It all started with a growing voice….
At the beginning, in 2017, I started writing something like a blog that I would send in monthly newsletters promoting the program of „Dance of
the Rhythms“ association. It helped me a lot to have this regular and steady rhythm of writing, especially on days I struggled with inspiration and
discipline. My writing was growing with this continuing practice of putting in words what I love about 5Rhythms and what I learn from this map and
this practice. One of the things I loved the most was to create these writing Waves. So, after receiving consistent positive feedback from those who
read my newsletter on how much they enjoyed these writings, as well as numerous encouraging suggestions to write a book, I decided on a first step: My first book would be a variation on the collection of all the Waves I wrote so far.
"Silvija offers a smorgasbord of waves, bringing their intricate interrelatedness and wisdom to the surface. Just like on the dance floor, every wave has a different flavour—some immersed in the movement of the body, others in the heart. Feel free to pick and choose what calls to you in the moment and enjoy the exploration."
Zvjezdana Kastrapeli, 5Rhythms dancer and interpreter
"This collection is the voice of a unique 5Rhythms devotee: honest and visceral in presenting the woundings and blessings of life. With Silvija, the personal becomes universal, drawing us into the collective human experience through wisdom and shared artistic visions."
Zdenka Sajko, 5Rhythms teacher
"This collection is a gem that made me swim deeper into the infinite universe of 5Rhythms in their individual gifts and in their totality as transformational journeys through our wilderness. Words to remember and to keep coming back to and dancing with again and again. What sheer delight to read."
Lina Nahhas, Social Innovator and 5Rhythms teacher
"Silvija’s dedication to our 5Rhythms practice is a soulful surrendered embodiment rooted in deep diving curiosity. Her embrace of the rhythms combined with her unstoppable intuitive heartbeat welcomes all to explore here. She reminds, rewinds, returns us back to what is most original and true. The real deal. Respect & gratitude for Silvija and her artistic journey."
Lorca Simons, Live Wire 5Rhythms creator and 5Rhythms teacher
"This is what devotion delivers. Silvija’s focused fluidity blossoms into a prismatic crystal of the discipline to be a free spirit. Gabrielle’s Maps embodied and intimate with magical visual collaborations to inspire."
Martha Peabody, Founder 5Rhythms Visual
