    Part 1: Summer Solstice - "Solstice Joy: A Ritual of Light and Play"
    JUNE 21
    The Summer Solstice is a celebration of the peak of light, energy, and creativity. In this workshop, we’ll dive into the joy of being alive, exploring how to express freedom and playfulness through the 5Rhythms practice. By moving through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness, we create space for joy to emerge—joy that is not just a fleeting emotion, but a deep, embodied vitality that comes from embracing the full spectrum of our emotions. This workshop will leave you feeling energized, radiant, and ready to carry the joy of the Solstice into the summer months ahead.

    Part 2: "Heart of Summer: Embodying Resilience and Joy"
    JULY 19
    Continuing from the Solstice, we gather to explore how to stay grounded and joyful through the rhythms of summer. In this workshop, we will tap into our inner resilience as we move through the shifts of the season, discovering joy in every moment, no matter what life brings. Through the practice of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness, we’ll explore how to stay connected to joy while embodying the strength to adapt to change. Whether the energy of the season is bright or more subdued, joy can always be accessed when we trust the process and meet ourselves with compassion.
