After 5+ years of dancing at the Veterans Memorial Building in Oakland, Deep Dive Oakland and founder Sayrah Garrison is taking flight into the unknown realm of Sabbatical for a time.
I have so enjoyed serving our community and feel so utterly honored to have witnessed and felt the heart of our community in so many different realms - - - birth, life, death, joy, pain, sorrow, delight and everything along the spectrum of life! ♥
-------
We have experienced so much together and TONIGHT (Dec. 19, 2019), I invite you to join us in a final dance, honoring the many special moments we have shared together in our sacred dance space.
If you feel called to bring an item for the altar/installation, we will meet at the altar on our break at 8:15pm to collectively imbue prayers and intentions into our altar pieces to bring home and place on our home altars as a way to commemorate our time together.

Are you spinning in a world full of information, distractions, constant stimuli and never ending to-do lists?
This weekend workshop is an invitation to meet in Stillness. Stillness is the final rhythm in the 5Rythms Wave. It is the rhythm that converges in a place of pure presence within us that enables us to feel more resourced and ready to thoughtfully respond to the ever changing, PRESENT MOMENT.
As we dance through each Wave (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness), we will attune ourselves to the breath, the gateway to Stillness, to encourage moment to moment awareness that will lead us home to our integrated selves.
"All these energies [the 5Rhythms] come together in you. In your deepest center, you are the stillpoint".

What is your relationship to money? How does your body respond when you speak or visualize the words Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity?
Exploring these oft taboo topics through movement and dance can reveal unconscious money patterns that may be inhibiting you from achieving your full financial capacity in life.
Within the framework of the 5Rhythms movement practice, we will go on a physical journey through 8 money archetypes, based on the revolutionary work of Evangelos’ money coaching teacher, author and Marin resident, Deborah Price: The Victim, The Innocent, The Warrior, They Martyr, The Fool, The Artist, The Tyrant and The Magician. By understanding, naming and moving through money blind spots that no longer serve us, we will rewire and practice new somatic habits that will enable us to move from scarcity and survival into abundance, prosperity and ultimately a place of RESOURCE!
Evangelos Diavolitsis (Dee-av-oh-leet-sis) is a certified 5Rhythms movement facilitator and meditation teacher. He has a passion for integrating the path of awakening through movement, art and business. He is currently finishing his first book entitled: 4 Ways to Freedom - Money, Movement, Mindfulness and Mystery. He has taught across the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. To learn more about Evangelos, visit www.meditationmoves.ca
Sayrah Garrison, Oakland based 5Rhythms teacher, has known Evangelos for over 10 years and is thrilled to be bringing him to the Bay Area to share this transformative experience with YOU!

Deep Dive Oakland invites you to join us for an evening of sacred song & dance with special guests, Lis Addison & DJ Iradi! This evening, we will celebrate the release of her new album, Zadaka and the launch of her Do What You Love Tour, which will start here in the Bay Area and take her to New Zealand, Australia and beyond!
This will be a super FUN & Fabulous evening, and will start off with a 45 minute warm up wave procured by Deep Dive Oakland founder & lover of live music, Sayrah Garrison.
Doors close at 8:15pm as we partake in a brief but sacred Cacao Ceremony honoring Lis and the launch of her tour & release of Zadaka (which means 'offering' in Swahili)!
Following our toast, DJ Iradi will lead us in our second set of music & magic as he weaves in tunes from Zadaka during which Lis will sing live!
Contribution for this special event is $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Entry includes a FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD!!!!! Thank you Lis for this generous offer to our community!
Lis Addison is a composer of world electronic vocal music ranging from meditative to ecstatic. Her music can be heard in dance, yoga and healing centers and on the radio throughout the world. Her album Zadaka blends African tribal rhythms, electronic soundscapes, Indian melodies and layered vocals with a trancy optimism. Zadaka includes the voices of friends and families Lis recorded on three trips to Africa where she was welcomed into villages and neighborhoods to sing and dance. To learn more about Lis or to purchase her music, visit http://www.lisaddison.com
DJ IRADI selects both bold and sublime musical choices intuitively sensing the audience, alert and connected to the emotions that are brought in by the dancers. Like a therapist, he tunes in, connects, follows and leads. Iradi is a resident DJ at the Dutch Nataraj parties, was the featured DJ at Iradium and Techno Op Blote Voeten clubs in Amsterdam and has been involved with Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam since its inception.
We are so pleased to be welcoming these two magical souls into our sacred space and hope that YOU will come out and help us celebrate!

What if you woke up tomorrow to find you were living your best life possible? What would your life look like and how would it be different from today?
In this 3 part series, we will use the map of the 5Rhythms to explore these important questions. We will use a potent combination of writing exercises, individual & group work, art and more...... designed to help us achieve our life goals!
There will be a 30-45 minute ZOOM call scheduled before & after each workshop to support each dancer in their inquiry.
Reading assignments from Connections by Gabrielle Roth & The Call by Oriah Mountain Dreamer will be offered as support on our journey and will be reviewed during the ZOOM call prior to each workshop.
Sayrah draws from over a decade of experience as a Clinical Social Worker with trainings in Yoga, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Mindfulness Based Stressed Reduction (MBSR) to name a few. She has worked extensively with at risk youth, adults with co-occurring disorders (substance use & mental health issues), individuals with severe mental illness (psychosis) and other marginalized populations.
Fridays, 6pm-8:30pm
Saturdays, 11am-6pm
Sundays, 11am-5pm
Location for all workshops: Western Sky Studio, 2525 8th St., Berkeley

These workshops are designed to build upon each other; therefore attendance to all 3 workshops is highly recommended in order to gain the highest possible benefit. I have done my best to offer the lowest possible rate to make this work accessible to all; however, please do not hesitate to contact Sayrah if money is a hinderance to your ability to attend.

Deep Dive Oakland is super excited to invite you to our final class of 2018: A special evening of Dance, LIVE MUSIC and Soup Making, to usher in the Winter Solstice.
Our evening will begin with a 45 minute Sweat Your Prayers dance, followed by a sacred soup making ceremony (YES! We will be making a pot of soup together!). While our soup is simmering, we will dance another wave to live music offered by Rasa and Alyssa. In prayer and contemplation, we will end our evening together as we nourish ourselves in circle with our sacred soup.
Rasa is a multi-instrumentalist, poet and soup maker. His intention is to bring love and transformation to the planet through music, spoken word and intuitive cooking. He regularly performs at yoga studios, music venues and festivals throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
Alyssa Decaro will join the soundscape offering her expertise as a drummer and body percussionist. Alyssa is also a dancer & yoga teacher.
Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms is a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Through the map of the 5Rhythms (www.5rhythms.com), we will take a deep dive into our own inner landscape to discover our authentic selves. The only requirement is that you have a curious mind and a desire to explore creativity, connection and community.
