With summer on the horizon and being able to plan in-person classes once again, we want to let you know about a couple of upcoming SDP events. Please join us in moving our bodies and restoring our connection to self. With love, Sylvie and the SDP Team “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.” - Emerson - On Saturday, June 11, we are fortunate to feature certified 5Rhythms® teacher, Jennifer Burner as the instructor for this upcoming in-person Sweat Your Prayers class in Point Richmond, California. Jennifer’s dance practice began in 1996 and included ritual performances and visual poetry, earning her a college scholarship. After performing for many years, Jennifer realized a profound yearning to experience dance on a deeper level and began studying the 5Rhythms in 2002. Jennifer's deep understanding of the work inspires students to engage powerfully with the transformative nature of this practice, while her upbeat teaching style helps to create community on the dance floor. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED *If you are a recurring member of SDP, you do not have to register for this class, but you do need to email [email protected] if you plan to attend in person as space is limited. We are holding a Shamanic Journey and Movement workshop on the 19th of June, two days before the Summer Solstice at the Dunbar Pavilion, 325 W 2nd Street, Tucson, AZ 85705, from 12:00 - 5:30 pm Sliding scale cost: $175 - $250. To register: click here to email us to register. Shamanic journeying bridges humans between the worlds, beyond the five senses, to recover messages, knowledge, and wisdom from our guardian spirits and ancestral allies. During this in-person daylong individual and communal process, we will dance, journey with the drum, and embody our guidance through movement. We will put the group’s messages into motion by creating embodied tableaux. Throughout the day, we will honor the worlds of the soul, the animals, the land, and the ancestor’s spirits. For over 15 years, Sylvie Minot has been leading Medicine Circle with Wendy Heffner. During the pandemic, Sylvie found a different way to connect through the spirit world. She started a series called Shamanic Journeying and Movement over Zoom. The journeys have been very profound during this time of unrest, a time when we need to connect with our guardian spirits and ancestral allies even more than ever. The journeys have been revealing and healing. Participants were not just journeying for themselves, but also each other and the world. Now it is time for us to come together and experience this incredible journey in-person together. This workshop is a ceremony to invite in the subconscious and spirit world to assist us. In Memorandum5Rhythmns founder, Gabrielle Roth’s partner, Robert Ansell passed in his sleep on May 27. He was such a big part of the 5rhythms community. I remember how his drum beats added to our dance in each of the workshops with Gabrielle. He will be missed. If you’d like more information, here’s the link. ~ Sylvie
