5R Update - a long one
Dear all,
And a soggy return to Findhorn it is.
It was so lovely to teach a class in London; there were people there who have danced with me here in Findhorn, in Greece recently, 13 years ago when I was pregnant with Kezia. I danced at someone else's class on Monday night and at the end the teacher Sarah said the first class she went to 12 years ago was with me and thanked me - it was strange and warm to feel so at home, away from home, in the area I grew up in. I am still a North London girl even if I adore this land and the Bay of Findhorn.
Various people have asked me about the Thursday classes. In case you didn't get the email I sent in June, I decided to take a break this term from teaching them. I was tired and needing the space to feel into where my passion for this work honestly lies. What I have discovered so far is not so surprising to me; that my great love is to work deeply and intimately with people. What does this look like?

5R Update 14 June 2010
Dear all,
Attached is the Summer Calendar [PDF opens in new window]. As you will see, there are 2 more Thursday classes before the summer break, quite a few SYP over the summer and a couple of Intro Wednesdays, including the open session during the week long dance event. Some of this is in The Park and some in Cluny, Forres. It is all on the website if you forget - or on this calendar which you can keep, print out, or look at posted around the Park.
I hope it is clear enough. There are a few dates still uncertain (depending on the Nairn jazz festival) so i have left them out and if they happen, in August, will email separately.
I am teaching some, Bettina is teaching a few SYP and Sarena Wolfaard from Edinburgh with be holding a SYP in the beginning of July. Enjoy!
I am in a review process about the weekly classes and will send a separate email about that as soon as I have had the time to write it!
Up and coming workshops 2010/11:
There are other things brewing; Retreats for Individuals, a weekend in Sheffield, an on-going group in Geneva, Secret Garden parties in Edinburgh, London and Bristol (and Paris??) and more. My Angel of Openness for the year is having a field day playing with my terror of the unknown and the excitement that comes when new things happen.
Keep in touch :)

5R Update 17 February 2010
Dear all,
Is it Winter or Spring? Can't quite tell. I think it's both; the need to rest and brew still strong and at the same time bird song and light calling new ideas forward up from dark hidden spaces. I find this an exciting time. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching a class in Greenwich, London on Saturday morning. 30 people, most of whom I'd never met. At least one of them is probably coming up to take part in 'Secret Garden' in just over 2 weeks - so many people still wanting to come visit here who have never been. It fascinates me that different workshops for different people are the trigger for someone to go " OK, Now I will go to Findhorn". (Read More...)

Findhorn Update 3 February 2010
Hi all,
'Replenish' happened and it was a delicious, still-flow, dancing delight. It was great to have some new faces as well as regulars for the 3 days. It may well become a regular event. Thank you to Elliott, Monica & Margo (S&PD) and Hanna & Dave (U.Hall) for supporting it happening as well as participating.
The simple news is;
Deepening Waves class tomorrow night Thursday 4th 7.30-9.30pm
Sweat Your Prayers Sunday 7th 7-8.30pm with Bettina
There will be two people on the door tomorrow night hopefully, to ease the new price increase and bundle cards into effect. Please note:

Findhorn Update 14 January 2010
Hello all,
a reminder that the Thursday Deepening Waves classes start again tonight. Looking forward to seeing you then.
The new price increase will begin in 3 weeks, giving time for dialogue/feedback to occur: £10 flat fee per class, £8 NFA and £7 concessions (OAP, students/unemployed). Your friendly door people will be exercising their Staccato muscles for those of you who ask to pay concessions. In addition, I am offering a payment card: pay for 10 classes and you get 2 free. This will, I hope, soften the price increase from £6 to £8 for many of you . It is also intended to encourage commitment to classes – your practice and classes really benefit from regular attendance, which I appreciate as well. The payment card will probably be kept on the door – to be discussed with the door crew! They will be valid for 6 months from date of purchase. Please note, that while the NFA price is £8 which is what most of you would be due to pay (if you are NFA members...); if you buy 12 classes for the price of 10 that works out at £6.66 per class which is only an increase of 66p from what most of you were paying.
Conversations will no doubt continue, in the meantime please do take advantage of the following: Replenish: 30 January 30 - 1 February 2010. AND I am very excited to be teaching a week in Greece, 2-9th July, at Jock’s Centre in Kalikalos. I met Jock during my experience week in 1986 when he did my nature sharing. It was really due to him that my life changed about so much as I ended up staying on (instead of leaving on the saturday) to help out in the Apothecary (where the Visitors Centre is now) for the next 3 months and on and off over the next couple of years. So i am pleased to be able to now offer 5Rhythms at what sounds like such a lovely place - I have never been to Greece and it has been on my wish list for a long time. Please check out the flier to book. The earlier you book the cheaper the travel and there is a 5% discount if you pay in full before 90 days (April 2nd approx).
With love,
Deborah

Final News from Asia
Dear all,
well, what happened? i got to Chiang Mai and haven't written anything since. I am now leaving for Singapore airpot in just over an hour for the mega flight home and an adjustment from 30 degrees that feels like 37 to -5 that will feel COLD.
Chiang Mai feels like a new home, new friends, a wonderful place. i taught, did yoga, went on the back or a scooter, shopped (of course), went into the mountains and saw some hill tribes, met up with an Israeli/Findhorn friend Azriel who has been living there for over a year who I hadn't seen in 5 years and over all loved being there.

