Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

Creativity. Connection. Community.

There are no steps to learn. 5Rhythms can be practiced by anyone regardless of age, fitness, ability, or experience. For more information about what to expect in your first 5Rhythms class, see our About 5Rhythms page.

Inside of each of our hearts is a warm, cozy space where our sweetest, and most precious essence lives. When we abide in this place we feel nourished, connected, peaceful, creative, and whole; we feel at home! This event is an invitation for us to revisit that place together, so that we may remember it as we move into the winter.

Come sit by the fire, connect freely, and return home within.

This is a substance-free, all-day event that you can feel free to come and go from. We highly encourage you to come early and stay for the whole day, so that you can receive the full benefits of this experience! We have scheduled it in advance so that you can plan to be available for as much of it as possible.

We will enjoy three main ceremonies, and a plethora of workshops throughout the day! There will be 4 workshop spaces, and plenty of room to relax and be you. We look forward to soaking it all up with you! Scroll Down for more details…

This event is a part of a series of events by Soma Sol in which we are creating new holidays: Soma Solidays!

Soma Sol Community Space is an Intentional Community house in Silver Spring, MD. Our mission is to create nurturing, safer spaces within which healing, growth and transformation can occur on all levels, for individuals and communities alike.

To live fully today we must become attuned to ourselves — our physical, emotional, and spiritual condition — so that we may ride the eddies of our times not just gracefully, but with the courage of leaders in a movement of awakening.

This is the year we must step forward and own both our weaknesses and our strengths. This is the year that we must acknowledge our past so we can live fully in the present. The world is calling more loudly than ever for a new humanity — a humanity where raw authenticity is the daily norm and our open hearts lift us to a higher awareness of our connectedness and responsibility.

In this workshop, we will create a crucible to melt the façade that hides our Light. We will, as a community, build and undergo an alchemical experience that leaves us feeling comfortable in our fluid, emotional nature and grounded in our life’s purpose and service in 2020.
