Resilience grows from exploring rather than pushing difficult emotions away. Layering experience, support and mindfulness into recognizing that Joy can sit beside them.

During challenging times, we can overlook the ordinary life moments that come in smaller packages.

The things that make our whole bodies smile and our hearts lift a bit.

A colorful bird visiting your garden. The peace inside a deep breath. Pausing to listen. A child laughing. Witnessing your animals in play. Art, music, poetry that captures your soul. A yummy meal that makes you stop and go mmmm...

Joy can be a powerful form of resilience, even though it's often the first thing to go when we're stressed, overwhelmed, grieving, or facing a challenge.What if we slowed down and really let these moments in? Felt them in our bodies. Breathed them in through all of our senses.

Let them move us, expand us, and fill our soul bucket. Trusting that these moments are our Soul right, instead of something we have to earn. This is part of being human. Even in difficult times, moments of joy are still there, waiting for us to notice them.

In this weekend workshop we'll dance through the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map, exploring how Joy can support us even through Fear, Anger, and Sadness, and open the door to Compassion.

Without bypassing what's hard. It's about strengthening our ability to turn toward what nourishes us when life gets challenging.

We welcome you to dance, move, connect, sweat, feel, and explore the resilience of Joy.

Deepening a practice of Self Nourishment, and inner depth.

About Us: We have worked together offering workshops, support for one another for over a decade. We show up authentically in our relationship both on and off the dance floor, with some dancers asking “When are we getting another Jo and Christina Show”. Coming together to offer workshops for our communities is a gift we both look forward to each year. This year we will be offering together in Los Angeles with Jo Cobbett’s community and we are hoping to bring together Southern California movers in a theme that is dear to both of our hearts.

Jo Cobbett’s background in visual arts, bodywork and 30yrs of supporting & guiding embodiment sessions continues to inspire her. Jo has been producing, teaching, exploring and connecting beings into their hearts, using music, words, creative play and the Dance of 5Rhythms, focusing on freeing layers of creative possibility.

Christina Graham-Smith: Alongside her role as a 5Rhythms teacher and support staff for the teacher training, Christina Graham-Smith, LMFT (#97298), offers neuro-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD individuals, couples, and families. Integrating ACT, EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy through a trauma-informed perspective, she supports clients in building resilience, strengthening relationships, and navigating life's transitions with greater self-awareness, choice, and connection.
