EMBODYSSEY
An Odyssey in Embodiment . Five wisdoms . Five modules . One year
Embark on a radical and revolutionary journey of evolution
through the vehicle of expression.
Using the 5Rhythms as our map,

movement as our fuel,
and evolution as our destiny.
byron HINTERLAND
2025 CYCLE BEGINS 21 MARCH
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2025
2026 dates releasing soon
OVERVIEW:
This year-long odyssey is a powerful enquiry through dance into yourself as a Body of Work.
We will be exploring five wisdoms of the 5Rhythms, as distilled by Honor, in such a way
that brings awareness, action, accountability, and alchemy.
This work is experiential and engaging.
Moving together with a dedicated circle of courageous kinsfolk,
dancing for the duration of a year, as well as taking on
a series of personal/practical quests, provides the framework
for real ‘feet on the ground’ applications of this work.
Your commitment and discipline are required.

THE MODULES:
-
Embodyssey map
Your evolve happens at the rate and quality of your involve.
~ Felicia Miracle Hankins
Change itself is changing. The process of evolution itself is evolving. There is a meta-evolution, or a metachange that is taking place. And in that process what you see is actually an increasing contrast between change and the eternal or the unchanging.
~ Yasuhiko Kimura -
EMBODY
The whole point is Embodiment. ~ Gabrielle Roth
A pilgrimage into the terrain and temple-territories deep within the fabric of our being: flesh and bone, muscle and organ, breath, and the mystery that weaves through it all.
Embarking into deep listening and reverence for the earthling that we are.
Be here. Embody.
-
ENGAGE
Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It’s about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us, a hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. ~ Bob Goff
We are living in strong times and we are called to step up, show up, beat the drum of our heart, and engage with life. Wield the sword of Truth.
The archetype of the Heart Warrior is required. How would you move in the world if you were more fully recruited in it?
Commit. Activate. Engage.
-
EMPTY
To change skins, to evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. ~ Anaïs Nin
We cannot take the dross with us. It is imperative that we lighten the load, discard the legions of baggage that we’ve been dragging for eons.
A massive purging is required, individually and collectively. What needs to go? This is the moment for the movement of cleansing.
Unburden. Release. Empty.
-
EMERGE
When old patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. ~ Tuli Kupferberg
And like a butterfly from the chrysalis, a Phoenix from the ashes, we are revealed. The voice of our own truth. The declaration of the light.
We rise to see through eagle eyes the bigger vision of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
The revelation of beauty.
The beacon of solution.
The prophecy of evolution.What will you do with that?
Blossom. Burst forth. Emerge.
-
EVOLVE
“The impulse to evolve is inherent in the very nature of life.”
~ Maharishi Mahesh YogiWho holds the keys to our evolution? How do we dedicate ourselves to the awakening of consciousness? Unfold in the miraculous state of presence.
Open to the mystery. Abide in the eternal now, and the ever-unfolding uncertainty. Dance in our personal power.
The ultimate purpose of human existence is to bring that power into the world. ~ Eckhart Tolle.
Our Embodied Awakening is called for. We are the changemakers. The one's we've been waiting for.
Wake up. Evolve.
what’s included?
✥ Five In-Person Immersions (with residential option)
The key foundation of this journey are 5 x four-day in-person Immersions over the course of the year.
They include exploration of the various themes of each module through movement & dance, embodiment practice & process, dialogue & dyad, journalling & guidance.
Each of these modules are integral to one another and not ‘stand alone’ workshops.
The venue is a stunning purpose-built dance studio on idyllic, sacred, private land in the heart of the Upper Wilsons Creek valley (Bundjalung Country, Byron Shire), bordering Mt. Jerusalem NP and Koonyum Range. Dancing in this studio is a dream come true!
The modules are fully and professionally catered with soul-nourishing delicious lunch, teas, snacks (+ dinner if. you are residential) for your ease, convenience, and nourishment.
✥ Five Virtual Gatherings
There are five live online sessions through zoom offering additional coaching, support, teachings, conversations, challenges & breakthroughs, dance breakouts, to meet whatever is arising on the journey.
These are an integral part of the Embodyssey journey.
Between the in-person sessions and the virtual sessions we will meet on average once a month.
✥ Personal 1:1 Session with Honor
Via zoom or in person
Plus ongoing support at any time
✥ Five Sacred Quests/TasksThese sacred tasks are designed to support the bridging between the dance and real life.
They are a powerful tool to create practical lasting change and accountability.
They are always optional, but recommended.
✥ Support & connection through a private group
Solely for Embodyssey 2025 participants this creates a living and continuous way to stay connected with Honor and the group.
✥ Additional complementary access to the following online programs to support your home practice:
Morning Mojo 21-day online cycle in 2025
Chrysalis 7-week mid-Winter online series.
“Embodyssey is such an apt name for this odyssey of embodiment! A great way to delve into each of the five Rhythms and learn more about this rich practice – that is about movement and embodiment but also about so much more. Embodyssey is a perfect container to explore and work on yourself, feel supported through challenge and change, meet like-minded people, and discover deeper and deeper levels of embodiment to resource whatever journey you’re on.
Honor is an amazing teacher who holds the group with so much love and commitment, creating a space for trust and surrender to the process – for a whole year!
Having been part of the first two Embodyssey cycles, I have experienced and witnessed the fantastic power of the Embodyssey journey. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about joining this journey.”

