Monday Morning Moving Meditation
You are warmly invited to a 5Rhythms-based online dance to gather together in an inclusive and supportive virtual community. Each week we will move, witness each other, and nourish our body-mind-soul for the week ahead.
The 5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice suitable for all abilities and ages. The Rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness all carry teachings for our emotional, physical and spiritual growth.
We will utilize our dance to resource ourselves and wake ourselves up to a greater consciousness for these challenging and changing times. Come join me. You are welcome here.

Restore & Revive: Fusion Classes
In this weekly class series, we infuse the 5Rhythms® practice with the somatic teachings from Body Mind Centering™, Laban movement, the Bartenieff Fundamentals and Integrative Body Psychotherapy. As a Certified Movement Analyst, Marcia will support and guide you to resource deep within your body. The classes will focus on using mindfulness techniques, developmental movement patterning and conscious dance to connect and integrate our body-mind. The first part of the class is focused on a embodiment theme which we explore. The second part takes our exploration into a 5Rhythms Wave where we can experience the theme throughout our moving meditation practice.

5Rhythms® Workshops
Here are what some participants shared about previous workshops:
“Marcia knows the work, the work of resting into humanness. The space she creates is for that. There’s no ego, no pushing, no willfulness. We come as we are and leave even more so.” ~Mia~
“My first 5 Rhythm dance was an amazing experience. Being a teacher myself, it is not hard for me to spot a real and authentic teacher. You provided us with space, safety and love. You guided us to be our real selves through dancing and movement. I felt no fear in your presence and could move with authenticity and truth.” ~N~
“The feeling of being blessed began with the first welcoming smile, and continued as the fragrant cedar bow glistened me with water–a beautiful ritual each dancer received to activate the sacred waters within. My body breaks into joyous applause, released to dip and fly through Marcia’s invocation of the spirits, gorgeous sound, and guidance in thinning the veils. Marcia’s intention and presence made room for all emotions, realms, expressions and transmissions and shepherded us through a delicious evening of connection–within ourselves, among those on the floor, held by those who came before us. ” ~Sara~
“From the moment I walked into the beautiful space Marcia and her crew created at the Labyrinth, I felt I had come home to a safe place where I was free to explore my body, heart and soul through the joyous, healing power of dance. It was a magical night of community and connection, all thanks to Marcia’s wondrous gift as a facilitator.” ~Roz~
“it provided me with an opportunity for healing of something I have been moving with for some time. Nourishing on many levels.” ~Bettina~
“The safety of the space and the group – it allowed me to go really deep into myself and to stay present in my body, without forcing it or making the judgement. The authenticity that came through was very healing and empowering.” ~K~

NOURISH
Mind, Body, Spirit
A 5Rhythms Dance and Movement Workshop with Marcia FW Jones
100 Mile House, BC
We come together to be NOURISHED. Our bodies seek loving care and attention. Our hearts long for expression and healing. Our souls cry out for re-connection with something deeper and more meaningful in our lives.
The 5Rhythms® dance practice provides a map of inquiry for all of these aspects of ourselves. When we put our bodies in motion, many things can be revealed, released and re-balanced.
NOURISH is an invitation for a weekend of self-nurturing in community. We turn towards our authentic self and tap into our inner realms.
What does your body temple desire? How can you tend to your
heart space? What physical practices support your connection to Spirit?
NO Experience necessary. All abilities and ages 16+ welcome.

5Rhythms® Fundamentals Workshop with Marcia
Gabrielle Roth was an ecstatic dance pioneer and a visionary. Her discovery and creation of the 5Rhythms moving meditation practice decades ago at Esalen was one of the first awakenings of conscious dance practice. Since then, many other ecstatic dance practices have been spun off of her web. In this one day workshop, we return to the pure essence of Gabrielle’s teachings and reap the rewards of her transformative moving meditation practice.
In this workshop beginners and seasoned dancers will have the opportunity to learn and embody each of the 5Rhythms: Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness™. The 5Rhythms can be described as ecstatic dance but it is much more than that. The practice gives us specific tools to unlock our creative soul-spirit and find freedom in our body, heart and mind!
Using the body as our tool and gateway, we will discover our personal expression of each Rhythm and how they influence all aspects of our lives. This workshop is an invitation to witness and support each other to explore deeply into the 5R practice – a journey of curiosity, personal revelation and self-healing.
“Dance is my gateway to a deeper sense of unity and…it’s my gateway to more deeply live and occupy my body, my heart and my mind.” Gabrielle Roth
No experience needed. All bodies welcome aged 16+
Instructor: Marcia Wakarchuk Jones, Certified Movement Analyst, 5Rhythms® Teacher

About 5Rhythms®
Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action.
Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.
Creativity. Connection. Community.
