RICHMOND, VA

Practice: A 5Rhythms® 6 week Waves series with Jeffrey Boynton 

This Series is an embodied inquiry into the 5Rhythms as a practice.

PRACTICE: A 6 Week 5Rhythms® Waves Series, which will be offered from April 29-June on 6 consecutive Wednesdays from 7-8:30pm at Richmond Movement Center.  This series will feature one night in each Rhythm - Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness and will end with a Sweat Your Prayers class, where participants will have the opportunity to move through the Wave without spoken facilitation to ground their facilitated experience over the previous weeks in their own embodied wisdom.

Participation in this series will require advance registration by April 8 and depends on a minimum number of registrations. If the minimum is not met, registered participants will receive a full refund.

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.

Series participants will be provided access to several of Jeffrey’s waves for home practice via Mixcloud to support their personal practice and inquiry before and integration after the series.

Registration will close on April 8, 2026

NEW CLASS FOR 2026! THE RETURN OF RHYTHM LAB

From my confusion movement stirred

something bigger than me wanted out

raw awareness set free

allowing untruths to fall away

birthing the 5Rhythms

essence embraced

an offering placed in the cradle of time

continuously rocked

by an incessant hunger to know spirit in all things

the 5Rhythms--

a route

to the

root.

~ Gabrielle Roth

In this periodic movement laboratory, we will explore the 5Rhythms® practice through a specific lens. Each inquiry is an opportunity to reconnect our embodied selves to the patterns and currents that move around and through us. Offering diverse and expansive musical inspiration and facilitation, Jeffrey will guide participants through the 5Rhythms® Waves map:

Flowing: the practice of Fluidity, the gift of knowing

Staccato: the practice of Definition, the gift of expression

Chaos: the practice of Release, the gift of transformation

Lyrical: the practice of Connection, the gift of lightness

Stillness: the practice of Emptiness, the gift of wisdom

This class will be held at a gorgeous private home studio in Charlottesville, Virginia.
