Sweat Your Prayers is a gathering where we bring our
individual 5Rhythms practice and move through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato,
Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness with intention and in community.
To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your
innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that
release your past. Sweat is an ancient and universal form of self-healing,
whether done in the gym, the sauna, or the sweat lodge. I do it on the dance
floor. The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you
pray. The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy. ~ Gabrielle Roth,
Sweat Your Prayers
It is a moving meditation practice with music and very
minimal instruction. There's no step to learn. We dance our own dance.
Everybody's welcomed! Please come ready to sweat, bring your curiosity, a water
bottle and your friends.
Guest teacher: Aaron Lifshin
Aaron has been teaching the 5Rhythms for over 2 years.
His perspective on the dance practice arises from a desire to know who we are
and how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world. He is passionate
about embodied spirituality as well as progressive activism and the magic and
metaphor of literary language. Coming from an intellectual upbringing, he has
moved through many worlds: an Ivy League college, the high-tech corporate
sphere, the arena of politics and activism, and more. These days, the 5Rhythms
dance floor is his home and source of liberation.
