SURRENDER

"Surrender means letting the body become fully alive and free."
- Alexander Lowen

SURRENDER 

A 5Rhythms® Waves workshop in NYC led by Silvija Tomčik (Croatia)

The invitation is to find that sweet point of surrender in each of the 5Rhythms. 

To dance Flowing so fully, so committed, that you let go all you know about Flowing, all your Flowing dances you ever danced. 

To trust the heartbeat of Staccato, going straight to the heart and from the heart, going directly to what really matters. 

In Chaos we search for what do I need to let go to find my freedom, find my peace of mind? We dive under the constant chatter of our mind, for that deeper trust that we carry in our belly since we have our body, trust in a bigger cosmos, trust in nature's unfolding, trust the softness and the strength of SURRENDER. And then, what is onthe other side, what is that collateral beauty coming after a full surrender, the only kind of surrender actually? 

Lyrical taking us by the hand into the space that opens up inside and outside of us. Nobody else can take us there but our own leap of faith. 

And landing into the Stillness, where we can accept what we already knew, where the answer is simple, where silence is vibrating and holding us. Again and again. 

We hope you will join us for this 1.5 day Surrender into the Rhythms and we look forward to meeting you in this dance. 

Welcome!

About Silvija: Silvija Tomčik was introduced to Gabrielle Roth's teachings through her book "Maps
to Ecstasy" 28 years ago. It was a powerful encounter, which motivated Silvija to
begin searching for 5Rhythms teachers with whom she could dance. She organized
numerous 5R workshops in Croatia and Slovenia, bringing the practice for the first
time to this part of the world. At the time she was working in the Center for Peace
Studies and leading workshops on gender issues. She finished the Waves Teacher
Training with Gabrielle in 2001, and Heartbeat Teacher Training in 2010. Silvija
regularly teaches at weekend workshops and retreats internationally. In her teaching
she combines clarity, with imagination, humour with wisdom and a great variety of
music. Her grounded way of dancing is inspiring. She is passionate about the
freedom of being in the body as a way of prompting everyone to discover their
personal dance and healing movement.

About 5Rhythms: Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform the suffering into art, art into awareness, awareness into action.

Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

Creativity, Connection, Community
