Jo Hardy and Christian de Sousa

Jo and Christian are dancers, teachers and long standing friends who regularly co-weave multi-layered conversations at a famous local coffee shop in Totnes. This podcast is a slice of a coffee conversation and it got rather long ….

We trust all listeners will dip in and out, take a pause, a breath and a moving moment ....Thank you for listening!

Jo Hardy is a Movement Medicine teacher, mentor and was school faculty 2009 - 2020. She is also a 5Rhythms teacher since 2004 (Waves and Heartbeat Level), an Open Floor Teacher, and a psycho-spiritual somatic psychotherapist and supervisor for 35 years.

Christian de Sousa is an artist, DJ and facilitator, teaching 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine and a weave of Taoist and animist/shamanic approaches to movement and practice. He’s fascinated by the magic of music as an inspirational guiding force for our dances.  For many years he held large dance spaces and a thriving community in London; his focus since the pandemic has simplified and is currently with solo practice and how we can integrate movement into day-to-day living.

Deborah Bacon Dilts and Peter Wilberforce

Deborah Bacon Dilts began teaching the 5Rhythms® in 1998. A native Californian but resident of France for the last 40 years, she has participated in the growth of the personal development field there in her various capacities as an interpreter of teachers and trainers in personal growth and consciousness work, as a trainer herself of relaxation and body therapists, and more recently as a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Also trained in Open Floor, she feels deeply that dance alone is not enough for deep transformation to occur. She is currently exploring the synergistic combination of sitting meditation and dance. Her involvement in the ICMTA during the past eight years has been a rich source of learning, growth and connection. The golden thread that runs through all of these activities is connection with self, other and the greater field, her passion in this precious life.

Peter Wilberforce
is a certified 5Rhythms teacher. He leads classes and workshops all over France and in Europe.  He incorporates into his work various body and voice practices – the Feldenkrais Method, The Naked Voice work of Chloë Goodchild, Amerta Movement of Suprapto Suryodama and the Alexander Technique.  He offers work exploring the freeing of the voice through the mobilisation of the body.  He is guided by a conviction that optimal embodied learning happens in calm and secure spaces.  His approach asks for a spirit of exploration and encourages welcoming all states of being, as well as inviting a sense of fun and play.

Alex Mackay
(5Rhythms, UK): "
I live in beautiful West Wales but I'm lucky to also teach internationally. My teaching is spacious and embodied, full of spirit, depth and creativity. I have a lot of energy and love to dance with the group. 

I'm the first teacher after Gabrielle Roth and Jonathan Horan to offer the archetypal workshop 'God, Sex & the Body'."
