Presence of Heart
About
Within each of us dwells a beating heart playing out the rhythm of our lifetime. Traumas and dramas, joys and supposes- all the stories we have accumulated and those yet to be experienced. In setting aside our stories, we can begin to find the medicine that comes with being in the beat of the present moment.In this 3 day workshop, we will traverse the emotional map of our being heart through a journey of rhythms. We will invite the teachers of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion to bring us into the beat. We will purposely be PRESENT in the beat of our own hearts. Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms Heartbeat map will be the safe contained that holds our emotional stew as we move towards PRESENCE with our tender hearts. I hope you will join us in this exploration to deeply listen to our HEART. BEAT.NOW.

Laura's Bio:
Laura Martin-Eagle has been studying, performing and teaching various dance forms for over 50 years. She trained with Gabrielle Roth and is a certified teacher of 5Rhythms® Waves level (2001) and Heartbeat (2010) and Cycles (2025).
I have danced as long as I can remember. I had to learn to read before my mother would let me take ballet class, so I learned to read when I was 4. Only when I danced did I feel at home in this body, in this life.
Several years without dancing, I came back to it when entering University. The love of dance was quickly rekindled as I spent many years dancing at school and studying Dance Therapy with legends such as Marian Chace and Trudy Shoop. After the birth of my first child, I continued dancing and performing locally and nationally with Roger Shimomura and Marsha Paludan. I studied Contact Improvisation with visiting teachers Julyen Hamilton and Kirsti Simpson in the early ‘80s. While in California I studied Kathak Classical Indian dance with the master Chitresh Das who brought this form to the US.
I love all these forms of classical and modern dance and was very excited when I discovered 5Rhythms in the late 90’s that encouraged me to find my own dance. I have taught for the last 20+ years locally, nationally and internationally.
