Repost @opo.app - long but worth a read :) Our work at OPO is dedicated to helping people find stillness in the noise, be it the inner noise or of the world around us. Stillness is the foundation of the pioneering work of Gabrielle Roth; Writer, Philosopher, Theatre director and Founder of the 5 Rhythms movement meditation practice, who passed on 9 years ago today. Based in the beating heart of New York, she dedicated her life to bridge the worlds of creativity and consciousness, to reach out to those who were simply stuck in the mind and body. She shook and rattled the rigidity of our programmed ego to move through resistance to joy to stillness. From theatre work to breathwork she has influenced so many beyond even those who ever knew her or will know her. OPO founder Chris Connors spent many years training with her to explore the dynamic state of stillness. A state that harnesses profound transformation but also dynamic creativity and way that we can just be ok with life in all of its rhythms. ‘Today we have embraced meditation and conscious movement yet this has not always been the case. Pioneers like Gabrielle have opened the doors for the western world to awaken and for the more recent wellness industry to thrive and flourish - so for that we thank you, You legacy lives on’ Chris 📸 @lsingh #gabrielleroth #movement #meditation #stillness #OPOPioneer
