I do believe it’s time for my first “newsletter”.  Consider it a love letter, and an invitation.

First, a big thank you to those who joined the circle of my practice classes, and you who have expressed interest and support.  You’ve made a huge contribution to my ability to complete the 5Rhythms® teacher training.  Your openness, energy, and feedback really supported me on this learning journey.  I felt like a very rich woman as I flew off to my last training module to join well over a hundred other trainees and teachers from all over the world… your participation and warmth have carried me.

My hope is to continue how we started: in kind community, in an adventurous spirit that leads to learning.  5Rhythms is one of the great learning pushes of my life, and it has filtered into all my roles and work in this world.  It's provided a radical tune-up for my attitude to learning and to life.  

I simply want to share this way to grow and learn: each dancer for herself or himself, and all of us together.  Healing through the body, movement, and embodied self-awareness has revolutionized my life at least 3 times now.  I'm motivated to hold space for others’ brewing movement revolutions and paths of self-care.

Several of you have asked about future classes.  
I am pleased to announce a Big Launch Series (well, big to me, anyway)… of 3 classes:

Way of the Wave
November 21
November 28, &
December 19, 
NOTE: 7:30 -9:30 p.m.  That's a change in our class time, to allow for more space to arrive and settle in.

Way of the Wave will continue in the new year: the last 2 Friday evenings of each month, 7-9 p.m.  Just reach out for any information you might need:
- by email: [email protected]
- by phone: (250) 710-1998

PLEASE FEEL EVER SO FREE TO PASS ON THIS INFORMATION TO OTHERS AND PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH ME.  
It’s time for communication and community-weaving.

More about these classes:
Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth.  - Gabrielle Roth, creator of the 5Rhythms®
We are made of energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. In 5Rhythms moving meditation, we follow their truth as they rise and fall: we dance ourselves free.  Instruction in this powerful (and powerfully fun) practice will be balanced with space to simply explore, express and exist.  I invite you to get your toes wet: all are welcome, no previous experience needed.  Dive into the dance that only you can do.

On the practical side: consider arriving up to 15 minutes early if you can, to give yourself time to transition from your day into the dance - and so we can make a good beginning together and warm up gently.  For your basic self-care, dress in layers and remember your water bottle.

Everyone, I am open to feedback and conversation.  I’m learning for myself that the wisdom of the group field is never-ending!  My ears are open.

If you have ideas about a dance space or time that might serve this community (or you specifically, as part of this community), do feel free to share.  Of course, there is no solution that will work for everyone.  But it's a question worth asking.

I will be so happy to see you when and if my classes can serve you again - hopefully well into the future. 

With heart,
Chantell
