SOMATOMY™ Module 2
Made up of 5 two-hour sessions happening scheduled for Australia and all other time Zones.
Starting : Monday April 7th,2025, 7:00PM-9:00Pm EST( New York time) and then April 9th, April 14th, April 16th, April 22nd
Starting for Australia :Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, 10:00am-12:00pm Melbourne time and then April 10th, April 15thth, April 17, April 23rd
Module 2 illuminates five more sessions integrated with the 5Rhythms exploring intimacy, ease, and flow. The obstacles to these being discomforts, stress, and distraction. Fear rests at the root of these obstacles. This next layer of discovering/uncovering the art of presence empowers each of us to go deeper towards an “archeological dig into frozen history” as Reich said.
On my personal continuing journey of awakening, by melting the armor of my generational character shapes I started to feel the distance I placed between myself and the people I love. With new awareness and acceptance of my sensitivity and vulnerability, I began to notice a layer of protection. This manifested as an increase in rigidity {or tissue density the opposite of fluidity} and as a limited range of motion that rippled out especially in my hips and my shoulder girdle. Also, injuries and scar tissue created compensations and blocked feelings.
These insulated parts of my body protected me from giving and receiving love fully. On another level, this deep core fear of love and intimacy had been cultivated from family conditioning from who knows how far back.
The integration of Somatomy evolves through bringing your attention to sensing your physiology, connecting your mind and body, and opening the space between stimulus and response. Body intelligence emerges when your mind’s awareness is connected with your body’s movements and your sensory experience unite with your full presence as you interact with your world.
Week 1 Monday April 7th/Tuesday April 8th : Developmental Movement: Patterns and Progressions from birth to 2 years old - Fish, snake, reptile, monkey, bear. Re-wiring our nervous system and being curious about our personal blind spots or our resistance to this playful form.

Unified Field
Unified Field
In the world, we often go through our days and our lives with our awareness focussed primarily
on our own separateness. Our minds are occupied by our individual responsibilities and ambitions; and our connection to our bodies is tenuous or inconsistent.
We rarely enjoy the feeling of being together with others; in a unified field within the flow of life.
In this workshop, our focus will be on exploring and learning how to feel and recognize the unified field of our own bodies, as we move and play within the unified filed of a group.
Through conscious movement, we’ll discover new connections between the different parts of our bodies; and learn how to move as one dancing body.
Next, we’ll learn how to expand our awareness out to the group as a whole, without losing touch with ourselves. We’ll bridge the two using our breath and expanded proprioception, allowing our attention to flow seamlessly from ourselves, to the group, and back, in a loop.
When we loop in this way, while dancing together, we create a shared field of individual expression that naturally and easily becomes a playground for connection and creative collaboration. The feeling of the unified field is palpable, inspiring and deeply nourishing.
Erik Iversen is a founding member of the 5Rhythms worldwide community. He was in the his first training with Gabrielle Roth in 1981 and became one of her first workshop producers out of Montreal in the 1980’s. Over the next 40 years, he practised and taught the 5Rhythms as well as maintaining a one-one-one bodywork practice; over time he integrated the wisdom he gained from hands-on work with the insight from guiding thousands of dancers on the dancefloor. In 2016, he graduated from the 2-year Leadership and Transformation training at the Hendricks institute, and is now a certified coach. In 2017, Erik co-founded Kite Parade Co (www.kiteparade.co) and in 2020, he designed the Somatomy™ series, a 3-part training that guides participants through an in-depth, experiential understanding of their anatomy and offers powerful tools for creating deep presence and flow through movement and conscious embodiment.

SOMATOMY™ Module 1 Online
Made up of 5 two-hour sessions starting at 10:00am-12:00AM Melbourne time and simultaneously 6:00PM-8:00 pm EST Montreal time the previous calendar day!!

