The Well ~ 5Rhythms Waves Class Series with Layah
Wed Apr 3 - Wed May 22, 2024 (8 classes)
Roncesvalles United Church, 240 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto*
7-9pm

*wheelchair accessible*

Amidst our culture of high speed “doing”, 5Rhythms movement meditation offers us space to let ourselves “be”. Time to touch in on what’s below the surface. To dowse for wellsprings of wonder. A place for a community of practice to emerge, with room for each of us to arrive as we are. A space to nourish, replenish, and ReSource.

Come, let’s gather by the waters of our shared love of movement. Let’s make space to honour the ebb and flow of griefs and joys that dance through us. Let’s rest into the pleasures of good grooves, and the good company of other dancing seekers of the sacred. Let’s empty out, and let’s fill ourselves back up, with some long deep drinks from the Well.

All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.

Series discounts are available as well as advance single class tickets. Dancers are welcome to drop-in and pay cash at the door as well, provided we haven’t yet reached capacity.

Credit Card
To pay by credit card please register on Eventbrite.

Etransfer
To register in advance and save on Eventbrite fees, you are also welcome to pay via Etransfer. Please register on Eventbrite and use the promocode “etransfer”. This will give you 100% discount at checkout. To complete your registration, send an etransfer in the amount of the tuition tier you selected, to layahjane@hotmail.com. Your registration will be complete upon receipt of your etransfer. No payment reminder emails will be sent.

*Tiered pricing is available so that those of us with more can share, and those of us who could use some support can receive it. When you register at the Supporter rate, a portion of your registration fee is applied toward another dancer's reduced-rate spot. If a lower price will make the classes accessible for you, please register at the 'Supported' rate. If you know you want to dance regularly, and these prices are a barrier for you, please email me at layahjane@hotmail.com for a possible partial scholarship.

Reparations Scholarships: A 50% discount (single class or full series tuition) is available to anyone who identifies as a person of colour. Please use promocode “reparations” on Eventbrite to receive this partial scholarship.

REFUND POLICY: There are no refunds. If you must cancel your attendance due to testing positive for Covid, you will be offered a class credit which can be applied towards a future class with Layah. If you are unable to attend for other reasons, first please let us know so we may release your spot to another dancer. In the event that we are at capacity and we are able to fill your spot, you will be offered two options: you may donate your tuition to the scholarship fund, or you may receive a class credit which can be applied towards a future class with Layah. No credits will be issued for no-shows, or if we have not reached capacity. To request a class credit, please email layahjane@hotmail.com.
