Roots & Wings - A 5Rhythms Event with Layah Jane in Perth, Ontario

How do we connect to the taproot of our creativity? How do we draw on the strength and supports around us to nourish ourselves? In this day-long 5Rhythms® workshop we will explore our relationship with Earth, and how we can ground ourselves in movement practice, even when we feel disconnected.

When we are rooted in the Here and Now, and centered in our selves, more freedom of expression is possible. How do we allow our unique spirits to come through on the dance floor and in daily life? In the second part of our time together, we will explore expansion and contraction, effort and effortlessness, and play with opening our wings to the creative winds that blow our way.

5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice - a workout for body and soul, and a map for awakening and embodying our creative capacity to meet all that life brings. There are no steps to follow in this improvisational movement methodology. Instead, we show up, tune in and move what is alive in us.

Dancing the 5Rhythms can be fun, meditative, transformative, and healing. We have the opportunity to step into a sandbox where we can play with different embodiment tools that support us to express a wider spectrum of our aliveness.

All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.

Layah, a white woman with shoulder-length wavy light brown hair, is dancing barefoot outside in a green summer forest, wearing a turquoise sundress.

Layah is a healing artist ~ a movement facilitator, dancer, and musician. Layah first fell for 5Rhythms in her late teens and for the last 20+ years has steeped herself in movement meditation practice. Passionate about offering people sacred space to experience motion as medicine, Layah has facilitated expressive movement since 2003 for all ages on all kinds of dance floors: classes, gyms, offices, barns, fields, and studios. Her work is infused with expressive enthusiasm, a fascination with the weave of ritual and improvisational art, and a reverent love of creative practice as a transformational and political act. Layah is a member of the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association, and a certified 5Rhythms teacher accredited with the 5Rhythms Teachers Association. All study hours with Layah count as prerequisites towards future 5Rhythms teacher trainings.
