Alchemy: a 1-Day 5Rhythms Waves Workshop with Joel Stanley
October 20, 2024
“Alchemy: def. concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold […] a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.”
The dream of alchemy is the dream of elevating the mundane and finding the precious sublime in what is common and everyday. Living our lives, keeping obligations and responsibilities, running routines, it is natural to want transformation, lightening, and the possibility of ascent.
Through 5Rhythms, we use dance and movement to dig into the present moment, to inhabit fully the everyday, and to allow grace, ease, lightness, and expansion to emerge, delight, and surprise us. In this one-day workshop we will discover an embodied alchemy through the 5Rhythms Wave (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness), following its wisdom to find the golden thread woven into the fabric of our lives.
