Christian de Sousa is an artist, DJ and facilitator, teaching 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine and a weave of Taoist and animist/shamanic approaches to movement and practice. He’s fascinated by the magic of music as an inspirational guiding force for our dances. 
For many years he held large dance spaces and a thriving community in London; his focus since the pandemic has simplified and is currently with solo practice and how we can integrate movement into day-to-day living.

Episode 07: Deborah Bacon Dilts & Peter Wilberforce

Deborah Bacon Dilts (California) & Peter Wilberforce (UK) both live in France, and are good friends since they've met at their 5Rhythms training 25 years ago.
 
Deborah Bacon Dilts began teaching the 5Rhythms® in 1998. A native Californian but resident of France for the last 40 years, she has participated in the growth of the personal development field there in her various capacities as an interpreter of teachers and trainers in personal growth and consciousness work, as a trainer herself of relaxation and body therapists, and more recently as a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Also trained in Open Floor, she feels deeply that dance alone is not enough for deep transformation to occur. She is currently exploring the synergistic combination of sitting meditation and dance. Her involvement in the ICMTA during the past eight years has been a rich source of learning, growth and connection. The golden thread that runs through all of these activities is connection with self, other and the greater field, her passion in this precious life.

Peter Wilberforce is a certified 5Rhythms teacher. He leads classes and workshops all over France and in Europe.  He incorporates into his work various body and voice practices – the Feldenkrais Method, The Naked Voice work of Chloë Goodchild, Amerta Movement of Suprapto Suryodama and the Alexander Technique.  He offers work exploring the freeing of the voice through the mobilisation of the body.  He is guided by a conviction that optimal embodied learning happens in calm and secure spaces.  His approach asks for a spirit of exploration and encourages welcoming all states of being, as well as inviting a sense of fun and play.
