"Energy moves in Waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that - energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance." Gabrielle Roth

The five rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness combine in a harmonic vibrant sequence of the danced Wave. Come and connect your head, heart and body, in joyous company. Newcomers are especially welcome. 

(If the evening has become fully registered, do sign up to the Waiting List. Sometimes a registrant will inform us in advance that they can't attend, and we are able to re-allocate the space.)

This weekend we will dance with the energies of nature, at the moment when the sun shines at its zenith, when the creative drive of spring relaxes and we can appreciate simply being.

Being in the body, receiving it delicately, welcoming its change of energy, relaxing in sensitive movement, enjoying the warmth of the sun on the skin.

We will inhabit the space between the lyrical and the quiet, accompanied by moments of live music and fusion with the elements. We will let go of control over our own dance patterns to become the dance itself. We will celebrate the Solstice with a stone circle ritual in an ancient and powerful place.

 Our main dance venue is the hospitable Thirlmere Hall in the dramatic St. John's Valley. On Saturday afternoon we plan to spread our wings and dance in Castlerigg Stone Circle. Probably built around 3000 BC, the beginning of the later Neolithic Period, Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the earliest stone circles in Britain. It is important in terms of megalithic astronomy and geometry, as the construction contains significant astronomical alignments.  
Although its origins are unknown it is believed that it was used for ceremonial or religious purposes. It is probably the most dramatic of the known Neolithic stone circles in Britain.

 You can stay overnight at the hall, or camp in it's grounds, and there are plenty other possibilities nearby for staying (see suggestions below.) If you want to stay in the hall on Friday night (if you are dancing the Friday Wave and continuing for the weekend) and on Saturday night, tick the options on the registration forms for the Wave and the Workshop.

Beneath the surface, lie the depths, waiting to be explored.
In ourselves, in each other, in life.
Sometimes we hesitate, putting them off.
Sometimes we can’t find our way in, no matter how we try.
Often we’re just too busy, or in too much of a rush..
And we miss them altogether.

This weekend we will take the time and space to drop below the surface, to follow the thread of our dance beneath the ordinary, the familiar, and the everyday, into the heart of the matter. We’ll immerse ourselves in the limitless mystery of all that’s possible; and nourish our whole being, moving with the vast richness of the deep.

From a 5Rhythms lens, it seems the whole planet has been dancing a Rhythm of Chaos in recent times. This workshop will provide tools for us to channel the safety of our embodied wisdom, softening our natural longing to control, as we ride the global wave from Chaos towards Lyrical.

Using the 5Rhythms map in support, we'll work with the motions of "letting go", and "letting go of letting go", creating space and becoming curious about whatever remains.

Both the Friday open class and the Saturday workshop are suitable for beginners and experienced 5Rhythms dancers, along with every other possibility in between and all around!

"Ocean of Possibilities" is one of a triptych of workshops that have been offered internationally in four countries. Alongside the other two workshops, “Ground and Sky” and “Still Moving”, the triptych can be completed in any order, with each standing alone as a complete workshop in its own right.

The open wave and workshop hours from the weekend count towards 5Rhythms Teacher Training Waves prerequisites. You are able to stay overning in the hall, or camp in its grounds, for £10/night. Tick this option when you register for the Friday and/or Saturday date.

For those who want to remain after the workshop until Sunday, you’re very welcome to join Mark for an easy to moderate hike (about a 4 hour round trip) from the banks of Lake Thirlmere to a neolithic / early Bronze Age stone circle (constructed circa 3200BC.)

Both the hike and the stones will be an opportunity to further integrate the learnings from the workshop. The stones are thought to be amongst the oldest stone circles in Europe and their true purpose remains a mystery. Given their historical significance, surprisingly little is known about them and they have never been scientifically dated.
