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.

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.
