PLAYFUL PRESENCE

A 5Rhythms Waves Movement Meditation Workshop
with Erik Iversen (CA)

 “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 developing  their body intelligence 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. 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.

" Å danse med Erik gir meg både tid og ro til å gjenoppdage den opprinnelige og basiske forbindelsen mellom kropp, fysisk intelligens og bevegelse. Hans kunnskap om energi og anatomi åpner opp for en dypere forståelse og fascinasjon av dansen som katalysator for indre og ytre forandringer." Loan TP Hoang

"Det er så fascinerende hvordan alle 5 Rytme-lærere på en måte underviser akkurat det samme, men allikevel formidler sin unike erfaring og innsikt, slik at det oppleves på en helt annen måte. Erik Iversens måte oppleves for meg som veldig konkret og tilstede her-og-nå. Resultatet er å å være i kroppen og i relasjon til rommet på en veldig behagelig og uanstrengt måte." Ingrid Brudevoll

Om Erik Iversen som kroppsterapeut (Body Work)
"Bodywork hos Erik opplever jeg som svært ulik annen massasje/behandling. Jeg vil beskrive det som lærende berøring. Erik jobber med muskler og bindevev på en måte som har gitt meg en dypere fysisk forståelse av hvordan kroppen henger sammen. Etter den første sesjonen opplevde jeg i dansen en transformerende følelsesmessig tilgang til nye steder i meg. Jeg kom i kontakt med en konkret kroppsdel jeg ikke før hadde hilst på. Det var en sterk opplevelse." Mari Rosman
