CONSULTATION GROUP TRAINING

GROUP

What is the Movement Teachers Consultation Group?

Designed for a maximum of six participants, this group creates a dedicated space for movement teachers across various dance modalities to address questions, share case examples, and explore the real challenges of facilitation. Participants bring inquiries from individual sessions, classes, and workshops.

Sylvie Minot draws on her extensive background in training facilitators and over twenty years of teaching experience with diverse populations to guide the discussions that arise.

Together, the group taps into the collective wisdom and experience each participant brings.

Objectives & Goals

Participants can expect to:

Find ways of communicating with difficult participants
Find ease with resistance
Explore ways to weave movement into other modalities
Balance the use of words and dance
Use music to affect the process

Prerequisites

At least 5 years of movement practice of some kind
Experience facilitating groups or private sessions
A movement teacher of any style, or currently in in-depth training

This consultation group is not suitable for those who:

Solely pursue an interest in DJ'ing
Are contemplating teaching movement and are uncertain if it's the right fit

INDIVIDUAL MENTORING FOR MOVEMENT FACILITATORS

After completing facilitator training, many new teachers find themselves navigating a teaching career largely on their own. Sylvie offers individualized mentorships for movement facilitators who want to deepen their skills in presenting, facilitating, and building a sustainable teaching life.

Enliven, reinvigorate, and awaken the passion in teaching again. Join for one session or a series — until you've found the inspiration to move forward on your own.

Areas of focus include:

Developing class themes and curriculum
DJ and mixing skills
Developing your skills as a workshop leader in day-long, weekend, and weeklong retreats
Deepening your understanding of 5Rhythms philosophy and how to clearly articulate it to your students
Community outreach
Organizing your class and workshop team
Sound systems, microphones, setup, and breakdown
Skillfully navigating challenging students
Empowering clear, heartfelt boundaries with individuals and large communities — keeping your room and everyone in it safe
Re-inspiring yourself and your teaching
A safe space to share your personal challenges and experiences
Identifying and working with your strengths and growth areas as a teacher
Individual mentoring is also available to 5Rhythms facilitators who have completed facilitator training.
