5Rhythms retreat with Péter Fejér, certified teacher
July 16-20 2025 — Kismaros

The dance is an encounter. A human community.
“Our common thing.”
Honest because it requires real presence, uplifting because we listen to each other, comforting because we support each other. 5Rhythms is a spontaneous dance that invites you to fill it with your life. We play, we experiment, we set our desires in motion, we give space to our hopes. Dancing is about becoming alive. And in dancing together we become a community coming alive.
Each year, One Tribe retreats provide an opportunity to dance together, to be together in an uplifting way. There are always new people to the dance and many have been coming back for years. In addition to the intensity of the dance floor, there is always time to be together outside the sessions, whether in the forest, on the banks of the Danube or in a pastry shop.
Here you can learn about 5Rhythms, about yourself through it, open your heart and mind to change and leave a new person, empowered. And you can get to know others, meet others like you, enrich your connections during these few days.
Gabrielle Roth’s movement map will be our guide on the retreat. This decades-old method provides a solid foundation and much inspiration in dance for all of us. The rhythm of chaos invites us to surrender to the unpredictable swirl of life, to throw ourselves into all that is simply good. As Gabrielle Roth, creator of 5Rhythm, puts it:
“Chaos can be wild and expressive or it can be a physically less demanding dance, a more internal process with shaking, vibration and releasing. Either way, the mind empties out of the head and into the body, awakening our intuition.”
No prior knowledge or dance experience is required, all are welcome.

Péter Fejér, certified 5Rhythms teacher
“I believe that we all have the capacity to become fully embodied souls, and fully inspirited bodies. Body and soul are in union within us and dance is a powerful tool to bring these aspects of our existence closer together. The only thing we need to do is to move and be open to whatever is unfolding through the movement.”

Éva Lőrincz, pszichodrama instructor and life coach, co-leader of the workshop
“I have been working as a psychodrama facilitator and coach for more than a decade. I graduated from ELTE Faculty of Humanities in Hungarian, Aesthetics and Communication, and worked for several years in different positions: as a journalist, communication manager, content developer and software development project manager. After a while, I felt that although I was doing exciting and creative things, somehow I was always missing the point. I longed to be more in touch with human things, with everything that goes on in human life.”
“For Lakotas, one of our common mantras is Mitakuye Oyasin — we are all related. All of us, no matter who you are (person), or what you are (grass, trees, rocks), are the same. Some say related — I like to say enmeshed because it really is. That is why when you speak with a Lakota person, you will get the story you are asking about, but then about fifty other stories, because the one story you are asking about is enmeshed with all the others.“
