5Rhythms with Ron Hagendoorn program of workshops and classes

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” Brene Brown When we are transparent and remove our masks real strength arises. What people see is what they get, we don’t have a double agenda. Being vulnerable is powerful. In this workshop we use the 5Rhythms Waves & Heartbeat maps. Waves is the foundation in our practice and in the physical qualities of the Five rhythms we find our ground and center. In Heartbeat we go deeper by inviting our emotions into the dance. When we regain the essential strength and potency of our emotions, we experience ourselves as more passionate and alive. The group of dancers and the 5Rhythms practice will be our support system and together we move towards authenticity. This workshop is for you when you appreciate creativity and change and want to enrich your life with it.

After a successful retreat in 2021 we will return to this wonderful location in the summer of 2022. This workshop is a perfect time to relax and recharge yourself. The 5Rhythms movement meditation is our inspiration. The sea and sun are waiting for you to envelop you in warmth and tranquility. The rhythm and pace of the program is adjusted to the summer. There is enough free time to explore the beautiful nature. We will likely be an international group of people, so be ready to make new friends. Our body language connects us beyond borders, our spoken language is English.

Movement acts just like a medicine on the body. Sometimes through minute movements, sometimes big and outrageous ones. Right across this spectrum of movements healing can take place. In this weekend we use the 5Rhythms practice as our container for movement. We include tools from Somatic Experiencing® and focus on resilience and self-regulation. We will be personal , and include some of our obstructive life stories that are ready for change and movement. We create a circle with safe boundaries for exploration and witnessing. This is an Elective level workshop in the 5Rhythms curriculum. Read more about it on the support pages. There is no need to become a teacher for participation. This workshop is open to everyone, with and without experience in 5Rhythms.

The heart is essential to our life, pumping oxygenated blood throughout our body. But it’s also the place where we experience many of our feelings. A quickening heartbeat when we see our loved one after a long separation, to a painful pause when we hear bad news. There is an intimate connection between the physical sensations of our body and the emotions that arise in response to the world. In this weekend we take time to explore these physical sensations and we move with our core emotions fear, angner, sadness, joy and compassion. How do our feelings move us and how do they influence our behaviour? What does it mean to be open hearted? We use the 5Rhythms Waves® and Heartbeat® maps. A dynamic movement practice that liberates body, heart, mind and soul. You don't need to be a dancer to take part. Being human is enough! This workshop was planned in Europe for 2020. Due to the current circumstances, it will be postponed to a date to be determined. Stay informed through the newsletter or view the calendar.

Our emotions are important resources in our lives. They give us strength and direction. The emotion anger helps us to honor our limits. We defend what we love with our anger. The access to anger is also the gateway to an intimate relationship. There's nothing more personal en honest then someone expressing their anger in a healthy way. No blame or humiliation, but an honest language from the heart that protects one's own integrity. Only when we are comfortable enough with our own anger, we can meet another in truthfulnes. In this workshop we practice how to express and how to contain our anger. Not by holding it back, but by being aware of the micro sensational world in our bodies. We discover how anger and forgiveness are related to each other. Ultimately we experience that anger is an energy that keeps us alive and vital. By putting it into motion we become more at ease with our own power and we say yes or no from the heart.

Our emotions are important resources in our lives. They generate energy that is immediately released for appropriate action. Fear is the emotion that protects us from danger. Without fear we would not be able to survive and we would take life-threatening risks. It is therefore an indispensable and instinctive tool. When we start thinking too much about something frightening that we have to do, we become paralyzed. All movement stops and we become 'thinking zombies'. This is the shadow that most of us know. In this dance workshop we focus on the energy and movement that is released by fear. We discover the essential power and experience how overcoming fear gives us courage. The Courage to create a positive change and a wider perspective to continue our journey in life. We use the 5Rhythms Waves® and Heartbeat® maps. A dynamic movement practice that liberates body, heart, mind and soul.

Very close to the old place, 15 minutes walking distance from Rotterdam Central Station, and free parking in front of the door! Let’s dance together again.
