- "Heartbeat" is a dancing shamanic journey into the underworld of forgotten feelings. In this work we invite the energy of feeling that is held within the cells of our bodies to come out and dance.
Amara is currently teaching a four-week workshop-style class on Tuesdays exploring the "Heartbeat" map. For those of you that couldn't make it, and for those of you ready to dive further into this potent work, we are offering this specially priced weekend workshop!.

"Because of an innocent misunderstanding you think that you are a human being in the relative world seeking the experience of oneness, but actually you are the One expressing itself as the experience of being a human being." - Adyashanti
“Living Fully Loving Deeply” is an invitation on your journey as a spiritual being having a human experience. An invitation to experience all of what it is to be human, in all its joy and pain. That is the grand experiment of life.
In this experiment there is a pull, a call, that guides us into a deeper richer experience of what it is to be living. This pull comes from the heart, through the heart, and pulls us into our own capacity to experience love. Of all the experiences we are here to have, love is the grandest.
Love can be experienced when we let all the joy and pain of our humanity move fluidly through us. This emotional fluidity is possible when the heart is free to open and close, to move and be moved, to feel and be felt.
“Living Fully Loving Deeply” is the journey of freeing the heart. Freeing the heart through the dance, through the maps of the 5Rhythms®, together, in tribe, through the container of an on-going group. “Living Fully Loving Deeply” is an invitation to you, a call to the grand experiment of life.

Rooted in mystery
Grounded in the moment
Centered in ourselves
This is the exploration of Body Prayer. Too often we live disconnected from the the sense of well being that inhabiting our bodies gives us.
We move through life thinking first feeling second occupying our bodies a distant third. There is a sense of connection that comes when we move from our bodies into our hearts and out into our minds.
Our bodies offer us a direct connection to the moment, a direct connection to the source of life and a clear path of knowing who and what we are.
It is this pathway that we explore in Body Prayer. Through the work of rooting ourselves in mystery, grounding in the moment and centering in ourselves we find that sense of well being from which life opens up.
The dance is the vehicle, the 5Rhythms the map and our willingness the fuel.
Our motions through life is guided by our emotions, and our emotions shape the world around us. We do have the power to change our world and the key is coming into deep, intimate and open relationship with our own emotions. "Heartbeat" is a gateway to this relationship.
"Heartbeat is the 5Rhythms map of freeing the heart and achieving emotional fluidity. In "Heartbeat" we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of what it is to be human. By working with the five essential emotions of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion we come into deeper contact with our own heart, strengthen our emotional vocabulary and free our whole being to dis-lodge, express and release the emotions that have shaped us.
As we embrace the full range of our emotions we free ourselves to move and be moved, to feel and be felt, to love and be loved.

We shy away from occupying the edge because we think we will lose ourselves there, when in fact the edge is where we find our most vibrant self.
"Dancing on the Edge" is about inhabiting our bodies fully, and taking our motion all the way to its edge, past what we know into the territory of what is possible.
Out on the edge we both discover and define our most creative and fluid self. 'Dancing on the Edge' is about moving towards an awakened state of being totally present in this moment.
