SOMATOMY™ Module 2

Made up of 5 two-hour sessions

Tuesday October 15th, 2024

Thursday October 17th

Tuesday, October 22nd,

Thursday October 24th

Tuesday October 29th

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 Tuesday October 15th : 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. Thursday October 17th: Developmental Movement: contacting the ground and feeling gravity from different levels and positions. The second of two sessions focusing 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. Tuesday October 22nd :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. Thursday October 24th : 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. Tuesday October 29th: 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.

A Foundational Experience in the field of 5Rhythms.
 
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]

ENGLISH:

BALANCE AND GRAVITY

5RHYTHMS WORKSHOP WITH ERIK IVERSEN (CANADA)

We are grounded by our connection to the earth. Our feet magnify this relationship and nourish sensation. Opening our feet to receive the weight of the body creates balance, understanding, and a feeling of self support. Movement flows from the feet up. Root to rise.

This is a foundational 5Rhythms movement adventure rooted in gravity and in our relationship to our functional, energetic and creative balance. Standing in relationship to the earth our feet provide us with the only source of contact with the ground. Sensing this ground force reaction leads us to the discovery of our movement patterns from the ground up. At this gathering we'll look into the relationship between proprioception and balance while investigating our full body's relationship to the intelligence of our feet. We'll cultivate and revive this life force flow by also balancing conscious breathing and movement. With these two elemental forces, feet and breath in balance, we'll establish a playful presence for a dynamic dancing event.

For whom is this workshop?

This workshop is addressed to all individuals interested in healthy movement, practitioners of 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Open Floor, Movement Animal Flow, Yoga, and others.

But at the same time no previous experience is required in order to participate in this workshop!

This workshop counts towards 5R Teacher Training prerequisites, Waves level.

Unified Field

•VENUE: The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge HX7 8DB
•TIMES: Friday May 17th: 7pm-10pm;
Saturday May 18th: 11am-6pm; Sunday May 19th: 11am-5pm
•PRICE: £175 (£160 before April 10th)
•BOOKING: email fmeliot55@gmail.com

•THE WORKSHOP:
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 the unified field within the flow of life.
In this workshop our focus will be on exploring and learning how to feel and recognise the unified field of our own bodies, as we move and play within the unified field 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.

•THE TEACHER:
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 taught the 5Rhythms as well as maintaining a one-on-one bodywork practice; over time he integrated the wisdom he gained from hands on bodywork with the insight from guiding thousands of dancers on the dance floor.

PORTAILS 5Rhythms©

“Chaque partie de vous est sacrée et toute partie peut être un portail vers votre vérité la plus dynamisée, une danse que vous seul pouvez faire ici et maintenant, si vous êtes à l’écoute.”
Gabrielle Roth

Nous sommes des mammifères bipèdes qui prisent notre intellect en oubliant souvent notre immense intelligence corporelle: c’est une conséquence d’avoir compartimenté nos corps, coeurs et têtes depuis plusieurs millénaires.

Pourtant, face aux situations de plus en plus polarisées en ce moment, le désir de revenir à notre intégrité essentielle se fait sentir - avec raison.
De reconnaître notre centre nous aide à naviguer l’épopée tumultueuse où l’on vit.
De comprendre comment l’énergie circule en nous aide à mobiliser nos pouvoirs créatifs.
D’avoir le courage d’entreprendre ces explorations nous mène à des connections profondes.

Nos corps sont des contenants sacrés d’Esprit, avec plusieurs PORTAILS qui nous permettent l’apprentissage de notre présence, puissance et appartenance.

La pratique 5Rythmes© est un cheminement qui permet au corps et au coeur de nous accueillir à part entière. C’est un outil tout indiqué pour découvrir les maintes façons que l’énergie bouge, devient coincée, explose et nous anime à longueur de journée.

Dans cet atelier nous allons explorer comment chacun des 5Rythmes© ouvre des PORTAILS en nous; comment accéder l’énergie et la créativité intrinsèque à notre corps; et comment chaque segment de notre structure et chaque partie de notre corps peut allumer notre danse.

Découvrons ensemble focus et connection sur le plancher de danse ainsi que dans la vie de tous les jours.
À danser au travers ces portails on arrive au moment présent.

Au plaisir de se voir sur le plancher de danse!

5Rhythms© GATEWAYS

“Every part of you is sacred and any part may be a gateway to your most empowered truth, the dance only you can do here and now, if you are willing to listen.”
- Gabrielle Roth

We are biped mammals who favour our intellect and often forget how to access our body’s immense intelligence. This is a by-product of having our bodies, minds and hearts compartmentalized over the last few thousand years.

Yet as we face more and more polarized realities, the call to remember our essential integrity is being felt - with good reason.
Having a sense of our center helps us navigate the tumultuous times we’re in.
Having an understanding of how energy moves within us helps us engage our creative powers.
And having the courage to step up to these explorations brings us the deep connections we crave.

Our bodies are sacred vessels of spirit, with many GATEWAYS as potent teachers of our presence, power and belonging.

The 5Rhythms© practice shapes a path that lets your body and heart welcome you home.
It’s a potent tool for accessing and experiencing the many ways energy moves, gets stuck, explodes, implodes, animates us every day.

In this workshop we’ll explore how each one of the 5Rhythms© opens GATEWAYS in us, how to access the energy and creativity inherent in our body, and how each segment of our structure and each body part can ignite our dance.

Join us to discover focus and connection on the dance floor and in your daily life. Dancing through the gateways, arriving in the present moment.

See you on the dance floor!

Friday May 3rd from 7pm to 9pm

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.

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?

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.

Breaking the Armor

How can we learn to uncover the deep truth of who we are and feel our essence? This process takes practice and awareness. Learning to let go of tension and unconscious holding patterns allows us to feel more deeply into our core. Our essence lies in this deep still place inside us, a place untouched by trauma. Our essence and our vulnerability is often buried under a protective shell and beneath our character armour.

We can learn how we shape ourselves and then practice letting go. We can allow sensations to move and flow and uncover our essence. Using the 5Rhythms in a safe playful environment to experience and shake off armor and old stories ,let’s dance and playfully transform contraction to expansion. Experience the deep sense of at-home-ness that comes when you are aligning your attention with your body through movement.

SOMATOMY™ Module 2

Made up of 5 two-hour sessions starting Thursday, Jan 4th 2024 and continuing Tuesday , Jan. 9th at 1:00-3:00 EST and Thursday, jan. 11th, Tuesday, Jan 16th until the last session on Thursday, Jan 18th at the same time,

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. Thursday Jan 4th: 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. Tuesday Jan 9th: Developmental Movement: contacting the ground and feeling gravity from different levels and positions. The second of two sessions focusing 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. Thursday Jan 11th :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. Tuesday Jan 16th : 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. Thursday Jan 18th: 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.
