ONGOING TRILOGY

BARCELONA 2023/2024

Waves and Heartbeat Level

“CONTACT – INTIMACY – SEXUALITY”

Led by Silvija Tomčik, accredited 5Rhythms teacher

1st Module  „CONTACT“   05-07.05.2023.

2nd Module  „INTIMACY“  24-26.11.2023. 

3rd Module  „SEXUALITY“  03-05.05.2024.

In “Contact” first we practice getting in touch, in contact with

ourselves, our being, through our bodies and our movement.

Then we explore different ways to be and move with each

other, learning and growing through the contact that happens.

“On the dance floor, meeting complete strangers in the beat, you have

the opportunity to rip off your mask and relax into the rhythm of connection.”

Gabrielle Roth

In “Intimacy” first we practice getting in touch, in contact with

our own heart, its openings and closings, its movement and

stillness, its emotional waves. Staying present and holding our

heart’s hand whatever it feels. Having developed this ability we

cross the bridge to meet another heart and its waves. Practicing

how to meet in all the different “faces” of the heart.

“Intimacy is an open path, a bridge between my heart and yours. We get

stuck on the bridge because we don’t want to pay these tolls: total

surrender to vulnerability, spontaneity, and an open, unguarded heart.”

Gabrielle Roth

In “Sexuality” first we practice getting in touch, in contact with

our own sexual energy, how it comes and goes, how it moves

inside of us and how it shapes our dance. Knowing more of this

essential life force inside of us, we have more ground and more

boundaries to meet the sexual energy of others who we meet at

the dance floor.

“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

And we keep dancing it all, Wave after a Wave, clearing the

history, making space for present sensations and connections,

creating new highways inside of our body, heart and mind for

the life we want to live.

If you have reached a certain level in your practice, and if you are ready

for a new stage of insight, or you desire the continuity and cohesion that

this group is offering, this will give you time to explore the map of the

5Rhythms progressively and to connect deeply with other dancers in the

group who have the same commitment.

During these 3 modules we will be meeting the same group of people, so we can relax into it and

develop our relationships. This continuity creates a powerful group field

for our sharing and learning.

Silvija Tomčik,  was introduced 23 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 than 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.
