5RHYTHMS®
WITH JEFFREY BOYNTON
Register Now for:
This 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.
** Workshop 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 workshop.**

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 weekend 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
