Into the dark

Cathy trained and apprenticed with Gabrielle Roth, the visionary founder of the 5Rhythms® movement meditation practice, and has been immersed in this transformative work since 2004. As a founding member of Open Floor International, she has been instrumental in bringing this practice to a global audience. With a rich background in theatre, writing, and shamanic traditions, Cathy blends artistic expression with deep personal exploration. She leads workshops across Europe and the UK, creating spaces for profound self-discovery and connection. To learn more about Cathy’s unique approach and extensive experience, visit www.humans-being.co.uk.

Cathy's strength as a teacher is her ability to be completely present wherever she is and respond authentically to whatever and whoever is in the room with her. She creates a refreshingly non-judgmental, unsentimental, open space where people can discover themselves, others and the juiciness of the world around them.

Cathy has so many years of experience and wisdom both on and off the dance floor. Her passion for life is inspiring, dance with her, bring your willingness to wake up, be switched on and enjoy the ride. You are in extremely capable hands and held in a compassionate heart.

Cathy offers workshops at Oost West Centrum where the magic and complexity of our relationships are explored through dance, music, movement, ritual, and self-inquiry. The Libido workshops focus on exploring the embodiment of our life force, gender, and sexual energy – and our capacity to be truly and authentically present. 

I have danced and participated in and benefited from Cathy's classes and workshops in Oxford, London and Ireland. She works with clarity, openness, insight and precision. She tempers honesty with humour, challenge with grace and holds a space and a group with deep integrity which allows the human body to move and the soul to flourish in trust, safety and honesty. In deep appreciation.

This workshop was in so many aspect soooo good! It was very clear and easy to follow because there was a line that had been thought out with experience, psychological sensitiveness and love for life and people. Cathy is such an authentic, funny, intelligent, powerful and warm-hearted teacher that you feel safe and guide while dancing with her. The organisation was also very clear and good, including the location (East West Centre in Antwerp).
