Basic skills around moving together with touch and shared weight will be re-visited regularly in partner exercises.
We’ll always have phases to dance together as a group where individual needs and impulses are guiding us in a consensual environment.

Payment in cash or direct deposit on the night
Drop in is always possible : )

Most session will be facilitated by Joerg Hassmann, an internationally well known teacher. There is a team of experienced dancers, who facilitate the sessions, when Joerg is travelling to teach Workshops elsewhere.

CONTACT IMPROVISATION
has been developing internationally since 1972 and it started from the exploration, research and inquiries of Steve Paxton. It involves the exploration of one's body in relation to others and the space of presence they visit, by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, listening touch, and movement awareness. It has evolved into a broad global community around "jams" characterised by their welcoming attitude towards newcomers to dance, as well as seasoned practitioners, and its fundaments relate with dancing without being guided by music, instead, the dancers learn to listen to the sounds that the dance itself brings.

JOERG HASSMANN
Joerg is a dancer and passionate movement teacher, deeply interested in learning and the question 'what is it that makes us feel connected?' - on many different levels. He is one of the leading figures in Europe in the field of Contact Improvisation, and has been teaching for more than 25 years, offering training programmes and organising festivals. Many kinds of sports, release techniques, somatic work, Zenthai Shiatsu, instant composition and performance work have informed his dance and his teaching. He's been living on the Sunshine Coast for the last four years, facilitating the growths of the local CI community.

Rhythm & Ritual: 02/11/25 starts soon at 1 Main St, Palmwoods QLD 4555, Australia.

"Sacred Playground Events" presents,

🔥Rhythm & Ritual:🔥
Connection, Movement, Music, Healing
November 2nd, 1:00pm - 6:00pm, Palmwoods Memorial Hall

Are you ready to unravel the blocks to meet yourself in the most authentic way?

Join us for an immersive gathering of true connection, embodied expression, and transformational healing, forged by ritual and infused with sacred intention. Through the alchemical weave of movement, authentic relating, empathetic sound and inner-child play, you’ll be guided to open the energetic channels within, uniting heart, mind and spirit, allowing your life force to flow effortlessly and your being to return to its natural rhythm.

✨Ritual of Relating✨

We'll start by exploring the field of relating, peeling back the layers, to know ourselves through another. Receiving potent reflections that encourage self-enquiry, dynamic exchanges of play, curiosity and feeling. The circulation of energy between the masculine (Giving), and the feminine (Receiving).

✨Ritual of the 2 Circles Dance✨

Having now been seen and met by self and other, we're ready to ground down and embody the remembrance of self with an expressional journey to music woven with ancestral beats, traditional drums and live instruments. This is where movement becomes prayer and presence becomes communion, in a grand celebration of self, other and creation at large, in the "2 circles dance".

✨Ritual of Sound, Breath, & Release✨

We take this energy cultivated, moving it even further up the spine, progressing into movement with kundalini breathwork, guided by the deeply embodied Johanna Joy, combined with Alexander Alm's deeply attuned empathetic live music, to support the liberation of any blocked energy from our being.

✨Ritual of Acknowledgment✨

Sharing deep presence with one and other, we intertwine our constellation of community with a deep acknowledgement, truly seeing the beauty that each one of us brings forth by being exactly who we are.

✨Ritual of Food - Organic Plant-Based Communal Meal✨

We’ll close this beautiful experience with a soul-nourishing, organic plant-based meal, gathering in gratitude to anchor the connections we’ve cultivated, as a community of embodied, attuned, and heart-led beings. We forge our sense of community and togetherness, by finding commonality over the ritual of food, as our ancestors have been doing since antiquity.

What to bring:

- Yoga mat
- Comfortable clothes to be active in
- Cushion and blanket if desired
- Drink bottle
- Having already eaten lunch

To honour the natural circadian rhythm, this gathering will intentionally finish earlier in the evening, so as to give us enough time to integrate the experience in alignment with our bodies and still receive a restorative early nights rest. The space will be setup up to simulate a night time experience however, but during the day! The power of the night time energy (feminine) is useful to go deep within.

A team of trained space-holders will be present to ensure that everyone feels held for the duration of this experience. An integration space will be curated if anyone feels as though they need to take a moment to process their experience with the option of a space-holder and then rejoin the group when ready.

This is a space where authenticity is welcome, where healing is held, where you don’t have to perform. Just arrive, just breathe, and just be. We invite you to bring all of you. Not just your joy, but your grief. Not just your light, but your truth. Because in this circle, every part of you has a place. Together, we will create something ancient and new. a ritual of becoming, a rhythm of remembering, a return to what is most real.

