MEDICINE CIRCLE IN MAUI
Thursday, January 12, 2023 to Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Join Sylvie and Wendy on Maui in 2023 for a very special Medicine Circle island-style!
Medicine Circle is a powerful weaving of dance, sound healing, ritual, community, prayer and connection, and will be held on the beautiful “Valley Isle” of Maui in January 2023. We will take inspiration from the powerful ‘aina (land) of Maui—from Iao Valley waterfalls, Ho’okipa waves, humpback whales and honu (turtles), the scent of plumeria, trade winds and ever present Haleakala.
Developed by 5Rhythms teacher Sylvie Minot 15 years ago, Medicine Circle combines powerful lineages—Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms Movement, Angeles Arrien’s Four-Fold Way and sound healing with Tito LaRosa.
In Medicine Circle, we dance, and the circle holds the big, small, quiet, loud, joyful, still, cathartic, and everything-in-between dances. We use sound—drums, rattles, bells, rain sticks, and song—to call Spirit back in. We pray, for ourselves, for others and for the greater whole. We call on our ancestors, guides and the spirit of the land, honoring our past and creating new pathways for healing.
Dancing together in this sacred way is our medicine.

“Sylvie is an instrument of sound and dance, facilitating a sacred space for the co-creation of healing. The music is an essential part of medicine circle. Whilst we are moving together, we are also making the rhythms to which we are dancing. There is the earth mothers heart beating, in the grounding pulse of the drums, the breathing winds of the flutes, the bone penetrating rhythms of the rattle, and the angelic chorus of our voices. Throughout time and space, our ancestors have come together to heal, grieve, and pray in this way. As a musician and a healer, I have never known a space like medicine circle where these ancient ways are honored and continued with such integrity and creativity.“ |
