Harmonizing the Dance of Life: A 5Rhythms Journey 🌶️
Friday January 10, 2025 3:30pm - 5:00pm EST
Step into the sacred space of movement and connection with master teacher Ann Kite, as she guides you through an immersive 5Rhythms workshop. This transformative experience invites you to explore the dynamic interplay of the 5Rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—each serving as a gateway to discovering your unique path to harmony within.
Ann Kite will create a supportive and inspiring environment where participants can delve deep into the essence of each rhythm, uncovering their own authentic movement and expression.

  • Staccato: Tap into the power of clear, decisive movement. Discover how to articulate your desires and boundaries with precision, fostering harmonious interactions in your personal and professional life.
  • Chaos: Release the need for control and surrender to the wild, unpredictable nature of existence. Experience the cathartic freedom of letting go, allowing chaos to guide you to deeper levels of authenticity and transformation.
  • Lyrical: Celebrate the lightness and joy of being. Explore playful, spontaneous movement that connects you with your inner child, enhancing your ability to find harmony in moments of pure presence and creativity.
  • Stillness: Enter the realm of quiet introspection and deep listening. Cultivate a sense of inner peace and alignment, discovering the profound harmony that arises from stillness and mindfulness.
Ann Kite's expertise and compassionate guidance will support you in navigating the 5Rhythms practice, helping you to integrate these powerful teachings into your daily life. Whether you are new to 5Rhythms or an experienced practitioner, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to deepen your practice and find harmony in the dance of life.
Let the rhythms guide you to a place of profound harmony and connection, where the dance becomes a living meditation and a celebration of the soul.

Friday January 10, 2025 9:00pm - 11:59pm EST
Starting with an opening circle and group activation each night will take its unique course as a group improvisational space to the closing circle. The group activation may touch on technique, partner work, consent or creative improvisation practice. There is opportunity to build on the energy of the previous nights and days.

Kindly you may bring your instruments.

While the primary focus of the space is contact improvisation, solo and partnered improvisational movement of other forms is welcome when it fits in the ground rules.

Ground Rules:
  • Practice Nonverbal & Verbal Consent
  • Activate Deep Listening: Practice attunement to self, partner(s), and others in the space
  • Observation is Welcome
  • Solo Movement is Welcome
  • Keep conversations and other interpersonal interactions to the peripheries
  • Please be mindful of sound especially after 11:30pm as the sound here travels through the entire hotel.

Contemplation: A Writing & Inquiry Journey 🌶️
Saturday January 11, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EST
When is the last time you gave yourself space to dive deep within you & ask...  who am I? What is needed of me? How can I serve? How can I show up for the highest good?
This practice is here for you to change your answer to, "Today, actually," — and perhaps invite more of this into your life as integration from this potent weekend of transformation.
With nothing but a journal & pen in hand, we will traverse time and space to create a container of curiosity, contemplation, and creation. What comes of this time together is to be determined, but prepare to be surprised (and perhaps delighted) by what becomes possible when you give yourself the spaciousness to question... everything...

Naad Yoga 🌶️
Saturday January 11, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST
Naad Yoga is an ancient practice that combines sound and meditation to bring about a profound sense of integration, harmony, and self-love. Rooted in the principles of Vedanta and the universal vibration of "Om," Naad Yoga uses Indian classical music to help participants quiet their minds and connect deeply with their emotions. The workshop explores the 22 primary emotions (shrutis) expressed through the 60 healing ragas of Indian classical music. Participants will experience these emotions and moods through two specific ragas: Bhairo, which aids in cleansing and releasing unhelpful emotions, and Desh, which fosters joy and happiness. This immersive sound journey aims to align the listener’s chakras, promoting emotional and spiritual well-being.
The workshop begins with an introduction to the science of Naad Yoga, followed by a sequence designed to resonate with and activate the lower chakras through deep bass notes (Kharaj). Participants will then engage with Raag Bhairo, encouraging the release of emotional blockages, particularly at the heart and throat centers, complemented by gentle touch healing. This is followed by the uplifting Raag Desh, which promotes joy and celebration. The session concludes with a debrief, sharing experiences, and a Q&A. Throughout, the practice emphasizes the power of enhanced listening and communal chanting (kirtan) to deepen interconnectedness and spiritual awareness, ultimately guiding participants towards discovering the inner teacher within themselves.


🌶️ Mild: The workshop does not invite sensuality or sexuality. There will be no facilitator invitations to cuddle or share moving touch, plus no welcoming or invoking of sexual energy. Any partner dancing that occurs will default to or center open position.

Putting the Sensual in Consensual: Nonverbal Consent Communication 🌶️
Saturday January 11, 2025 1:30pm - 3:00pm EST
Despite what you may have heard out there, consent doesn’t always have to be verbal—in fact, so much of human communication happens nonverbally that insisting on using words all the time can feel clunky, inadequate, and decidedly unsexy. In this workshop, we will practice moving from embodied desire and letting our bodies do the talking (knowing we always have words if we want them). Learn to identify and express your own body’s yes, no, and the spectrum between, and practice the art of sensing the subtle signs of desire and discomfort in others. Discover the playfulness, presence, and pleasure of finding the sweet spot of mutual desire without words. You will leave with skills to create sensual consensual connections throughout the rest of the festival and the rest of your life!

🌶️ Mild: The workshop does not invite sensuality or sexuality. There will be no facilitator invitations to cuddle or share moving touch, plus no welcoming or invoking of sexual energy. Any partner dancing that occurs will default to or center open position.

Ayurvedic Hacks For Longevity 🌶️
Sunday January 12, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EST
In today’s modern world, it’s odd that the average life expectancy has gone up, but the number of people suffering from chronic conditions are on the rise. While all of us have learned to look younger, but we’re feeling older. Our bodies are going through rapid combustion with modern lifestyle, productivity, foods that we eat, and more. 

The truth is that we’ve misunderstood ageing. Ageing at its normal pace is preservation with the appreciation for the depreciation that happens with time. This unique masterclass is all about some life-changing practices from Ayurvedic texts to support this preservation so we can all age, but gracefully and not prematurely.

Decolonizing Sex: Navigating Power Dynamics in the Bedroom and Beyond 🌶️ 🌶️
Sunday January 12, 2025 1:30pm - 3:00pm EST
Based on the core insights of liberation philosophy and sex-positivity, this workshop introduces a  basic framework for viewing sexual, intimate, and social interactions through a power-informed lens. It covers the ever-shifting and context-based nature of power, the way power can impact consent, and the responsibilities of being in both up-power and down-power roles.
Through scenario analysis, real-world examples, and dyad exercises, students learn the core skills for navigating power dynamics in sexual scenarios: noticing and naming where power lies, somatically sensing when power has been conferred on them or they’ve projected power onto others, and using pauses, invitations, and simple phrases to mitigate possible harm. Students walk away with a fresh new lens for understanding and engaging in intimacy!

Rubaba guides participants through the meaning and pronunciation of each chant, incorporating Raags such as Desh, Hansadhwani, Yaman, Bhairo, Kafi, and Bhoopali to enhance the immersive experience. Singing (of all abilities) is welcome, dancing is welcome, meditating is welcome, and silent observation is welcome. Jai Ho.
