THRIVE
A 5Rhythms® Day of Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton and Jacqueline McInnes
Bringing together the medicine of the dance in community. Sharing the exchange of movement, rhythm and connection as we explore the territory of how we thrive:
In the space of adversity
In the crucible of challenge
In the mystery of what life offers us
Whatever your typical practices are, a day spent within the 5Rhythms map of embodiment will complement your preparations for the coming season and enrich your experience of the here and now. Let this exploration be a waypoint on your personal inquiry into the catalyzing, abundant, creative, and enduring energy of late summer.

UNIFY
UNIFY: A 5Rhythms Exploration of the Mature Masculine
Connected Visionary Focused Empowering
These qualities of the mature masculine are subverted by the patriarchy, the lying politician, the abusive lover, and the gangster; symptomatic of a society that disproportionately reveres the boy masquerading as man. The immature masculine has its place in the vital and vibrant spark of boyhood. When it fails to develop and takes the place of mature masculine awareness and leadership in the actions of men and perceptions of women, all are wounded.
In this one-day Waves workshop, we will try on the many shapes of the masculine, tapping our body intelligence to sift and move the stories and patterns, and distilling the essence of our present awareness of masculine energy into embodied action.
“Dance is movement, is action, and like all action, it reveals us to ourselves in the doing.” – Gabrielle Roth

Practice
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.

Equilibrium: a 5Rhythms® Workshop on the Polarities of Presence
Equilibrium: a 5Rhythms® Workshop on the Polarities of Presence (CANCELED)
This soothing season of release and bounty, of shorter days and cooling winds, delights us in an exuberant display of color and abundance, a reflective space of gratitude and luciferous change. The coming season of autumn brings a shift into decidedly cooler and longer nights; a time for harvesting, fruition, and transition for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Leaves brighten, crisp and fall. Melancholy musings turn our focus inward as the space between the possibilities of Summer and emptiness of Winter arrives. Birds begin to fly to warmer climates, opening the soundscapes of our mornings and evenings into a growing silence. Fruit and leaves begin to litter the forest floor as their bodies nourish whatever grows next. Some of us venture out into the wilds while the temperate weather persists, gathering around fires, with practices that acknowledge and give thanks. Some return to learning and the halls and chambers of curiosity, reconfiguring families and offering new opportunities to the next generations.
As we approach the autumnal equinox, we invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in it’s endarkened and enlightened expression. This journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the reflective, soothing, and generous energy of harvest that autumn can offer.

Equilibrium: a 5Rhythms® Workshop on the Polarities of Presence
This spacious season of darkness, of lengthening days and growing light cradles us in an essential restorative energy, a contemplative space of consciousness and presence. The coming season of spring brings an equilibrium between day and night, and time for stirring, germination and awakening for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Sap rises, heart rates quicken out of hibernation, birds return from warmer climates, filling the empty skies. Buds swell and shoots break the surface of the forest floor as the ground begins to thaw. We venture out of the warmth inside our homes, back into the outdoors, with practices that renew and refresh.
As we approach the vernal equinox, we invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in it’s endarkened and enlightened expression.

Luminous Absence: a 5Rhythms® Workshop on the Polarities of Presence
Luminous Absence: a 5Rhythms® Workshop on the Polarities of Presence
This autumnal season of darkness, of lengthening nights and diminishing light holds us in an essential energy, an intuitive space of regeneration and inner growth. The coming season of winter brings with it the return of the light, and a long period of rest for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Sap slows, heart rates drop into hibernation, birds absent themselves to warmer climates, emptying the skies. Crisp leaves rest on the forest floor as the ground grows cold. We bring the warmth inside our homes, into our hearth, with practices that soothe and comfort.
As we approach the winter solstice, we invite you to dance the polarities of the 5rhythms as we explore each rhythm in it’s endarkened and enlightened expression. This full weekend journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the regenerative, restful, and deeply nourishing energy that winter can offer.
