“HEART WAVES”
5Rhythms® Heartbeat level
Led by Silvija Tomčik
Sutivan, Island of Brač, CROATIA
24- 30.08.2026.
My heart wants to root me when fear rises,
to widen my senses as I keep learning how to flow.
My heart wants the presence of a black-belt master —
so grounded that conflict simply walks past.
My heart wants to empty the old aches,
make space for trust to breathe again.
My heart wants to shout hallelujah,
to spark with joy,
to dance through a sweet summer afternoon.
My heart wants to lay my head on your chest,
until the world falls silent.
We will go one day at a time, step by step following the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map.
We will dance 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening which gives us plenty of time to enjoy this beautiful island.
Prerequisites: 20 hours of Waves level and one weekend of Heartbeat level.
This workshop counts as 5 days of Heartbeat towards the Teacher Training.
The workshop is led in English.
The workshop begins on Monday 24th of August at 19:00 h and ends on Sunday 30th of August at 12:00 h.
Silvija Tomčik was introduced to Gabrielle Roth’s teachings through her book Maps to Ecstasy in her early twenties. It was a powerful encounter, which motivated Silvija to begin searching for 5Rhythms teachers with whom she could dance. She organized numerous 5Rworkshops in Croatia and Slovenia, bringing the practice for the first time to this part of the world. At the time she was working in the Center for Peace Studies and leading workshops on gender issues. She finished the Waves Teacher Training with Gabrielle in 2001, and Heartbeat Teacher Training in 2010. Silvija regularly teaches at weekend workshops and retreats internationally. In her teaching she combines clarity with imagination, humour with wisdom and a great variety of music. Her grounded way of dancing is inspiring. She is passionate about the freedom of being in the body as a way of prompting everyone to discover their personal dance and healing movement.