For all other participants : Begins 6:00PM-8:00PM EST Tuesday March 25th,Thursday 27th, Saturday 29th, Monday 31st, Wednesday April 2nd
A Foundational Experience in the field of 5Rhythms.
Recordings for sessions are available within hours of each session’s completion.
To remain present and connected to your feeling self, to bridge awareness of others and to embody the space you occupy is a path of presence. By losing connection to self, your body lacks youthful energy and your mind is racing, full of distracting fear-based thoughts. This state of dis-connect of body awareness can result in the contracting of or shifting into unconscious body shapes, in diminished breath capacity, in discomfort and in blocked life force flow which magnifies panic-based, fearful decision making and inertia.
In this workshop, I promise to share effective ways of sourcing the authority living in your body. I’ll empower you to enliven and to unlock your body-mind connection; I’ll invite you to free yourself of your mind’s games to distract your attention and dance you into a state of presence. Transforming these habitual patterns enlivens your spark of creativity and refreshes the passion of enriching your zone of genius. Awakening and sensualizing yourself in your full body awareness is a practice of self-love and playful presence that liberates you from generational and cultural patterns.

Awakening and sensualizing yourself in your full body awareness is a practice of self-love and playful presence that liberates you from generational and cultural patterns.

To remain present and connected to your feeling self, to bridge awareness of others and to embody the space you occupy is a path of presence. By losing connection to self, your body lacks youthful energy and your mind is racing, full of distracting fear-based thoughts. This state of dis-connect of body awareness can result in the contracting of or shifting into unconscious body shapes, in diminished breath capacity, in discomfort and in blocked life force flow which magnifies panic-based, fearful decision making and inertia.
In this workshop, I promise to share effective ways of sourcing the authority living in your body. I’ll empower you to enliven and to unlock your body-mind connection; I’ll invite you to free yourself of your mind’s games to distract your attention and dance you into a state of presence. Transforming these habitual patterns enlivens your spark of creativity and refreshes the passion of enriching your zone of genius.

The Medecine of Attention
An investigation into re-wiring our body intelligence.
The 5Rhythms movement meditation practice gives us permission to travel safely outside our daily experience of living and moving. In this experimental and innovative environment {laboratory} using our bodies to express creates the opportunity to slow down and rhythmically notice where we unconsciously or consciously put our attention. This workshop/playshop illuminates and shines light on presence, our sense of occupying a space in the moment.
What parts of our bodies do we ignore? What is efficient alignment? We can focus on ground, balance, imbalance, fear, breath, other people, love, space, energy. Through movement we can choose to cultivate excitement and play and to discover new choices to focus our awareness/attention.
By developing attention to appreciation of ourself and of others we feed connection instead of isolation , creativity instead of inertia. Come and play and awaken new pathways of relationship to self and others.

Playful Presence
Playful Presence
A 5Rhythms Waves Movement Meditation
“The heart of healing lies in the ability to listen, to perceive and to turn up the volume to our full body intelligence”
Every interaction in our lives – be it within us, between ourselves and others, or ourselves and our environment – generates the opportunity to presence ourselves in the moment.
Nurturing a pathway to sensualizing our feet and their relationships to our other bodyparts creates the context for presence. Befriending our breathing and gravity enlivens our experience of moving. Noticing this sixth sense facilitates balance and focuses our ability to be present.
“My commitment to the participants of the workshops I lead promises to catalyze and inspire them to integrate the playful and pleasurable sense of their body intelligence on the dance floor and in daily life.”
In life, and in dance, there is the opportunity to loosen effort and magnify ease. We can identify movement patterns then ignite new ones. This creative expansion of new ways of moving defines play. Play is fertilizer for brain plasticity, Are you willing to express with full body intelligence within the group resonance of a 5Rhythms authentic and open movement space? Join us in illuminating and welcoming a fresh and deep relationship to yourself, to your bones, to your flesh and to your fascia.

