5Directions (Geelong)
“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” Lao Tzu
Sunday 23 August - 5Directions Workshop
10:00am – 5:00pm
This immersive full-day workshop explores five powerful directions within the 5Rhythms map—simple yet transformative approaches that expand how we move, respond and engage with life.
As founder Gabrielle Roth observed, when we're trapped in our thinking it's difficult to know which way to turn. Through movement we learn to settle the nervous system, trust the body's wisdom and allow clearer direction to emerge.
The workshop will be led by David Juriansz, joined by guest teacher Evelyn Switajewski, who has been nurturing the Geelong 5Rhythms community for over a decade. Together they create a supportive, playful and welcoming environment where both newcomers and experienced dancers can deepen their practice.
Suitable for all levels—from complete beginners to experienced movers.
