GATEWAYS ~ A 5Rhythms Workshop wth Lucia Horan ~ Oct/Nov 2026

We are blessed to have Lucia Horan returning to our Sydney shores in Oct/Nov 2026 (Friday 30 - 1 Nov) for GATEWAYS, a 5Rhythms Waves workshop

Gateways: 5Rhythms®

With Lucia Horan

Come to dance and be danced! 

Move until you are moved. 

- Gabrielle Roth

The gateway of the body is a powerful vessel that allows us to move and be moved. It is a tool that ignites connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. 

The 5Rhythms practice awakens our innate connection to the energies of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical & Stillness. Come investigate how these powerful energetic states bring to awareness of the natural wisdom threaded by birth, life and death.

This workshop will be held during a time in our calendar that is universally recognized as a gateway. It is a time when the veil between worlds thins. This is a time for spiritual reflection, an opportunity for shedding what is no longer needed. This workshop serves as a bridge for introspection, releasing fears, calling on courage and cultivating both soul and physical renewal.

We will open this workshop with a ritual and dance that connects us to honoring loved ones who have passed and acknowledging their continued presence in our lives.

Come open the gateway to your potential and see what is waiting for you!

Every body is welcome - no experience is required.

This workshop counts as 15 hour of Waves credit towards the 5Rhythms® teachers training.
