5RHYTHMS DAY LONG RETREAT March 7 2020 SPRINGHILL RETREAT CENTER RICHARDSON TEXAS

5Rhythms Spring Day Retreat

Foundations for Healing and Well-being

Movement Meditation and Deep Nurture in Nature & Community

with Mati Vargas-Gibson

"If you put the body in motion the psyche will heal itself"

"Each of us has the power and responsibility to heal ourselves, to be our own medicine man or woman.Awakening our innate powers of being, loving, knowing, seeing, and healing involves ongoing work at all levels and in all dimensions of our self." Gabrielle Roth

Last weekend the Lodge, the Land and the Labyrinth at Springhill Retreat Center held us beautifully in a day of deep dances, spaciousness, stillness and joy, together in community and companionship between humans, land spirits, animals, and love. It was really magical, so we are doing it again!

Join us as we move into Spring and dedicate a full day to dancing towards a full state of well-being. Movement will activate our physical body. The land will nourish our spirit. The group will share attention and love needed for our souls. We will create a deep movement inquiry about the places in ourselves that are in need of healing, and use the dance as medicine for regaining wellness and balance, for gathering all our life force back in order to act in the world from a place of wholeness as we step into the active days of Spring and beyond.

The lodge at Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson will provide us with a spacious yet intimate container for our dances. An outdoor labyrinth (weather permitting) for moving in nature into the center of ourselves and out back into the dance. A kitchen to share a meal. And a fire for a closing ceremonial ritual.

5Rhythms is a simple yet potent movement practice for our times. It is a practice because we enter each dance as entering a mystery for the first time. We practice trusting our feet, listening to and expressing our heart, letting go and surrendering to the beat, shapeshifting into the lightness of being and emptying into the essence of being.

We do this when we dance every Wave. And when we can do Wave after Wave in the same day, we receive the blessings of profound dance medicine.

I hope you join us!

5Rhythms® weaves non-choreographed dance, meditation, conscious movement, full presence, and love. It’s a rhythmic, ecstatic journey through body, mind, emotions, creativity, soul and spirit. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, no way to do it wrong. Everyone is welcome, no matter what shape, size, age, limitation or experience. All you need is an open curiosity and a willingness to experience the joy of moving deeply and freely. Through the weekend we will invite and support each other to show up fully, playfully, responsibly and truthfully, so that our dance becomes a healing practice, a medicine practice, a creative practice, and a delightful practice.

Mati brings decades of inquiry on what it´s like to be a fully embodied, heart-full, spirited, dancing human being. She has danced 5Rhythms® since 1998, and trained under the tutelage of Gabrielle Roth and Moving Center Teachers to become a Certified and Accredited 5Rhythms® Teacher in 2008. Mati creates dancing and ceremonial spaces where everyone can dive into freedom of movement to still the mind, enter sacred time, and awaken joy, spontaneity, and moving prayer. In movement we gather beyond our usual social frameworks and experience meeting ourselves and others intimately, movement to movement, dance to dance, soul to soul, becoming witness to the essential being in everyone. Under the umbrella of BodySpirit Dance Mati creates containers and experiences for moving with the sacred in all aspects of life through movement, ritual, ceremony, and art. She currently offers 5Rhythms® classes, workshops and one-on-one sessions, as well as women’s ritual groups, and seasonal dance ceremonies in Dallas, Mexico, and internationally.

This workshop counts as Waves Hours towards 5Rhythms® Teacher Training.
