5R Update
Dear all,
hello from a wild and windy Geneva - makes me feel right at home.
I have just finished teaching a wonderful workshop here - over half of the 35 people were new to 5Rhythms and it was so inspiring to see how deep we could go when just dancing 'the basics'....
On to Bangkok tomorrow - that will be a change!
In the meantime, for Moray folk, Hamid will be teaching a class on Wednesday night, 7.30-9.30pm £5 in the Dance Studio, downstairs in the Universal Hall.
Also, for the women out there, I am excited that Julie Deal will be back in Findhorn at the end of November. We will be offering a Secret Garden appetiser! Saturday 27th November 2-6pm Cluny Ballroom, Dinner for those that wish at my place, The Cottage, Station House, followed by sauna and massage. You can come just for the afternoon or the whole thing. More details on how to book to follow.
enjoy
with love

Ongoing Group in Geneva
Dear all,
I am very happy to announce that my first ever Ongoing Group will be taking place in Geneva next year. Quite why Geneva is beyond me ~ maybe it is because the United Nations are there, maybe it is the lake with the Alps all around, maybe the fantastic Bains Des Paquis, the public sauna, steam, Hammam plunge-in-the lake-in-winter or sunbathe-and-swim-in-the-summer, haven I have visited both times I have taught there this year!
When I taught in Geneva in April, half the people in the room had danced with me in Findhorn. This time, we had a tea and chat for all those wanting to know about the Foundation and Community. It is this interest in Findhorn, that is integral in my teaching, that also brings me to Geneva.
I was first invited to Geneva by Sam and Sabrina MacDuff, friends from Findhorn (who met on a workshop I taught there). Now my work there is being ably organised by Adela Bevan, who has also danced with me in Findhorn and Guilliaume will be translating for me. A wonderful team has evolved to support the development of my teaching there. There is a shared feeling of appreciation and excitement in the air... Kat Forrester, long time organiser for Movement Medicine and 5Rhythms workshops wrote to Adela and I after this weekend "Deborah’s way of teaching resonates profoundly in my soul; I repeat: Geneva is very lucky to have this happening, thanks to you both for being willing to stretch yourselves out to provide it."
So if my teaching also resonates in your soul (thanks Kat, that's beautiful), if the idea of travelling through 2011 with a committed group of people attracts you; to engage deeply, vulnerably and excitedly with all that is available to us - then please contact Adela soon as places are limited: Adela Bevan adelamaryann@hotmail.com.
You are welcome to join us there wherever you live - if you live outside of Geneva, we have some lovely offers from people happy to host dancers.
with much love and autumnal wishes to you, near and far,
Deborah

Findhorn Update 30 June 2010
Dear dancing people,
Firstly, thank you so much to all the people who have replied to the letter I sent out about taking a break from the Thursday evening class. I have loved hearing from those I see every week and those I might rarely see but are still connected in. I am sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to each of you individually. Secondly, I am not going anywhere (well apart from Geneva and Thailand...)!
I have had heart warming wishes that I enjoy my time out, panic about will there be any chance to still dance 5Rhythms here in Findhorn - it is just the Thursday class that is taking a break. I will still be working, offering Individual Sessions, 3 day Retreats, SYP - along with Bettina, and more sporadic one-off daytime sessions, at weekends and maybe something during the week -I am not sure yet and am taking the luxury of not knowing!
In the meantime this Sunday is an extra long SYP 7-9pm with Sarena from Edinburgh who is sharing the music with DJ Monkey Magic. I am sorry to miss it. Enjoy! Sarena has been practicing 5Rhythms dance for 10 years; she is an accredited teacher with Gabrielle Roth and teaching regular classes in Edinburgh; she is currently studying Process Oriented Psychology.
Various other SYP are happening over the next couple of months, the week long in August, Belladrum music festival and Saturday 4th September 2-5pm.
With love and appreciation,
Deborah
