Everything that we experience in life is reflected in our bodies. Our emotions and thoughts are directly connected to our body parts and the history of these experiences shape and define our posture and form. We all have unconscious physical muscular patterns in our bodies, which are the representation of unresolved emotional experiences. By connecting to these patterns consciously through movement, and then learning to complete the natural emotional response, we can release those unconscious patterns in our bodies. Anatomy of Emotion is a 5-day 5Rhythms® Heartbeat + Waves investigation where we will explore these emotional landscapes with kindness, curiosity and compassion. In Heartbeat, we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of being human. Old feelings that have been locked in our limbs or caged in our chest begin to shake loose. We get comfortable with feelings, neither hanging onto them nor pushing them away. We hope you will join us!

Join somatic guides Kate Shela and Amber Ryan as they guide you into The 360, a perspective-changing experience housed in wholeness and rooted in the dynamic power of the dance. This radically interactive and embodied process is designed to bring out your optimal potential through movement, sound, shamanism, and ceremony. Throughout the weekend, rediscover dance as an opening of your awareness in physical form and environment. Practice your ability to see and be seen as you step out into the unknown to retrieve lost parts of yourself. Challenge yourself to experience a full range of emotions, and express them through the fluidity of the body. Take the lead in your life personally and professionally, and become part of the rise in the ever-changing human consciousness.

The 5Rhythms practice calls us into change; it depends on change. Moving from one Rhythm to the next, one song to the next, one partner to the next, one breath to the next. Join us on Sunday Nov 10th in honor of, and with attention to, change….

Ascend Center 75 Main Street, Cold Spring, NY Entrance on Rock Street, 3rd Floor About Henya "I came to dance through a roommate of mine who kept saying 'There is this dance thing and you are going to love it!' I brushed her off for months and... I did not dance. I do not remember much of my first 5Rhythms class, a High Vibration Waves in NYC, except walking out I was thinking I don't know what just happened, but I need to go back and find out." - Henya Emmer More information about Henya: https://www.5rhythms.com/teachers/Henya+Emmer

Portals to Ecstasy: The Zone.... we've all had a taste of that blissful place while doing sports, being in nature, meditating... time seems to stop and we are ecstatically present and in No Mind. Often a gift from Grace, this state can consciously be invited through the energetic portals of the 5Rhythms: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness This class focuses on the physical gateways to each rhythm, opening the possibilities for deeper access to ecstatic trance beyond the mind.

Life is a series of transitions, where we leave one moment behind as we move on to the next. These transitions can be as simple as the shift from inside to outside or from stillness to movement and back again. They can be as natural as the changing of the seasons or the life cycle. They can also be dramatic and life changing. As conditions change, our perceptions change, too. Whether major or minor, transitions call upon our most creative responses. Come and join us as we use the map of the 5 Rhythms to explore these portals and dance on our creative edges.

This 5Rhythms class explores energy via the Elements connected to each rhythm: Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Ether. By embodying the qualities of each element in movement, we can receive valuable cellular information about how energy works within us, how it interacts with others in relationship and the world.
