While biking along through the canals of Amsterdam with my sax on my back, the concept of meeting other musicians on wheels, with their instruments in hand who would meet while biking and stop, and play together. Tonight, i met a cellist on wheels with the openness to stop by a canal bench and play together. So now, MOW, Musicians On Wheels is in motion. Thanks Miriam. If you click on her name, it is linked to her website which is in dutch. She is a certified teacher of a technique called 5Rhythms®? It is a simple, powerful moving meditation that anyone – of any age, size, or physical ability - can practice. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, no way to do it wrong. The only requirement is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating, and mind that is still curious!

- STACCATO – the percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways
- CHAOS – the rhythm of letting go, releasing into the catalytic wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated
- LYRICAL – the rhythm of trance, where the weight of self-consciousness dissolves, where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness
- STILLNESS – the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence
