In CYCLES we use our movement practice to study the most essential relationships of our lives. Who are the people and events that have shaped who we are? What challenges and gifts did they leave us? How do we honor our unique history without being ruled by it? How do we see our fixed patterns of relating to the world and then free ourselves from rigidity and habit?

Each life cycle holds an essential sacred task that begs to be embodied in order for us to live in a full-hearted way. How do we surrender to the natural movement from birth to childhood, through puberty into maturity, to be ready for our eventual deaths?

Dancing Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms, a cathartic form of ecstatic moving meditation, this will be a place to transform our wounds into art, our lifelong patterns into perspective. This then frees us to relax into the strength and beauty of our distinctive contribution to this world.
