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...)

Findhorn Update 29 October 2008

Dear all,
On the Downloads page is a poster advertising the a fabulous evening heading your way a week Saturday: A WaveRave with DJ Monkey Magic and myself. Please do email it to anyone you think may be interested, even if they haven't danced the Rhythms before.  After the Body Parts warm up I will give a short intro for any newcomers to the practice. Thanks.
Also, next Thursday 6th November, Sarena Wolfaard, a 5Rhythms teacher from Edinburgh is going to come teach the class. We bumped into each other at a 5R class in London- and decided to do a swap. She is coming here next week and I am going to teach her class down there on Sunday 7th December and then whizz back for the SYP that night. To read Sarena's bio go to click on Teachers at  http://www.5rhythms-scotland.com
All love
Deborah

Findhorn Update 9 October 2008

Hello on this beautiful Autumn day.
I am actually writing this on a plane -  I hope I find a WiFi signal on land soon. I am away again for a couple of weeks now, a mixture of work in Barcelona and holidays. I hope the colour of the leaves in this exquisite time of year helps us all to keep awake to magic and to appreciate the beauty of impermanence.
