ON THE VERGE

A LIVE WIRE LAB

LORCA SIMONS

NOV 7-9, 2025
ATLANTA, GA

  • ON THE VERGE

    A Live Wire 5Rhythms Ritual Theatre Adventure 

    What Are You On The Verge Of? 

    Glimpses Into The Face Of Transformation... The Body's Sweet Salvations. The Heart's Passionate Stories. The Mind's Mysterious Poetics. The Soul's Vast Sky. 

    The Spirit's Ignited Dream...

    Live Wire ritual theatre expands the imagination through curiosity, breath, physical gesture and space.  It is performance art in the raw rooted in the real. 

    It's time to take a breath, stepping soulfully into that spacious landscape of heART to see the sky again, to rest in the vastness of beat, to sweat and pray. Renewing the creative that you are and seeking what is most original and true. A wild creative surrender.

    Lorca is dedicated to the creation of physical theatre that is both interactive and transformative offering Live Wire Labs to 5R communities around the globe. These labs are rooted in a visionary and rigorous techniques for people to become true “athletes of the heart.” 

    Live Wire is an embodied ritual theatre investigation, grounded in the movement maps of 5Rhythms®, devoted to the shapeshifting nature of physical art, and guided by the vision of Lorca Simons and Gabrielle Roth and artist Martha Peabody. Designed to inspire, refresh, re-set and connect. Our time will include movement, creative excavations, collective truth-telling and beauty-making.

  • Cost: $295, $350 after October 5, 2025

  • I just came back from a 4-day 5Rhythms retreat and man do I feel lighter and brighter! I highly recommend Julie full stop. She is a master teacher - she not only exudes the teachings and energy of 5Rhythms, but also interweaves many other transformational modalities - I learned so much as a facilitator being around her.

    Nathan Shultz

  • Julie is an exceptional facilitator, making it a safe space to feel and be in the moment as needed as well as talking everyone through taking care of Self. She guided us through several partnering practices, both in pairs and groups of four. These were most impactful and we all found healing through each others' experiences as well as for our personal intentions. I am excited to continue on a 5R journey and learn more about the practice.

    Hilary Grace Smith

  • My experience in Julie’s Horizon workshop was so deeply healing and helped me to feel so connected! Julie so exquisitely guided us weaving in different modalities with the 5Rhythms, which helped me to deepen my experience and held the container with such authenticity. I emerged lighter and felt more aligned with my authentic self.

    Serena Hausen

  • Yesterday I felt like soft gooey smooth putty, very sensual and pleasant–very little tension in my body. Today I am needing quiet and stillness. Sensing kinship to a butterfly, emerging from its cocoon. Needing stillness in the warmth and light of the sunlight before gently taking flight.

    Nance Burrell

  • This was my first 5Rhythms experience and I had no idea how amazingly transformative it could be! On a physical level, the little tensions/aches that I felt daily in my movement practice for years have disappeared. I keep trying to "find them" out of curiosity and my physical body has definitely released some things. Karmic, ancestral, present in this lifetime... feels like it could be any of that and the beauty is that I don't need to know. During the four days, there were moments of clarity of what I was letting go and then moments of not having any idea and also not needing to know... magical!
