We are thrilled to announce Lucia Horan is returning to our Sydney shores in May 2025 (Friday 16 - 18 May) for

MAPS to ECSTASY ~ a 5Rhythms & Mindfulness Workshop

“When we experience moments of ecstasy, we taste what life is meant to be.” Gabrielle Roth

Maps hold all the information that is required to lead us to where we want to go. What is your destination?

In times of turmoil and change Somatic Meditation can assist you in navigating your way out of resistance and into ecstasy.
Through Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms movement practice and Mindfulness meditation, one may build a skill set that supports balance, ease and joy.
If you have been looking to increase appreciation, gratitude and happiness, then now is a perfect time to celebrate being alive.

There is a science to achieving ecstatic states and this is the mastery I come to share. This workshop is designed for all who want to join in
expanding the possibility of entering altered states in a natural way.

"I want to take you to a place of pure magic... It's the place athletes call the 'zone', Buddhists call 'satori' and ravers call 'trance'. I call it
the Silver Desert. It's a place of pure light that holds the dark within it. It's a place of pure rhythm.” Gabrielle Roth

All workshop hours contribute to 5Rhythms® teacher training prerequisites. This workshop is designed for everyone, of every age, and shape.
