The Hero's Journey is an archetypal path of individual transformation. It is a map that shows the stages of our personal process of evolution. These stages are revealed time and again in myths and legends in all cultures throughout the history of humanity. While the structure of these stages is universal, the expression is completely unique for each individual.

At different times in our lives we are aware of a calling; a push or pull forward. This starts us on a path of learning and growth. Along this path we meet inevitable challenges. Confronting these challenges forces us to evolve in new ways and directions and brings us to a journey of self-discovery. This journey involves crossing a threshold into a new territory outside of our comfort zones, finding the proper guardians (resources), and facing and transforming inner “demons” or “shadows.”

In order to complete such a journey effectively, we need maps, tools and resources. The Five Rhythms® is a powerful, body-based dance practice developed by Gabrielle Roth. These five rhythms-flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness-are archetypal patterns that form a somatic path for personal transformation and release the wisdom of the body. Bringing these rhythms alive in our bodies can help us to cross thresholds, explore new territories, meet and heal inner demons and shadows, and connect more deeply with ourselves and others.

This deep, innovative and experiential program will bring together the Hero's Journey structure with the Five Rhythms® and tools and principles of NLP. Participants will work on areas of change and transition in their lives, using movement to awaken and instill needed resources so that they are there and available for us “in the muscle.”

Participants will learn how to:

• More effectively recognize and manage the stages of change they are experiencing
• Connect with and transform the energetic source of difficult feelings
• Overcome blocks and move forward on their life paths with more freedom and flexibility
• Bring more energy, creativity and generativity into their daily lives
• Handle challenging situations with more elegance and ease
