Description:

The late Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5 Rhythms movement practice, was a quintessential woman of the body and sometimes called an “urban shaman.” Gregory Bateson was an iconic man of the mind and a foundational contributor to most modern methods of systemic therapy. Bateson and Roth interacted at Esalen in the legendary times during the late 1970s and Bateson encouraged Roth to bring her creation into the world. This workshop will explore the work of these two pioneers and how to integrate movement and mind to create generative resources for change and healing.

Educational Objectives:

1. List the Five Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth and describe how they contribute to the process of change.
2. Apply Gregory Bateson’s strategy of “living metaphor” to discover and transfer resources from one area of a person’s life to another.
3. Practice combining movement and metaphor to generate solutions and promote healing.
