Path of Compassion - 5Rhythms Movement Meditation

Path of Compassion

A transformative 5Rhythms workshop

with Bettina Rothe

March 12-14, 2010, Vancouver

"If you want to be happy, practice compassion.If you want others to be happy, practice compassion."-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Compassion is born out of a deep respect for ourselves as well as for others.As our own heart opens and heals, it naturally seeks the healing of all it touches.

In the 5Rhythms practice we dance to open our bodies and hearts.As we dive into the landscapes of our own psyche, we practice being present for our own selves, so we can begin to reach out in an authentic and compassionate way.Compassion may give rise to action at times and sometimes it may not.When we let go of our attachments of how this life or this moment should be,we can allow life, love, joys and pains to pass through our hearts.Then we can compassionately accept and embrace every moment as a gift and an opportunity for growth.No previous 5Rhythms experience is needed to participate in this transforming workshop.
