It is our great pleasure to present to you a series of conversations with an “urban shaman”, a cartographer of the inner space, an author, a musician, a dancer, and the founder of the 5Rhythms – Gabrielle Roth. This is the second episode of the series.

  • Chaos resonates in the neck, shoulders, head
  • Lyrical resonates in the hands
  • Stillness resonates in the breath
  • We can learn to dance from anytihng – flower, rock, mountain, animals…
  • Not “good” and “bad” – what is – is.
  • In the West, we became afraid of fear
• Dance of the nations
  • We are in a millenium of Chaos, a humbling time. Shattering.
  • The US might not be a super-power.
  • It’s a review of what am I going to die for, and what am I living for
• Body as a Living Bible
