FROM THE GROUND UP – 5Rhythms Easter Retreat with Silvija Tomcik and Thierry Francois

5RHYTHMS ® Easter Retreat

“FROM THE GROUND UP”

Waves and Heartbeat Level

led by Silvija Tomčik with Thierry Francois

“Perhaps the earth can teach us

as when everything seems dead

and later proves to be alive.”

Pablo Neruda

The invitation is to give ourselves enough time to spend down on the floor, offering our weight to the earth, letting our feet guide us into our dance.

Learning how to drop what we carry and let the ground hold us, nourish us, comfort us. Surrendering to the earth what holds us back, what holds us down, what keeps us separate. Resting in our inhale, rising on our exhale. It takes courage to feel that our being is enough. Coming back home to our own physical bodies more and more, we can start feeling more at home on this planet and extend loving attention and care from our own self love.

Rooted and centered we can soar, we can switch from me to we, from weight to weightless, from effort to effortless. We rise from the ground up, we dance from the feet up, we support and lift each other up, liberating our imagination, celebrating  our maturity.

There will be a lot of dancing, singing (Kirtan and Sacred Cacao ritual), some tree planting, some creative expression and play.

Silvija & Thierry: 

Silvija was first introduced to 5Rhyhtms through Gabrielle Roth’s book Maps to Ecstasy many years ago. This led Silvija to start dancing and organising  first workshops in 1998 with different 5R teachers in Croatia and Slovenia, and later to finish her own Teacher Trainings with Gabrielle (Waves  and Heartbeat levels). She now teaches workshops and retreats internationally, combining clarity, imagination, humour and wisdom and using a great variety of music. Her passion for being in the body prompts everyone to discover their personal dance and healing movement.

Thierry has been dancing from a very early age, starting with ballet lessons as a kid, and in later years pursuing theater career with further exploration of dance, mime and clown work. He is also a certified and experienced Gestalt therapist. Decades ago, he came across 5Rhythms and was able to finally integrate body work into his practice. A certified teacher in Waves level by Gabrielle Roth, he is currently training for Heartbeat level with Jonathan Horan. He also works as a facilitator with men’s groups on ManKind Project. He brings his love of music as well as all different aspects of his career into his teachings, with enthusiasm, creativity and lots of humour.
