15 - 21 August 2009: Vital Moves - Waves® (Findhorn)One week in the Findhorn Foundation with Deborah Jay-Lewin and Foundation guest faculty
Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms are a spiritual movement practice. They are a reflection of patterns and energies that live inside us all. As creatures of habit we often limit our full range of expression, settling into conditioned ways we feel comfortable with. Dancing the 5Rhythms Wave, through Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness, we nourish and release the full potential of our physical, emotional and mental well-being. This week is a beautiful opportunity to spaciously explore each of the Rhythms in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, both in the dance space and in the Community.
Fees (including accommodation and full board)

30 May - 04 June 2009: Vital Moves - Heartbeat® (Findhorn)5 days in the Findhorn Foundation with Deborah Jay-Lewin and Foundation guest faculty
Heartbeat® is the emotional map that corresponds to the physical map of the 5Rhythms®, as created by Gabrielle Roth. While the body moves through the Wave® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos Lyrical and Stillness, the heart moves through its own cycle – Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy and Compassion. This workshop is suitable for those who want to deepen their practice and explore their own inner landscape with curiosity and commitment, breath and awareness. Each emotion is a world unto its own, opening doorways into layers and textures that can bring a new quality into our dance and enrich our experience as human beings in this crazy world we live in. Pre-requisite: a minimum of 10 hours Waves® with an accredited 5Rhythms teacher, and a willingness to be vulnerable and fascinated...

8 November 2008: WaveRave (Findhorn)8.00pm – 1.00am, Universal Hall, Findhorn
with Deborah Jay-Lewin & DJ Monkey Magic
After three years of Wave Raving together, 5Rhythms® teacher Deborah Jay-Lewin and DJ Monkey Magic are finally moving their unique and pioneering collaboration of 5Rhythms and DJ skills to a full blown Saturday Night Special! The evening will start with a 5Rhythms intro class open to all, moving into a special extended Wave® with all new music and energy, culminating in free for all dancing with all things funky from the Magic Monkey.
WHAT IS THE WAVE®? As creatures of habit, we often limit our full range of expression, only moving in conditioned ways we feel comfortable with. This causes us to lose some of our vitality as we become restricted in our physical, emotional and mental health & artistry. Dancing the 5Rhythms Wave, through Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical & Stillness, shakes all this up, inside and out. A great way to overcome self-consciousness and enjoy the pleasure of moving the body to music that insists on being danced to.
DEBORAH JAY-LEWIN is the longest standing 5Rhythms teacher in Scotland. Since 1994 she has taught 1000’s of people worldwide and still manages to run her hugely successful weekly class- es in the Findhorn Community. Her teaching and musical style are second to none, off ering people of all levels and abilities the chance to move, express and release stress – benefiting from an up- lifting experience of freedom, enjoyment and connection. For more information, please call Deborah on 07968 145428 or go to www.vitalmoves.co.uk.
DJ MONKEY MAGIC, with over 14 years of 2, 3, 4 & 8 deck mixing shenanigans under his belt, has DJ’d all over the UK, Europe & beyond with the Zenmasters, Kinetic, Off Centre, Animal Behaviour and DJ Partner in crime Mr King. He has released music for Deep Water Records and the mighty Kingz of Steel turntablist compilations, his very fi rst single becoming Single Of The Month in Ministry Magazine and receiving airplay from John Peel, Steve Lamacq and DJ Food on Radio 1. Described with cohort Mr King as “The best new DJs in years” by the legendary Mr Scruff , expect a seam- less mix with an emphasis on all things Funk & the BreakBeat with the Monkeys magic touch. www.myspace.com/monitomusic & www.myspace.com/mrkingandmonkeymagic

26-28 September 2008: Nourishing the Source w/ 5Rhythms
Weekend Workshop for Women, Warsaw, PolandCome and explore what is nourishing for you as a woman, entering into the feminine mysteries. Some women may feel at home in this territory, for others it can be an alien landscape. However present or absent nourishment is in your life, come dance deep to expand into the fullness of your tender, raw, wild, passionate being.There will be movement and bodywork, music and silence, connection and space – a chance to remove ourselves from the demands of daily life to emerge again as radiant women. While each Rhythm offers its own gateway into nourishment at different times, to attend to different needs, Flowing is the ultimate teacher. This weekend will be devoted to the body, our dancing, what we eat, even what we wear. Let’s enjoy! (English/Polish Flyer available on the Downloads page)
