Starfish-Radiating from the Center
Would you like to discover how to connect with your center (hara) and experience the sensory paths from there to the rest of your whole body? Right to the edges?
In this 5Rhythms workshop you will bring your attention to those sensations through Erik’s gentle guidance of your awareness, playful movement and 5Rhythms waves. Radiating from the center generates safety and balance.
Starfish is an image and a workshop created to awaken, deepen and transform your relationship to your body.
About Erik:
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 1980s. Over the next 40 years, he practiced and taught the 5Rhythms as well as maintaining a one-one-one bodywork practice. He is on the teaching staff of 5Rhythms Global.
Over time, Erik integrated the wisdom he gathered from hands-on work with the insight gained 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 which offers powerful tools for creating deep presence and flow through movement and conscious embodiment.
