“THE POWER OF LOVING”
Heartbeat Level

Led by Silvija Tomčik

06-08.02.2026. PRAGUE

“The first creative task is to free the body to experience the power of being.

The second major task is to express the heart, freeing the emotions to experience the power of loving.”
Gabrielle Roth

On this weekend workshop we will explore the energy of our emotions. Transforming our relationship to them, by expressing and releasing what we still carry, we will find a way back to their purity and directness in the moment.

Following Gabrielle’s Heartbeat map we will work with the five basic emotions — fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion, and all their nuances that we don’t even need to name. These are an essential and vital part of what we feel when we feel love. When we love, our hearts are challenged to feel the full range of our emotions. Our practice is to find the fluidity from one to another, the honesty of emotion with ourselves and others, the clear embodiment that allows us to stay grounded and centred when a Wave of any emotion passes through us.

Silvija Tomčik has been teaching 5Rhythms® since 2001, offering everything from weekly classes to international retreats. Trained by Gabrielle Roth in Waves (2001) and Heartbeat (2010), she was part of the Teacher Training Staff with Jonathan Horan (2013–2020).

Author of WAVES: Voice and Vision book, Silvija blends clarity, imagination, humor, and wisdom with a rich variety of music. Her grounded, inspiring presence invites dancers to discover the freedom of their own unique movement.

“I experience Silvija as someone vital, honest and present. The way she speaks and teaches, she is one with what is. This brings everyone to the here and now with passion and compassion. Her humor and respect at the same time are contagious to the group and make her work both deep and transformational.”
