"The 5 Rhythms map describes a shamanic journey. It starts with freeing the body (Waves) and moves through the landscapes of releasing the heart (Heartbeat), ceremony (Patterns in the Sand/Snow), freeing the mind and soul retrieval (Cycles and Mirrors), and arrives in what Gabrielle describes as The Silver Desert, or the home of the spirit. It is a radical journey which demands a total marriage of spirit and flesh, of the energy and the physical bodies, of poetic freedom and pragmatic action."
