SANCTUM

A 5rhythms IMMERSION
BYRON SHIRE
SUNDAY 27 JULY

A Winter retreat.

A full day movement inquiry into the Sanctum of the dance.

"Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground"

~ Martha Graham

During these times of uncertainty,
we require the mastery of resourcing
ourselves back into the body.
To listen, feel, express. 
To tap into our inner resourcefulness and creativity. 

In a world that pulls us out and away,
we return inward.
To the breath, the beat, the body.
Using the maps of the 5Rhythms:
Flowing. Staccato. Chaos. Lyrical. Stillness.

Each offers a portal, a way back
to your inner sanctum ~ 
your truth, your knowing,
your felt sense of belonging.

This isn't about transendance,
it's about landing fully in your body:
The sacred ground. The interior altar. The holy human.

An invitation to return to your own anatomy as sanctuary.

To remember that your body is not a battlefield, 
but a holy place.
We dance to drop the armour
and embrace the chalice well.
We dance to hear the wisdom beneath the babble.
We dance to return to what is innately sincere.

This is sacred space ~ 
not because it's pristine,
but because it's real.

You are welcome here just as you are.

"Each of us is a moving centre,
a space of divine mystery.
And though we spend most of our time
on the surface in the daily details
of ordinary existence,
most us hunger to connect
to this space within,
to break through to bliss,
to be swept away into something
bigger than us."
 

~ Gabrielle Roth

This workshop supports you into your personal enquiry
to take the space and time for your dance. 

CONTAINER: 

A One Day Immersion

Held in the spirit of ceremony, creativity, curiosity and play.
A welcoming space for all levels of experience.
Embodiment practices, and personal expression.
Encouragement to step beyond your comfort zone and explore new facets of yourself.
Practical tools to integrate the learnings from the workshop into your daily life.

Through the practice of 5Rhythms, this workshop supports you to take refuge in the dance. It’s an invitation to delve deep into your inner world, and express your authentic self.

Each Rhythm is a passage, a portal, a sacred threshold into deeper layers of presence, embodiment, and truth.

Flow: We deepen, listen, and receive ourselves in the sacred circle.
Staccato: We claim space. The altar of of courage, clarity, and boundary.
Chaos: We dance inside the unknown. And find our freedom there.
Lyrical: We remember who we are beyond story and shape. The cathedral of the soul.
Stillness: We distill the wisdom from the Sanctum Sanctorum in 10,000 holy whispers.

Take this day to take refuge in your dance.