News from Singapore (+Findhorn update!)
Dear all,
Hello from Singapore!
Well, here I am on the last leg of my extraordinary journey. I just spent 3 days travelling by train from Northern Thailand to Singapore. I jiggled and rumbled, read and listened to music and stared out the window for hours. I loved it. I am now gearing up for more than the slight adjustment I will need to make to the weather when I get back next week. (Read More...)

Update 11 August 2009
Dear all,
a quiet Tuesday evening and I am gearing up for a full few weeks of teaching. I shall detail it all below. I am glad to be teaching, immersing myself in the music, movement and breath of this practice that I love. I am feeling deeply touched by the news that Gabrielle Roth has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. There are no details for the mind to grasp onto, just an apparently massive facebook page and a lot of prayers and healing wishes winging their way from all over the globe to her, her husband Robert and son Jonathan. All workshops and trainings are continuing with others stepping in and up to the challenge and call. Nothing is really changing and yet my insides are affected; Gabrielle and this path have been at the core of my spiritual jouney for the past 22 years - the year after I came to Findhorn. There is though only one practice as ever; to keep dancing, breathing, offering and surrendering. Shaky ground indeed - so lets keep grounding into our beings, focusing our intentions and letting our hearts melt and souls soar as we learn how to journey through this unpredictable terrain called life. Where and when below:
More to follow but that's enough for the next couple of weeks!

Dear all,
Firstly thank you for the phenomenal response to my email asking for feedback. 30 people have replied with a range of responses that have been very insightful and useful to read for Bettina and myself. I can say the Dance Studio is certainly not some peoples favourite place to be! Whilst some have also grown to love and appreciate the holding and intimacy it offers.
Goddess & the Whore was a huge success. 13 women gathered at Newbold and have emerged nourished and juicer I would say :) Having taken part 3 years running now, I realise that a workshop is the wrong word to describe it, it is more a life-changing and enhancing event. Blessed am I.

Dear 5Rhythms dancers,
Here is some more information about what is happening in the Community over the next wee while. As a reminder, due to the floor being sanded in the Auditorium (and the new film screen and equipment being installed) we have some changes of venue as there are also events happening in Cluny. So we dance between Cluny Ballroom and the Dance studio. Don't worry about space, there is always the magic of the art of circulation, with the breath in the body and the body in the room. I know myself the myriad of excuses I can come up with NOT to dance and.... I have never regretted showing up in over 20 years of this practice being in my life. (Read More...)

Update from New York!
Happy New Year to you all from the Big apple!
Yes, here I am having a nourishing and inspiring time with Gabrielle and 45 other teachers. Going over some basics in teaching material and also studying 'Mirrors" work - that is the work of the ego and the many guises it shows up in, specifically in teaching but of course in all our relationships. I feel lucky, privileged, grateful etc.
The New Years Event was a wonderful success - one of the best ever. A slightly mad, 'random' open session that some people loved and some detested...... but engaged us all in the dance in a different way which I think is always beneficial!
I am doing my absolute best to get venues for classes confirmed for this term. Due to the floor in the auditorium being sanded and workshops in Cluny we will be moving about... (Read More...)

Hello this beautiful cold, bright morning,
The last few classes of 2008 are occurring in the next week. Thank you all for your ongoing presence, engagement, commitment and passion for showing up; for yourself and the dance, here in this fantastic group of dancers. It has been a rich year of study and work for me. As I finish teaching the second ongoing Heart2Heart group, I am very grateful for the Heartbeat training I was able to take part in with Gabrielle Roth. These ongoing groups have been so rewarding; meeting week after week with the same group of people, and the individual sessions that each person receives, touches me deeply. These are challenging times and this work can be profound in what it offers. I will be sending out the dates for my next ongoing course soon. (Read More...)

New Year's Event 2008/2009
I love the Bodysurf Scotland New Years Event which is why I am excited about teaching on it again. This year, having had a year off, we are trying something different. Karl and I have invited Robert Anderson, an old friend of ours from London who teaches Contact Improvisation in London and all over to join us. With a mix of 5R and CI sessions, time off to relax in the hot tub and walk on the beach, two open sessions for those who can't or don't want to participate in the whole thing, dinner in the Community Centre each day so we get to share food, local and far away dancers (inc. Japan and Ireland so far!), a fabulous Hogmanay Ceilidh and party, this promises to be a wonderful 5 days. (Read More...)
