In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: ‘When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?’
Gabrielle Roth (1941–2012) was an American dancer, author, and musician in the world music and trance dance genres. She is best known for creating the 5Rhythms movement system, a form of ecstatic dance that focuses on five body rhythms as a way to become conscious through movement.
