Lewes and 5 Rhythms

Today we went into Lewes for a walk around during the day, and then had the 5 Rhythms event this evening to look forward to. It was a bit more variable of a day weather-wise, but mostly fine.  Actually it did drizzle a bit when we were up on the cliff overlooking the town.  But then we came down, walked up to the castle, and did some charity-shopping and then had some food at the White Hart Inn which has a lovely terrace out back. 

 

 

The 5 rhythms thing was something new to me and all of us! Hellie my trusted friend and yoga teacher mentioned that she was planning to go, so I figured it might be fun for us to try something different.  Rhodri dropped us off and we were crapping ourselves before going inside!  

 

As it turns out, the 2 hours of dancing was .... its hard to condense into a single word or phrase... it was a lot of things. We couldn't make eye contact with each other during the event, that's for sure! The two rules were: no talking, no mocking.  It was a very liberating and physical evening of free form movement, and I think we all came away having loved it!  There were so many stories to tell from the evening though.  I took this sneaky photo through the window which doesn't do it justice at all, but is also somehow representative.