MORE TESTIMONIALS BELOW
FLESHING OUT THE BONES
✥
MODULE 1 || EMBODY
This module calls upon
the MEDICINE of FLOWing:
Freeing the Body
the Power of Being
We cultivate listening to the body in a way that invites us into movement.
To BE dancers. And to harness movement as a spiritual practice.
Leaning into the body, we switch on and awaken the visceral, ancestral wisdom contained within our cells, muscles, organs, blood, and bones. Deepening our trust in the body that we can and will remember how to move in the untamed ways that support our healing, creativity, and fully embodied presence.
Throughout history, at the hand of religions, politics, and regimes we have become more and more disenfranchised, disconnected from our bodies. It is now imperative, for our own evolution and liberation, to renew this connection to our Earthling self and to the Earth herself.
Embodiment is the new enlightenment.
We’ll utilise, vitalise, catalyse, crystalise, and alchemise our extraordinary capacity for embodied expression, healing, and awakening.
Embody is the song that calls us home to ourselves.



MODULE 2 || ENGAGE
This module calls upon
the MEDICINE of STACCATO:
Expressing the Heart
the Power of Loving
The wisdom here lies in our activation.
To engage is to participate, to move toward, to take action, and to partner with life.
“If we don’t do our own dance, who will?” ~ Gabrielle Roth
Life is not a spectator sport, although our collective addiction to ‘the scroll’ on our devices would have us behave otherwise.
And so we ignite our FIRE, our warrior spirit, the drum of our heart, the passion of our desire to make a difference in this world. To not take our unsung song to the grave. To take a stand. We are living in strong times and unless we awaken our fortitude to show up and live on purpose, we will become mushy.
“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”
We connect to the energy in the power centre of the hips, unlocking and unblocking, stepping in and through, exploring those movements that are clear, defined, expressive, assertive, decisive, and confident to serve our truth and get shit done.
“Do you have the discipline to be a free spirit?” ~ Gabrielle Roth
Engage is the song that calls us out to life.



MODULE 3 || EMPTY
This module calls upon
the MEDICINE of CHAOS:
Emptying the Mind
the Power of Knowing
The Greek word ‘chaos’ literally means empty space or abyss. Many of us are terrified of emptiness. We try desperately to hold our lives together, to keep everything secure and predictable…but life is none of those things. Chaos teaches us how to hang in the unknown and dig it.
Physically and mentally we are carrying more than we need, more than what serves us and humanity. So, the wisdom of Empty is in letting go. We surrender the dead weight, the dross, the mental baggage. Dancing Chaos grounds the mind in the body and releases everything that blocks us from our intuition. We let go of the head dissolve back into the primordial dance.
“Become totally empty.
Quiet the restlessness of the mind.
Only then will you witness
Everything unfolding from Emptiness.” ~ Lao Tzu
The more we empty, the more we open to the Divine Emptiness, the Great Mystery, the Void in which there is infinite possibility. It can be terrifying and supremely liberating.
“We dance until we disappear, until all that is left is the dance.” ~Gabrielle Roth
When we surrender to the complete dissolution of all that we thought we were, when we can turn to goo inside the chrysalis and dissolve into the unknown, the conditions for the emergence of the butterfly are created.
“If I let go it takes me past my ordinary self into my luminous self.” ~ Gabrielle Roth
Empty is the song that calls us to freedom.
“an alchemical process of transformation.”
~ Pasha Lyndi (previous participant)



MODULE 4 || EMERGE
This module calls upon
the MEDICINE of LYRICAL:
Awakening the Soul
the Power of Seeing
This requires an alchemical shift in frequency.
“Your very essence emerged from Emptiness.” ~Wayne Dyer
We rise and reveal our beauty, magnificence, radiance, and glory, emerge into the world and allow ourselves to be seen - with total permission to shine our unique light and share our unique gifts to the world.
This is our soul contract in coming to Earth.
In emerging we also merge into our community and the mycelium of the unified field. Tuning our unique song with the harmony of the whole. This is the Lyrical Love Song. And it’s f**king beautiful!
We rise to see through eagle eyes the bigger vision of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. And our contribution to that. In the dance we ride the wind under our wings, and free our soul’s unique magic and power.
“Lyrical shows us our place in the universe as a whole. In Lyrical we seek truth about both ourselves and our mission here on this planet.” ~ Gabrielle Roth
The wisdom of Emerge culminates in the coronation, the crowning of our own inner King/Queen/Sovereign Self. And fully owning that! Not in superiority over anyone else but in the honouring ever everyone as that. So simply through the way we see one another, we empower one another.
Emerge is the song that calls us to the light.



MODULE 5 || EVOLVE
This module calls upon
the medicine of STILLNESS:
embodying the Spirit
the Power of healing
Stillness brings us ever more into the awareness of Spirit.
The eternal, unchanging, infinite vastness.
That which transcends life and transcends death.
We attune our dance to the Spirit of all things.
“The impulse to evolve is inherent in the very nature of life.” ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
And yet to evolve we must realize ourselves as ONE with all life, that we not separate from the soil nor the stars, nor one another. “There is only one of us here.” ~GR
So to heal the planet we must heal ourselves, to transform humanity, we must transform our own psyche, for the evolution of the collective consciousness, we must be evolving ourselves.
As Yasuhiko Kimura describes it, this is the dance between being and becoming. Being is the changeless source of all that is, the formless ground where words and categories dissolve. Becoming is the part of you that grows, changes, and shifts. It is the realm where inspiration becomes actualised in the world. Being is your STILL centre, your Source; becoming is your personality, your body, and your interactions with the world.
Nothing exists outside of this dance.
We must ourselves join in the dance of the cosmos.
“Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.” ~ T.S. Eliot
Evolve is the song that calls us to awaken.
“by arriving in my body, I understood parts of myself that were unknown to me, and I healed and nurtured myself as never before.”
~ Liz Doherty (previous participant)
