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

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

Final News from Asia
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...)

News from Thailand
Here I am in a nondescript hotel room in Khon Kaen, North-East of Bangkok. Why Here? I have just completed 2 days of community service - aka 2 days teaching 90 teenagers and 20 teachers 5Rhythms, both for use as a weekly dance club they can sustain and for teachers who are experimenting with their curriculum to see how/what they can integrate. Oh my god. Almost an ordeal at times. (Read More...)
News from Bangkok
I write to you from Bangkok to remind you all that Martin is teaching another SYP in CLUNY BALLROOM this Sunday 15th November at 7.00-8.30pm as usual.
It is so hot and humid here - a welcome change from my usual November weather! teaching today was harder than I expected. Very loud air-conditioning, poor acoustics, getting the hang of teaching in Bangkok chaos which is very different than the more ordered way in Japan. We did great. I am completely at the mercy of wonderful translators for every word I say and keep needing to change the way i teach - use my body more to demonstrate which is great. (Read More...)

Another update; not sure when I would do this if not for planes. I am now on the plane from Tokyo to Bangkok. it's 30 degrees there - a far cry from what I understand is a frosty fresh Findhorn.
