Healing Waters and the Ecology of Motion, a 5Rhythms® and Indigenous Plant Medicine Workshop

Nature heals. Water is life. The motion of our bodies is a tool to map our inner and outer landscapes as we navigate our life’s journey on Mother Earth. 

People have always come to water and nature to receive guidance, clarity, and healing. Our weekend experience weaves the philosophy of the 5Rhythms® with sacred natural teachings inspired by the waters at Esalen Institute. We will journey together on a deep dive into the infinite source of creativity that resides within us all to balance the mind, body, and spirit. We will use the plant medicine of cacao in ceremony with the 5Rhythms movement practice to reconnect us to the flow and sacredness of water. 

Together, we will:

• Learn how to work with the ancient plant medicine of cacao to heal our hearts and move stuck emotions.
• Share a water offering ritual to connect with the sacred waters of Esalen.
• Experience the 5Rhythms movement practice as a catalyst and tool for integration. 

Utilizing the power of the elements, we’ll practice fluidity and call upon ourselves to turn inwards, with clarity to express our outer nature, with courage to surrender to those forces bigger than ourselves, with ease to be effortless, and in the spirit of stillness to integrate our instinct and intuition.