We love you, you belong, welcome home 🙏🧡

✨The Importance of Ritual - "We Are The Ritual" poem✨

We’ve been doing this for thousands of years.

Circles around fires,

songs under stars,

tears poured into earth

and laughter into sky.

Ritual is the thread that weaves us.

The whisper that says:

This life is sacred.

This moment matters.

You are not alone.

We dance not just to express,

but to return.

To self, to spirit,

to each other.

We drum not just to make noise,

but to open portals for truth to rise,

for wounds to speak,

for joy to break free

from the cages we keep it in.

We come to find our Rhythm &

reawaken what was never lost through ritual,

just waiting

to be witnessed.

So come as you are,

bare, brave,

and burning with life.

Because you, beloved,

are the ceremony.

And we, together,

are the ritual.

About Sacred Playground:

Sacred Playground is here to forge a culture in which we are deeply embodied as a given and intimately connected to who we are, what we need, and what those around us/the larger collective needs, by creating supportive spaces for us to practice emanating our true selves. Our playfulness, curiosity, innocence and wonder, and to truly let go of all things that have disconnected us from that. This initiative crosses over into helping conscious music artists capture, create and share their empowering and healing music with Sacred Playground Recordings. Sacred Playground Podcasts takes this one step further by offering a space for visionaries to share their stories, wisdoms, teachings and perspectives, so as to empower the masses as they expand during this collective awakening.

The Sacred Sessions - An Ecstatic Dance Journey of Awakening (Vol. XVII) starts soon at 11 Farrell St, Yandina QLD 4561, Australia.

The Sacred Sessions ✨
Not just ecstatic dance.
A journey.
A release.
A homecoming.

✨ Our final Sacred Sessions of 2025. Let’s gather one last time this year — to dance, release, and celebrate all that we’ve moved through together.✨

We begin in circle, setting the container for the highest possible journey (option to connect with ceremonial cacao, available as an add-on). From there, we drop into our bodies — grounding, breathing, arriving fully in the present moment. Through simple Pranayama, the mind softens, the body awakens, and the spirit begins to stir.

As the music builds, you’ll be invited to move through the four elements — Water, Earth, Fire, and Air — however your soul calls. No choreography. No performance. Just pure, honest expression. This is where the transformation unfolds — where release meets joy, and where you remember your wholeness.

When the rhythms dissolve into stillness, you’ll rest in a soundscape of live instruments and ethereal voice — wrapped in vibration, held in peace, integrated and renewed.

Bring yourself exactly as you are.
The rest will unfold. 💫

Maps to Ecstasy
Alchemy
Healing

Next dances:
FRI 31 OCT | 7-9 PM

Whilst we no longer have the monthly sessions on the Sunny Coast, I am committed to bringing 4 Seasonal Dances!

These solar pulse points of the calendar remind us that we are part of nature and nature knows how to dance with it all.

In the Southern Hemisphere, 31 October is not Halloween, but Beltane midway between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. In the Celtic tradition, Beltane was a time of great festivity and fertility with fire and flowers and feasting and of course dancing. So let’s dance!

The Summer Solstice honours the sun at is fullest peak of light.

For those wanting to dance up our reemergence and revival.
Your rendezvous with release and rapture, movement and music.

A portal of time and space to get out of our heads and into our bodies, to shake ourselves free with tribe and good vibes.

May we return together again in these times of transition, transformation and rebirth.

It's a powerful moment.

A time for deeper connection with community.
A time for vision.

Renaissance | rɪˈneɪs(ə)ns, ˌrɛneɪˈsɒ̃s |
From re- ‘back, again’ + naissance ‘birth’

Collective | kəˈlɛktɪv |=
Forming a whole, combined

"Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry, the cry of the human spirit to be free."

~ Anne Sullivan Macy

_____________

5Rhythms® is a creative and expressive movement practice that generates momentum for deep healing. It is at once meditation, medicine, and a series of maps to ecstasy.

There is no choreography...other than following the body, and listening in to it's wisdom. However there is a structure and guidance. Sometimes there will be exercises to support our embodied presence.

The dance offer's us the space to drop out of the mind and into the feet, to allow the beat of the music to hold us as we step out of our own way and be danced.

A shamanic practice that calls us into a deep embodied awakening.

By putting the body in motion we heal the psyche and create an opportunity to connect body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit with our full aliveness! As we dance through this Wave we gain a wider movement vocabulary to find out our ground, express our hearts, get creative, free ourselves, and come home.
