This is the work where 5Rhythms® dance & Somatic Movement Education BMC® intersect.

This is a practice of moving from our insides.

This is a practice of sensing our movement from an informed, curious and specific exploration

of our body-system’s creative expression, through Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering® in relationship with Gabrielle Roth’s Wave maps

Sunday 25 May

Rivka Honeybee Worth | Naarm, Melbourne, AUS

Rivka has been a student of Body-Mind Centering® since 2000 and recently graduated the Somatic Movement Educator (SME) program in 2024. Rivka has been dancing 5Rhythms since 1991 and has been a certified teacher since 2014. With several decades of embodied experience in these modalities, plus more, she has designed a system that interweaves the somatic education with the dance wave. This workshop has been offered several times and continues to develop in it's form. Each time, Rivka has witnessed participants deepen their sense of self and their connection to their practice. Cells awaken to themselves, supporting balance, efficiency, clarity and ease. Movement possibilities have been enriched and expanded. Dancers have experienced a newborn embodied awareness.

At 19 I was thrown into facilitating community dance for young people with disabilities and thirty years later, in my 50's, I continue to enjoy supporting a broad diversity of people to move and express freely in their bodies. My teaching has moved thousands of different people in health, justice, education, arts, remote and environmental settings. Dance floors range from inner city halls, leafy forest beds, community gymnasiums to red desert earth. My qualifications include three decades of community dance leadership, including BA Dance Uni SA, Certified 5Rhythms® teacher & Certified The 360 Emergence facilitator, Somatic Movement Educator, (BMC), Certified The Work that Reconnects Facilitator & Futuring Trainer. I have worked extensively in Community Dance, Community Cultural Development, Improvisation Practice, Somatic Practice and as a professional Choreographer, Artistic Director and Production Manager. I specialise in Ecosomatics and in Ceremonial Dance, where sacred connection and transformation are individually and collectively embodied. I focus on cultivating a symbiotic relationship with Nature through Eco Soma™, Ecosomatic practice.
