“I thoroughly enjoy Julie's classes. She is respectful of others and their space. I enjoy the safe environment, the fact that it's non-judgmental, and that I can be myself. I go because it's a fun environment, and it reduces my stress level after a working day.” – Darrin Goss, Realtor
"I am incredibly grateful that I pushed through and released more than expected and feel lighter than I have in months. You did this! You created the space where I could grow and release and be myself. Wow! You are an incredibly gifted teacher of the work. You inspire and hold space and don't interfere, when it's not necessary. You are a stellar human being." - Nancy
"Julie is an intuitive mover and teacher. She comes from a place of honest connection and ability to tap into what is being called for with the group at that time. She provides a safe and comfortable space for all to go as far in or out as they feel. On a personal level, I felt comfortable to be vulnerable and was able experience and witness shifts in myself and others due to Julie's ability to hold the space for that. This 5 Rhythms practice helps to feel more grounded to receive and listen from the inside-out. Thank you so much Julie for all you offer." - Brittany
"I love doing 5Rhythms dance with Julie Plotkin. She leads by encouragement and example and I feel I can do no wrong. My body and my soul both come intensely alive and there is no more "both" because I am totally at one with myself. Thanks Julie!" - David Roche, Motivational Speaker "Just want to say a heartfelt thank you for the gift you facilitated this weekend. It was powerful and a much-needed step in my journey. Years of therapy could not access the depth of a broken aspect of myself, which the dance did. And then, the dance gave me a way to begin healing the brokenness. . May you be blessed as you continue your good work." - Lisa
"This was my first weekend workshop of 5Rhythms. I found Julie’s guidance very clear and grounded. Her love for this work and long experience with it was very inspiring, and was tangibly transmitted throughout the weekend. Her calm presence and ability to hold the space created a safe container to push my comfort zones, let go, drop out of my head, and explore the inner and outer connections through 5Rhythms. Thank You!" -Ronela, Vernon, BC
"I have been to many workshops in my life including one previous 5Rhythms workshop. My experience with Julie Plotkin is one I rate extremely highly, and I am left with a profound cellular memory in my body, mind and heart. She led with clarity, engagement, strength and humility. Julie skillfully and heart-fully orchestrated the themes of connecting with ourselves, with others and with the whole group/tribe. I have deep gratitude for my experience with Julie Plotkin." -Cathryn Rankin
"Thank you for a wonderful workshop. Your leadership and invitation to inquiry guided by your gentle voice and your playlist was memorable. Your teaching skills honed on the dance floor and classrooms really shined as your explanations were clear, brief and to the point, your demonstrations mirroring & modeling your instructions and your invitation to self-inquiry were exemplary. You helped co-create a very safe space where I could dive into my own practice & process while interacting with others and the group as a whole. I look forward to your upcoming workshops." -Musa :)
"As well as attending many of Julie’s weekly 5 RHYTHMS classes, I have had the privilege of attending a number of Julie’s private 5 RHYTHMS workshops over the last few years.They have all been soul moving for me! I learn something new about myself each time I dance in these wonderful sessions. Julie, and the group that I have danced with, are the most nonjudgmental people that I have ever met. I feel nothing but love and support and absolutely no embarrassment or apprehension to just be ME! Julie’s 5 RHYTHMS workshops seems to pull everything together for me! In my opinion, 5 RHYTHMS with Julie is the purest dance of the soul! " - Brenda
