As a Certified Transformative Mediator, I hold spaces for movement of ideas and emotions. I listen, reflect, and summarize what is being said, while also following the energy of the words (volume, cadence, clarity). The design of transformative mediation is to empower and usher participants from states of self-absorption and isolation to states of recognition and empowerment.
As a 5Rhythms® dancer and teacher, I hold a space for movement of the body. I find that moving in the 5Rhythms tradition can reveal a palette of solutions to problems I am facing. Movement of my body enhances movement of my mind (gaining new insights) and my heart (feeling emotions bubble up). The 5Rhythms dance floor is a place designed to dissolve the chatter of our minds to make room for the voice of our deepest wisdom.
“Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less.” — Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5Rhythms
