The Well ~ 5Rhythms Waves Class Series with Layah (FALL TERM 1)
Wed Sept 11 - Oct 16, 2024 (6 weeks)
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.

Full 6 class series packages and single class advance tickets are available. Dancers are welcome to drop-in and pay $25-$35 cash at the door provided we haven’t yet reached capacity with advance ticket sales.

FALL 2024 UPDATE
1. I have recently switched to Humanitix for online ticketing.
Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits to charity. “With tickets for good, not greed, Humanitix takes the booking fees we all hate paying and dedicates the profits to charity. Your booking fees help provide access to education, healthcare and life’s basic necessities to millions of humans across the world.”
2. I have updated the tuition tiers available for classes to include a wider range of access.
More info is available here: http://www.layahjane.com/sliding-scale-tuition-and-scholarships
3. I will now be charging 13% HST on tickets for all classes and workshops.
4. I have updated our
Community Agreements.
