Maps to Ecstasy: A 5Rhythms® & Mindfulness Retreat

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

Maps hold all the information 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 in the wild, wondrous natural beauty of Esalen.

Each day will include discourses on 5Rhythms philosophy and embodied practice, seated meditation, Dharma talks, and sharing.

There is a science to achieving ecstatic states, and this is the mastery I have 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

This is a substance-free event.

All workshop hours contribute toward 5Rhythms teacher training prerequisites.
