“JUICY”
5Rhythms® Heartbeat Level
27-29.06.2025. MONTPELLIER
led by Silvija Tomčik
In this workshop, we begin by liberating the life energy within our physical bodies, welcoming movement and sensation. We then move to liberate the life energy within our emotional bodies, our hearts, welcoming the flow of feelings.
Every encounter on this journey is a reflection of our own hearts—their emptiness and fullness, their joys and sorrows, their wisdom and innocence.
As our hearts awaken, our sexuality stirs within our moving bodies. We’ll explore the connection between our emotional and sexual selves, investigating how dance and movement meditation can support sexual healing.
How can we reclaim responsibility for our sexual energy—its direction and expression—rather than burying it under layers of guilt? How can we experience pleasure without self-blame or the urge to give it all away?
How can we heal the shame we carry about our bodies, hearts, and sexuality? What do we need to feel safe and secure in our own desires and appetites, so that we can eventually meet another’s with openness and authenticity?
The dance floor becomes a safe and sacred space to move with our “juiciness,” guided by the 5Rhythms map.
I am curious about what it takes to bridge our hearts and our sexuality, and what they can co-create. How fear transforms into excitement, anger into passion, and sadness finds orgasmic release. How generosity flows from joy, and how the unity of breath, heartbeat, and body can connect us to the Divine and the Universe.
“If the heart is not free to experience the power of loving, if we are emotionally blocked and holding back feelings, there is no way we can experience total orgasm, or total well-being.” Gabrielle Roth
Silvija Tomčik, was introduced 30 years ago to Gabrielle Roth’s teachings through her book Maps to Ecstasy. It was a powerful encounter, which motivated Silvija to begin searching for teachers of the 5Rhythms to begin her dancing path. Since then she has been organizing 5Rhythms workshops in Croatia bringing it 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 has finished Waves Teacher Training with Gabrielle in 2001., and in 2010. the Heartbeat Teacher Training. Silvija has been a part of the Teacher Training Staff with Jonathan Horan 2013-2020. Silvija published her book “WAVES: Voice and Vision”, in collaboration with 20 artists. She teaches workshops using her imagination, great variety of music, her grounded way of dancing and her love for the freedom of being in the body to prompt people to discover their personal dance and healing movement.
“With her grounded no nonsense way of teaching she seduces to dive into our body heart mind and soul to dance and explore this territory. Alone and in contact with others. Her sense of humor brings twinkles of light in the room and her creativity of coming up with metaphors for the Rhythms is endless.” Rimke Pepers, 5Rhythms Teacher
