About this Event

As we bid farewell to Fall and welcome Winter, we gather together to light an inner spark, to warm ourselves, to tune in, and to co-create.


TWILIGHT is an invitation to explore how two potent movement practices come together to deepen our creative process:

Where pulsing rhythms meets fertile silence.

Where courageous expression meets inner listening.

Where personal process meets group holding.


Guided by the 5Rhythms® Waves Map and the practice of Authentic Movement, we’ll take a light into our inner terrain and open to what our creativity has to show us.


This one-day workshop will be capped at 30 participants to create a tight ensemble. No prior experience is necessary.


Come as you are.

Leave lit from within.

ABOUT 5RHYTHMS:

5Rhythms is a vibrant movement practice that uses dance as a dynamic process of self-discovery, moving through five distinct rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—to explore and transform physical, emotional, and energetic states.

ABOUT AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT:

Authentic Movement is a contemplative practice in which movers close their eyes and follow inner impulses, allowing movement to arise from deep bodily awareness rather than conscious control. Through attentive witnessing, it cultivates presence, trust in the body’s wisdom, and insight into the connection between inner and outer experience.

Allyssa S. Rivera (A-li-sha), pronouns she/her/ella, holds an M.S. in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College and a B.A. in Socio-Cultural Anthropology from NYU. As an embodiment facilitator and dance alchemist with The 360 Emergence, she fuses therapeutic expertise with artistic and spiritual depth. Native to Puerto Rico, Allyssa’s journey through diverse clinical and community settings, including Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, reflects her commitment to healing, as dance provided her from a very young age. Currently based in Brooklyn, she practices privately and at the Creative Art Therapy Place. She also holds a faculty position at her alma mater, teaching graduate students Methods and Theory of Dance/Movement Therapy. Allyssa’s holistic approach, shaped by cultural awareness, supports transformative experiences, showcasing the capacity for dance and movement to bridge cultures and catalyze growth.

ABOUT NICO ALLEN:

Nico is a 5Rhythms teacher, trained actor, vocal artist and somatic explorer here to walk with you as you unleash the power hidden in your cells.

Through play, curiosity, and discovery we ask the body to show us where to go to access our most radical, fully expressed aliveness and wake up to the full spectrum brilliance inside you. Based in Brooklyn, Nico offers 1:1 somatic work and leads the epic 5Rhythms series BODYWERK, redefining just how liberating and healing a dance floor can be.
