movement; helps us let go and surrender to the moment.

4. Lyrical – light, expansive movement; brings joy, creativity, and connection with others.

5. Stillness – slow, deep movement; invites presence, awareness, and integration.

Together, these rhythms form what’s called a “Wave” a journey that mirrors the cycles of life, nature, and our emotions. There are no steps to learn, no right or wrong moves — only your body’s unique expression in each rhythm.

How does it work?

You move through the five rhythms guided by music and a teacher (or in self-practice). Over time, the practice helps you:

• Release stress and tension

• Deepen self-awareness

• Connect with your body and emotions

• Cultivate presence and authenticity

• Feel more alive, free, and embodied
