5Rhythms®

What is Five Rhythms? The 5Rhythms® are/is a moving meditation practice - moving with intention and attention to cultivate awareness - of ourselves, of each other, and of the group. With words and music, but sometimes only silence, the teacher invites participants to explore the rhythmic patterns of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. With curiosity and fascination, we dive deeper into ourselves, our skins, muscles, and bones to move beyond the-same-old patterns into moving art, becoming possibility in motion.

The Entering the Wave Fall Series has been offered by Lisa DeLand in Houston monthly since September 2010.