A Foundational Experience in the field of 5Rhythms.
In this third module of Somatomy we shall weave the functional and the anatomical to the spirit of the playful, creative and emotional shaping of the individual. We shall explore with curiosity the new choices and many shapes we create in response to our experiences. We will dance to the playful sounds of breath and jibberish. We shall investigate and share our inherited stories and our created narratives about living in our bodies. And finally we shall re-wire our entire being through play. The first two modules are present to be the foundation for this third module of Somatomy. I would like to build on the foundation that I am/you are practising Then we go deeper. Ida Rolf says the “the issues are in the tissues.’ Are you willing to bring vulnerability to these gatherings?
“I have generational links to my unconscious postural shapes”…Erik Iversen
Session 1. Thursday February 13th : My Breath, My Voice, My Expression: Integration of breath and movement, voice and releasing. What is jibberish? Receiving sound and music into the body. Breathing Spirit. Playful sounds, permission and range, level, pitch, vibration.
Session 2. Monday February 17th: Play and Creativity: The exploration of the many personal creative choices in movement including rhythms, function, structure levels, energy, attitude, environment, magnitude and partners. The spirit of the Play personalities. Play history and play debt. Power of play
Session 3. Wednesday February 19th: The Narrative of my Body: Our generational download and what I believe is my genetic heritage. How I can change the biology of my beliefs by awakened choices. Expanding vision with my eyes and with my creative stories. How did I make up the story ? What do I hold in my tissues about my body beliefs?
Session 4. Saturday February 22nd: Foundational Persona Shapes: The shape of my emotions and my personas. Persona interviews Persona movement Patterns. Shifting quickly , changing shapes. Internal, external stresses. What creates pulsation of fluid that designs stress. Changing shapes

Shadow Play
Shadow Play
…Gabrielle Roth
Shadow Play,
The 5Rhythms (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness) offer us a pathway to creativity as each rhythm has a distinct physicality, energy and expressive potential. And each rhythm has a shadow side. We shall explore the 5Rhythms and their shadows. This experience will magnify our resistance to moving, to changing and to creating . With this awareness of how we shape resistance in movement we can then practice shifting to the lightness of playful letting go and of dynamic shape shifting. Our minds or our ego have a contract to distract us from being present and to enjoying the simplicity of being in the moment, in the dance. Generational patterns often become stuck in the body. We shall practice drifting out of the lightness of being and shifting back to flow. Join us and dance and shake!!
Erik Iversen is a founding member of the 5Rhythms worldwide community. He was in his first training with Gabrielle Roth in 1981 and became one of her first workshop producers out of Montreal in the 1980’s. Over the next 40 years, he practised and taught the 5Rhythms as well as maintaining a one-one-one bodywork practice; over time he integrated the wisdom he gained from hands-on work with the insight from guiding thousands of dancers on the dancefloor.

SOMATOMY™ Module 2

Wednesday February 5th 2025, 1:00pm-3:00pm EST
Saturday February 8th, 1:00pm-3:00pm EST
Monday February 10th, 1:00pm-3:00pm EST
Wednesday February 12th, 1:00pm-3:00pm EST
Module 2 illuminates five more sessions integrated with the 5Rhythms exploring intimacy, ease, and flow. The obstacles to these being discomforts, stress, and distraction. Fear rests at the root of these obstacles. This next layer of discovering/uncovering the art of presence empowers each of us to go deeper towards an “archeological dig into frozen history” as Reich said.
On my personal continuing journey of awakening, by melting the armor of my generational character shapes I started to feel the distance I placed between myself and the people I love. With new awareness and acceptance of my sensitivity and vulnerability, I began to notice a layer of protection. This manifested as an increase in rigidity {or tissue density the opposite of fluidity} and as a limited range of motion that rippled out especially in my hips and my shoulder girdle. Also, injuries and scar tissue created compensations and blocked feelings.
These insulated parts of my body protected me from giving and receiving love fully. On another level, this deep core fear of love and intimacy had been cultivated from family conditioning from who knows how far back.
The integration of Somatomy evolves through bringing your attention to sensing your physiology, connecting your mind and body, and opening the space between stimulus and response. Body intelligence emerges when your mind’s awareness is connected with your body’s movements and your sensory experience unite with your full presence as you interact with your world.
Week 1 Monday February 3rd : Developmental Movement: Patterns and Progressions from birth to 2 years old - Fish, snake, reptile, monkey, bear. Re-wiring our nervous system and being curious about our personal blind spots or our resistance to this playful form.
Week 2 Wednesday February 5th : Developmental Movement: contacting the ground and feeling gravity from different levels and positions. The second of two sessions focuses on experiencing the primary human movement patterns that relate directly to the development of the brain. Experiencing breathing patterns from many different body positions.
Week 3. Saturday February 8th :Lining Up: Dancing with function and structure. What part of the different joints of each persons body moves easily or not at all. Which part of structure is leading my dance, my walk.Relationship of core to sleeve and the planes of movement. Brain Gym, New Choice.
Week 4. Monday February 10th : WalktoDance: walking from the mid-line, the center. Many shapes of the walk from the center and the psoas, ankles, and hips shaping our walk. Agility, responsiveness, and decisive moves.
Week 5. Wednesday February 12th: Meeting Places: energetic and fascial meeting places and power centers. Sacral fulcrum, occiput, solar plexus, dorsal hinge, plantar fascia, hip trochanter. Panoramic and open vision.
In all Modules the common thread is PLAY: Including Expression, Dance, 5Rhythms, Touch, Self Healing .
This is an ongoing closed group.
All classes are recorded and the recordings are available within 3 hours of completion of each session.

