Erik is a super Libra (Sun, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto) with a Leo Ascendant, a Human Design Projector/Orchestrator, and Myers-Briggs ENFP
As a neurodivergent child, he was often made fun of, called names like retard, freak, just to say some of the nicer ones. He felt a profound sense of loneliness, and separation much of his young life. He felt unworthy of care and attention, and when he finally started dating in his 20s he was willing to do “whatever” it took to feel as if he was being loved and cared for...but those relationships were hardly ever loving or caring.
After a number of relationships that ended up with broken hearts, often his own, Erik realized he needed to take some time and start to find out what he was missing, but they also knew what he was missing wasn’t outside of himself. He started to work on clarity of the kind of relationships (polyamorous) and other BIG YESES, and BIG NOS he wanted in his life. With that clarity, he started to move into creating the life he’s always wanted.
He believes that all parts of our lives are aspects of our spiritual journey, and two aspects that often don’t get seen as part of that journey are our sexual and romantic relationships. Those who practice kink, BDSM, polyamory, and CNM should have access to spiritual practitioners who are willing and able to accept us where we are and encourage us to grow.
Erik knows that most people have unmet needs that are based on their fears (his sure were and sometimes still are) and he believes that we all deserve to have the chance to live a life that’s not rooted in fear.
