What is Heart asking of you? Are you listening?

What is the shape of your Heart’s dance? How does Heart dance us?

In this one day 5Rhythms® workshop, we move from sensation to emotion, from cellular awareness to heartfelt expression. Beginning in the terrain of Waves, we root ourselves in the body—tracking sensation, breath, and rhythm. From here, we open to the emotional landscape of Heartbeat, where feeling becomes emotion, and and we put it in motion.

Local historian Brian Hull will give a talk about the history of Parlington Hall - the home of the Gascoigne family from the 16th to the first decade of the 20th century.
