Please join Sylvie Minot on Wednesday June 17, 2020, as we explore knowing through chaos.

​Wednesday classes are currently being held on Zoom from 7:30 - 9 pm PST.

I have been thinking about how we navigate through periods of uncertainty.

​What guides us, and how do we find our way? 

​​The mind has strong thoughts and ideas, whereas the body can intuitively sense or know if we listen. Too often, we allow the chaos of change to distract us from the awareness of what is readily known in our bodies.

This week, we'll dance with knowing with our body wisdom in the midst of chaos. We'll empty the mind and allow the senses to emerge and guide us in new ways. When we connect mind, body, and spirit, we learn to dance with the unknown and trust our inner guidance to lead our actions.

There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it. ―Elizabeth A. Behnke

With love,

Sylvie and the SDP Team

The 5Rhythms is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in everybody regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the practice itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.

The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.

The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave. There are no dance steps to follow. Each rhythm has a different energy and tempo in which we tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns in ourselves and our lives, and find our own individual expression.

In Sylvie Minot’s weekly online class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as we come together in community. The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

Any level of fitness, agility and ages are invited to participate. All are welcome and no prior dance training or ability is required.
