ELW® Introduction January 9, 2023

On Thursday, 9 January 2023, you are warmly invited to a special introduction to Emotioneel Lichaamswerk®. As a certified trainer and teacher, affiliated with the Nel professional training network, I am happy to share what this method can offer you. During this session, you will experience hands-on techniques, powerful tools, and movement exercises that are characteristic of this inspiring approach. No prior experience is needed; the doorway is open, accessible, and welcoming for both young and old.

What is Emotioneel Lichaamswerk?

Emotioneel Lichaamswerk® is a profound, experiential method in which the body serves as the central point of reference. It is used as a compass to support emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual development, or to process deeper-rooted issues. Through breathwork, movement, bioenergetics, and both dynamic and gentle exercises, you create direct contact with your body and what is present within it. This is a powerful tool for personal growth, focused on your own potential. The starting point is that you can take charge of the quality of your life, for example by choosing a life filled with vitality, creativity, and self-confidence.

Why choose Emotioneel Lichaamswerk?

In a relaxed and safe atmosphere, you discover how to work with your feelings. Ignoring emotions or being overwhelmed by them takes a great deal of energy. Through movement, what you have held on to begins to move again. Deep breathing brings you closer to your inner world, while making sounds gives expression to what lives inside you.

Participant experiences

This approach has already changed many lives at Assayya. Here are two inspiring testimonials:

Tessa De Boer shares her journey: "When I first came to Erik three years ago for a beginner course, I felt awkward as someone who is very cognitive. Still, it opened a new world for me: a world in which I learned not to understand everything rationally, but to feel with my body. In a later series linked to character structures, I encountered myself again. How enriching! Our body and our feelings tell us so much about who we are. Embracing this and acknowledging yourself is the most powerful aspect. ELW helped me learn what truly matters to me. I experienced the strength of vulnerability and stood in my own power again. It was a process of confrontation, self-reflection, and growth, ending in love for myself. I am proud of what I have achieved and enjoy the small moments. I am allowed to make my own choices in connection with others."

Ans O.B shares her experience: "ELW was the beginning of a fascinating inner journey, especially when I was at home with burnout. It helped me climb out of a deep valley of chronic fatigue and physical pain. I discovered that for years I had been living according to other people's expectations. Questions like 'Who am I?' and 'What do I want?' came back to the surface. Through dance, expression, meditative breathing, and connection exercises, I learned to feel more deeply. I now experience that, as a self-aware woman, I am allowed to make my own choices. If you feel lost for a while, I recommend using ELW as a compass to find your own map."

Sven R. adds: "Since I became acquainted with Emotioneel Lichaamswerk, I stand much stronger in myself. I feel life energy flowing through my whole being. Inhibitions have fallen away, and I connect with others much more easily. I feel there is still room to grow, so I happily continue my process. Thank you, Erik."

Come and experience for yourself the power of movement, breathing, and feeling. Let your own body guide you and discover a new dimension of wellness.
