"I noticed when I was dancing today how much my soul needed what you were creating in the space. And I'm feeling very grateful. As I so need spaces for connection with my body and with others in the raw humanity of the joy of movement. And so I'm moved to offer my heartfelt appreciation for your service. It will live on in my memory as one of the first times I engaged in such body connecting joyful movement outside of an alcohol environment." dancer anon
"I have been coming to Sarena's Sunday morning 5Rhythms class for many years and I absolutely love it. It is liberating, restorative, grounding, a safe space where I come home to myself and connect deeply with others. And it is all these things because Sarena holds the space so beautifully, with humility, honesty, authenticity, wisdom, warmth and compassion. And of course some great music!"
Beth Clarke, CST MCSS, Craniosacral therapist, Edinburgh

Linlithgow - Inner witness, inner wisdom 5Rhythms for women
A space to explore the art and practice of cultivating an inner witness that can hold us when we need support. Such a witness is essential to live a life of vitality, joy and creativity. It becomes a journey for women to read their own bones and trust their blood flow. To acknowledge when drier seasons arrive and to revel in the juice of who we are.
We will dance, talk, perhaps write, dance more, witness what is present, and give permission to what needs expression.
Dates: 27 June - 25 July - 29 Aug - 26 Sept - 31 Oct - 28 Nov
Cost: £12 drop in or pay for four in advance £40, or £60 for all six sessions
Venue: Queen Margaret Hall, 53 Blackness Road, Linlithgow, EH49 7JA
Times: 4pm - 5:30pm

Move & Write - a morning practise -
4 July - 11July - 18 July - 25 July
This is a block of Saturday mornings on zoom - we will move and write. No need to have experience in writing or movement, it is a practise where we get to know our inner world in a different way. Allowing the body to find early morning movement to music, and writing to a few prompts to support the process. No sharing of your writing.
Cost: £8 per session or £28 for all 4 sessions. These are drop in sessions.
Times: 8am - 9am

Broken Things ... or ... Living Closer to the Dreaming
'I’m already missing the amazing small group of women xx I can hear all the wonderful accents still… and I really hope to see them some time along the 5 Rhythms road or other waves also…
like water in a desert, it is so reassuring to meet other such intelligent, creative, alive broken women, in a calm small group.
Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful movement process workshop group online, with great thought, curiosity and care.' A recent participant
I like the broken things in my garden and lodge. The drum on the wall of the lodge that is split right through the middle. The broken clay pot amongst the ferns. The wooden guinea fowl without a head on the step - from the time my sister died. These are reminders of my path and of how my life has meandered. Full of hurt, flaws, joys and cracks. As if time and nature knew how to be with each, inside and outside. Both garden benches have flaky paint, maybe an indication of my lazy streak. The wheelbarrow has a wheel that refuses to turn, but overflows with greenery. The crazy willow frame around the flowerbed cracked from dryness at the corners. The pottery circle of friends with missing arms. Blue pots without lids on a forgotten side table that made its way out of the house.
Autumn calls my attention with yellowing leaves and ripening pumpkins. I feel my unwillingness and slackness, how I drag my feet to embrace the new season, a new way of being.
I have a question, a slither of a dream that is around. Because I love what I do and offer. To create a different world, to support transition, to bring together and allow falling in love with ourselves.
Would you be interested in working in a small group, in person or online. Unfolding themes from your life, dreams that often are forgotten when a busy morning arrive, or a difficult issue that churns in your belly. How would it be to explore in movement and words, on your own and one to one with me. Being witnessed and witnessing, because we all learn from each other. Working with music and drawing, perhaps writing – underpinned by our movement practise and inspired by the present moment. Living closer to the Dreaming…
