🌕 Experience the Core Strokes® Spiral
Four Gateways to Embodied Transformation
A Path of Touch, Breath, and Soulful Embodiment
Core Strokes® is a multidimensional path of healing, embodiment, and inner transformation — developed by Dirk Marivoet, integrative body psychotherapist and founder of the Neurofascial Transformation Process™.
At the heart of this approach lies a living spiral of four gateways:
Rooting Core, Flowing Core, Radiant Core, and Luminous Core — each immersing you in the body’s wisdom through breath cycles, fascia textures, developmental energies, and soulful touch.
Rather than fixed stages, these gateways form a pulsating path. You may begin wherever you feel called. Each module stands on its own, yet together they form a richly layered journey into presence, relational healing, and structural coherence.
Whether you are a somatic therapist, movement guide, healer, or sincere explorer of embodiment, Core Strokes® ® offers a grounded yet luminous invitation:
To listen with your breath, to touch with presence, and to meet the soul that lives in the tissues of your body.

Module 3: 🔥 Radiant Core — in Corsica
Awakening the Pelvic-Heart Axis, Embodying Charge, and Reclaiming Relational Vitality
Radiant Core is the fire-lit center of the Core Strokes® ® spiral — a dynamic gateway where the full spectrum of embodied expression meets the raw power of charge, contact, and creative flow. In this module, we work deeply with the pelvic-heart axis, restoring the interrupted currents of eros and love.
Our attention turns to the deep fascia of the pelvis, belly, back, and inner thighs, exploring how the body stores, releases, and repatterns both suppressed vitality and premature performance. Through breath, movement, and myofascial release, we support the unwinding of overextension, anxious excitation, and illusory uplift — patterns that distort the natural flow of pleasure, passion, and presence.
Using the Energetic Breath Cycle™, we explore the Excited, Orgastic, and Ecstatic Breath phases, while recognizing how early developmental distortions can mask joy with performance, numbness, or dissociation. Touch, voice, and relational dynamics are engaged in ways that allow the body to trust intensity again — to pulse, express, and rest in its own authentic rhythm.
You’ll learn to:
- Access and release deep myofascial patterns in the pelvic bowl, belly, back line, and adductors
- Restore continuity between the pelvis and heart, reconnecting eros and emotional authenticity
- Identify and unwind patterns of overextension, anxious activation, and false light in the breath-fascia field
- Use movement, sound, and touch to discharge and repattern held charge into grounded vitality
- Support clients through the full energetic wave — tension, charge, expression, and relaxation — with safety and presence
- Map how shadow expressions of radiance (e.g. seduction, spiritual bypass, frantic longing) show up somatically, and how to meet them with clarity and care
Radiant Core is where vitality meets tenderness, and the deep currents of the body find space to move, express, and connect. This module supports those longing to reclaim the inner rivers of charge, reawaken embodied eros, and restore vitality through grounded expressive presence.
🛠️ What You’ll Practice:
Advanced hands-on techniques for releasing deep fascia
Co-regulatory approaches for charge containment and expression
Segmental and energetic reading of the expression axis
Voice, breath, and movement sequences for erotic and emotional authenticity
Supervised pair work, small-group practice, and live demonstrations of Core Strokes® ® process sessions
💠 Relational Field, Transference, and Erotic Charge
In Radiant Core, we are in terrain where vitality and longing often intertwine. As deep layers of charge and vulnerability awaken in the pelvic-heart field, so too do relational dynamics. We address how transference and countertransference — especially in their erotic, idealizing, or rejecting forms — arise in the therapeutic setting. Through embodied supervision, self-inquiry, and group process, you will learn to track these projections not as problems, but as gateways into healing. This module offers tools to differentiate authentic energetic contact from reenactments, to remain clear in the face of erotic charge, and to use the therapeutic relationship as a container for alchemical transformation.
The place in Corsica
This training module is hosted in the magnificent island of Corsica. Springtime is a wonderful time to spend on the Island.