SOMATOMY™ Module 2
Made up of 5 two-hour sessions
Monday February 3rd 2025, 1:00pm-3:00pm EST.

Module 2 illuminates five more sessions integrated with the 5Rhythms exploring intimacy, ease, and flow. The obstacles to these being discomforts, stress, and distraction. Fear rests at the root of these obstacles. This next layer of discovering/uncovering the art of presence empowers each of us to go deeper towards an “archeological dig into frozen history” as Reich said.
On my personal continuing journey of awakening, by melting the armor of my generational character shapes I started to feel the distance I placed between myself and the people I love. With new awareness and acceptance of my sensitivity and vulnerability, I began to notice a layer of protection. This manifested as an increase in rigidity {or tissue density the opposite of fluidity} and as a limited range of motion that rippled out especially in my hips and my shoulder girdle. Also, injuries and scar tissue created compensations and blocked feelings.
These insulated parts of my body protected me from giving and receiving love fully. On another level, this deep core fear of love and intimacy had been cultivated from family conditioning from who knows how far back.
The integration of Somatomy evolves through bringing your attention to sensing your physiology, connecting your mind and body, and opening the space between stimulus and response. Body intelligence emerges when your mind’s awareness is connected with your body’s movements and your sensory experience unite with your full presence as you interact with your world.
Week 1 Monday February 3rd : Developmental Movement: Patterns and Progressions from birth to 2 years old - Fish, snake, reptile, monkey, bear. Re-wiring our nervous system and being curious about our personal blind spots or our resistance to this playful form.
Week 2 Wednesday February 5th : Developmental Movement: contacting the ground and feeling gravity from different levels and positions. The second of two sessions focuses on experiencing the primary human movement patterns that relate directly to the development of the brain. Experiencing breathing patterns from many different body positions.

A Foundational Experience in the field of 5Rhythms.
Recording for sessions are available within hours of each session’s completion.
To remain present and connected to your feeling self, to bridge awareness of others and to embody the space you occupy is a path of presence. By losing connection to self, your body lacks youthful energy and your mind is racing, full of distracting fear-based thoughts. This state of dis-connect of body awareness can result in the contracting of or shifting into unconscious body shapes, in diminished breath capacity, in discomfort and in blocked life force flow which magnifies panic-based, fearful decision making and inertia.
In this workshop, I promise to share effective ways of sourcing the authority living within your body. I’ll empower you to enliven and to unlock your body-mind connection; I’ll invite you to free yourself of your mind’s games to distract your attention and dance you into a state of presence. Transforming these habitual patterns enlivens your spark of creativity and refreshes the passion of enriching your zone of genius. Awakening and sensualizing yourself in your full body awareness is a practice of self-love and playful presence that liberates you from generational and cultural patterns. {the tyranny of the past]
