Friday, September 8th, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm, MVMNT Wellness Hub

*Early bird price will end September 3rd, after which the price will be adjusted to 45 JD

Join us to move deeply into intimacy – exploring your unique flavor of it as it dwells ever so closely under your skin, on the breath of your wings, and within the invisible that connects you to others and the world. Inhale your own truth and sense what it feels like to be vulnerably alive in your own body; exhale and let go of old ways that no longer serve you.

With 5Rhythms® Conscious Dance preceded by heart-opening Cacao and heart-to heart sharing, you will:

• Unfold what intimacy means to you and why
• Add more heart into your movement and expression
• Find out what your body needs to open to deeper intimacy
• Feel the freedom to expand your personal boundaries and share space
• Discover how breath and movement can open creative energies for connection
• Ignite your passion for life and access joy with ease
• Access states of awareness and love that transcend time

* All ages & Genders welcome. No previous experience necessary. Come as you are and just bring your feet and curiosity with you!

About the Teacher:

Lina Nahhas, an Arab-Canadian entrepreneur based in Dubai, was one of the first to bring 5Rhythms® creative dynamic practice to the region in 2010 by organizing international workshops. Her passion for the work has led her to Waves® level teacher certification by 2014, weaving teaching into her life whilst running her social innovation & Empathy-building work via The Sameness project.

“The impact that the 5Rhythms® has had in my life, remains magical. One of the sentences repeated constantly by those who attend 5Rhythms® classes is ˜I feel so free to be me”. And it remains so for me too each time, no matter what “me” looks and feels like in the moment of that day! Invoking deeper presence, the 5Rhythms helps my soul inhabit its freedom and lightness in alignment with body, heart and mind with spirit, to savour life more fully and experience ease, by simply tuning in to the natural movement of my body and that of the cosmic dance holding it all. And in my continuing journey with the 5Rhythms®, I wish to offer others an opening to this energy which nourishes true freedom and reclaims our humanity”

About 5Rhythms®: www.5Rhythms.com

Created by Gabrielle Roth over 50 years ago, amidst modalities within the human potential movement, and now practised by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practise rooted in the principle that “if you put your body into motion, the psyche will heal itself”. With overlaps in philosophies within Yogic, Shamanic, Sufi and even Jungian psychology fields it straddles both ends: Physical expression as well as Spiritual meditation. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms® are practised, 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 and alive.

About Cacao:

Cacao was known among the ancient Maya as the “food of the gods,” because it can act as a powerful heart-opener that awakens the “love hormones” in the body, such as serotonin and dopamine. It has the power to provide mental clarity, to move you from your head to your heart, and to produce a gentle euphoria. When used correctly, cacao unlocks your ability to explore your own personal and mystical journey from an enlightening new perspective. In our workshop, our cacao’s ingredients will be: Ceremonial grade single-origin unprocessed cacao, Agave for sweetening, Vanilla, Cinnamon and a dash of pepper.
