“5Rhythms practice is a journey towards freeing the body, expressing the heart, emptying the mind, awakening the soul and embodying the spirit.” - GABRIELLE ROTH
In this 5Rhythms weekend workshop we will explore how each of these 5Rhythms is connected to these 5 different parts of us: Body, Heart, Mind, Soul and Spirit.
This is an invitation to an intimate investigation of how Flowing unlocks the body, how Staccato opens up the heart, how Chaos liberates the mind, how Lyrical opens the door of the soul, and how Stillness inaugurates the spirit.
“I belong to my body.
My body belongs to the dance.
I commit to my heart.
My heart is committed to the love.
I am co-creating with my mind.
My mind is co-creating with the mystery.
I am connecting to the nature of my soul.
My soul is connected to the nature of all things
I breathe my spirit alive.
My spirit lives in my breath. My spirit dances with my breath.” - SIlvija Tomcik

ABOUT SILVIJA
Silvija Tomcik was introduced 20 years ago to Gabrielle Roth's teachings through her book Maps to Ecstasy. It was a powerful encounter, which motivated Silvija to begin searching for teachers of the 5Rhythms with whom she wished to dance. Since then she has been organizing 5Rhythms workshops in Croatia and Slovenia, bringing it 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 Waves Teacher Training with Gabrielle in 2001, and in 2010 the Heartbeat Teacher Training. Silvija is teaching both nationally and internationally. She teaches weekly classes and weekend workshops using her imagination, great variety of music, her grounded way of dancing and her love for the freedom of being in the body to prompt people to discover their personal dance and healing movement. Silvija lives in Zagreb with her husband Thierry Francois, also a 5R Teacher and her two children.
