Arjan Bouw has been dancing the 5Rhythms for 26 years and has taught the Waves level of this practice since 2005 and Heartbeat since 2010. He is teaching Open Floor since 2016. His embodied heart is evidence of these teachings. He lives in the countryside in the Netherlands and teaches internationally. His down to earth humanness creates safe spaces in which the life force can find its way to move through and out onto the dance floor. Arjan has a theatre background and is now therapist as well. Together in the Body, in the Rhythm The intention of the session is to work without music and find first sounds, then words to move to.
Please note that Chloë will hold the session for us from distance. https://www.chloegoodchild.com/ Together In Our Naked Voice The intention of this online session is exploring our own naked voices - and using it as embodied tool for our teachings.
She is certified in many different approaches including 5Rhythms and Life Art Process, and is currently training practitioners in her own approach - AnamCara. In her work, Marie combines the somatic and artistic approach with the spiritual wisdom of the first nations as well as with ecopsychology and ecofeminism. Together with Nature The intention of this session is to give ourselves time to experiment - individually & in group - our physicality and our perceptions, feelings, metaphors of life... - as a journey of coming back to the roots of our own belonging to the world. We will then have a common inquiry on "going towards" process, regarding our own artistic and/or teaching researches & practices.
Jamie Catto is an author, film-maker and musician running transformational workshops and events to reclaim all the treasure we edited away into the shadows and facilitate everyone daring to be more real, more fallible, more tender, more intimate. He facilitates these professional, personal and creative breakthroughs by drawing from his own processes in ground-breaking film production, philosophy voyages and music career. Jamie Catto is the creative catalyst, producer and director behind the global philosophy and music project ‘1 Giant Leap’, and a founder member, singer, art director and video director of Faithless. Shadow Teachers The ’true’ inner teacher, trusting spirit, trusting flow, not too self obsessed What part of us arise in the shadows when we teach? Exploring teaching through transmission - how they teach in ancient China, but filling the room with the energy you want to teach, by energetically transmitting to each other the ‘belief’ to the ’truth’ that they are all already able to enter this field and exploring how we give and receive energy without words on the dance floor - and we will experiment with exchanging different flavours of energy, sometimes giving, sometimes receiving, and allowing the different energies to dance us, so that we are passengers ’being danced’.
Adam Barley is a movement catalyst, author, and the founder of ZeroOne, an evolving mystery school based on embodiment, presence and enquiry. He began studying healing and meditation in the early '80s, training with Gabrielle Roth in the '90s to teach the 5Rhythms, and more recently completed Gabor Maté Compassionate Inquiry training. He has built a world-wide reputation for transformative experiences that combine influences from dance, voicework, tantra, trauma-informed therapies and meditation. Being in service to the aliveness and fluidity of the field To explore, in movement, the interplay between relating to specific people and being part of a group. We’ll place an emphasis on being in service to the aliveness and fluidity of the field, rather than one’s own personal gratification or comfort.

My session will draw on the threads of all that has come before, weaving
the wealth of our experiences into a new whole. We will move from diversity and
individuality to unity, resting together in the holding of something bigger than
ourselves. And we’ll notice how to use the simple elements of our practice to
deepen together.
