5RHYTHMS® Offerings

Sweat Your Prayers® Sunday Dance | 10:30am | The Alembic 

Sweat Your Prayers® is a particular form of 5Rhythms® practice, distinct from a class. Rather than learning the rhythms, you are invited into your own direct experience of them, held by the rhythms map and the shared field of everyone in the room.
 

The music carries us from our thinking minds back into our moving bodies, where something older and wiser than words takes over. The first wave receives you and meets you where you are, drawing you slowly and viscerally into your body. By the second wave, there is nowhere to be but inside the dance itself. The field holds you. The rhythm guides you.

Some come to sweat out the week, some come to reach into what is tender or wild in them, and some simply come to re-member themselves, one dance at a time. Gabrielle Roth, the founder of 5Rhythms®, called sweat holy water, and saw movement as the ultimate form of worship. Worship of what? Your own humanness, sacredness, and everything in between and beyond. What begins as movement may end as prayer.

Boundless Waves Friday Dance | 8pm | Studio 12

Boundless Waves is a weekly class in the heart of Berkeley, held by a rotating collective of 5Rhythms® teachers from across the Bay Area, each bringing their own depth, style, and years of devotion to this practice. What unites us is a shared trust in what becomes possible when people move together. Each Friday we'll move through the rhythms, and just dive a little deeper into something specific that opens the depth of the practice. Come and ride the waves with us!
