2008 Weekly Continuum Classes with Robert Litman

THE ART OF SELFÐRENEWAL
Continuum MovementÕs explorations invite us into an inquiry to differentiate and sense the many complex layers of our biology, focusing on the myriad fluid relationships inside the container of skin, muscles, bones, joints and breath. We seek to engage in a daily practice of pleasurable movement which we have found to raise our expression of health and vitality to a higher octave.

Heart of Grief in to Breath
with Susan Harper & Robert Litman
May 8 Ð 11, 2008 Ð Tucson, Arizona

Unexpressed grief weights the heart and constrains the breath.  Inside grief lays loss - of a beloved, longing, shattered dreams; AND paradoxically passionate praise for what we have dearly loved, are missing and remembering with joy. Grief fully felt and expressed frees energy and life-sustaining breath, and opens a compassionate vision for living with heart and soul in a global community.

LIBERATING THE ARTS (click for details)
July 14-28 in Santa Monica, CA (see flyer)
Emilie Conrad, Creative Director
4 Consecutive Workshops, evening performances as well

For the past forty-one years, Continuum has provided an extraordinary movement journey that has taken thousands of people into undiscovered territory. The result is, ÒLiberating The ArtsÓ a program that is devoted to establishing an art form that expresses these unique adventures.

The sound and moving arts, as well as the written and visual arts are soul signals that take us beyond conventional thought into subterranean landscapes that surface in mysterious and unpredictable ways informing and re-forming our habitual world.

As social systems stumble for new sources of restorative modalities we find that within our own free-flowing spirit the light of renewal shines its presence.

Below are listed a series of workshops led by an experienced Continuum faculty that will take creative expression from interesting entertainment to cultural necessity.

Included in the two week program will be several evening performances that have been
inspired by Continuum.

Performance schedule will be announced.

Friday 6:30 Ð 9PM, Saturday 10:00AM Ð 4:30PM, Sun 9:30AM Ð 3PM

Description: In this workshop for experienced Continuum participants only, we will explore the creative potential that is available when combining the principles of Osteopathic Treatment and the practice of Continuum Movement. Taking time over a 3-day period to slow down the tempo of how we listen and relate to our bodies allows a deepening of the expression of Health and well-being. Osteopathy and Continuum are both based on a philosophy that trusts in the deep wisdom of the body to be self-healing when allowed to fully express and freely organize movement. This workshop is an invitation to engage in an experience, a felt-sense of many concepts that are usually only experienced while being treated by an Osteopath. This experience is valuable both as a way to learn self-treatment, and for health care practitioners, as a way to develop and deepen oneÕs diagnostic and treatment skills.

Cost: $225 if paid in full on or before July 1st . (After July 1 $250.)

Contact: Bonnie GintisÕs office (831) 688-4201 or

Become an adventurer in the unmapped territory of our bio-cosmic anatomy.

Learn how to keep life-supporting fluid moving within your connective tissue, organs, and skeletal structure. Even your brain will behave like a fountain of renewal.

This is a revolutionary approach, a quantum re-mapping of the human body, a discovery of self as renewable resource.

Tissue structure becomes multi-dimensional. Streams of nourishment are readily absorbed, as if you were bathing in the elixir of life itself

A Moving Medicine Workshop with Emilie Conrad

April 25-27 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, $475
Contact: Amber Gray, amber@ecentral.com,
restorativeresources@gmail.com
, 505-983-8036

We are offering an experience of the human body as an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals that orchestrates a vast and potent resonant network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix. This knowledge allows us sources of nourishment that have a profound effect on our bodies systems....As our internal sea becomes more viable our mass shifts accordingly. We become buoyant, gravity now an ally rather than a deterrent, our vital energy a surplus rather than a deficit. An abundance of vital energy is now available for the benefit of the organism, for healing, for revitalizing, and a fountain of ongoing health where our tissue remains luxuriant and full. In this there is no stress, no trauma, no fear, only the full bloom of magnificent life.

Continuum, Theory and Practice: A Reawakening of Resonance for Self Renewal
with Rebecca Lawson

May 30th and 31st 2008, Chapel Hill, NC

In this workshop we will consider an alternative view of the body, one in which the body becomes the fuel for its own transcendence. Using sounds, dexterity of breath, and micro-movements, we shall enter a deep silent listening that takes us outside/inside ourselves to an awareness that could be called freedom. Rather than following a fixed system of postures or formalized exercises that maintain patterned structure without release, our explorations delve into the play of emerging and dissolving form. Via the body and its fluid intelligence, we shall be introduced to our essence which is non-personal and unitary. Free from assumptions and historical impositions, we become creativity in progress: always new, original, boundless, and unconditionedÉtruly present and alive. No experience necessary. Just come with a curiosity about a practice that increases vitality and creates ease of movement through a resonance with our bio-intelligence.

Cost: $150. Friday, 5:30 PM Ð 9 PM Saturday, 10:30 AM Ð 5:00. 10 CEU's .

Workshops & Retreats

The Body as Sacred Ground (see flyer)
Continuum uses breath, sound, and movement to awaken in us a direct sensate experience of the life force that animates from within.
In this workshop we will explore the body/ground metaphor as we express appreciation for, and encourage life force by:
¥ Coming to our senses - surveying the land
¥ Creating space in the body through non-patterned organic movement - tilling
¥ Experimenting with breath and sound - aeration
¥ Intention to merge with, rather than manipulate, life process - seeding
¥ Working with wave motion - watering
¥ Coming to stillness Ð space for germination
¥ Coming to open movement - growth and flowering
¥ All within the field of awareness - sunlight
Yoga Source Studio, Carytown. April 19th (1:00 Ð 4:00) & April 20th (11:00 -1:00).

The Fluid Body Dreaming Retreat (see flyer)

The retreat begins with presentations of open-form movement explorations that range from the subtle to the dynamic and that establish deep pleasurable connection to nature inside and out. Multicultural textiles, art, and artifacts transform the environment into a dreamscape that stimulates the imaginal dreaming psyche processes. As the week progresses, we move, sound, rest, imagine, and play in the spring of communal silence, until finally, saturated in sensation and biological intelligence, we leave knowing, and grateful for, the gift of life that courses through our veins.
Cost = $730. See attached flyer for more information. 32 CEUÕs for body-workers available.

We are offering an experience of the human body as an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals that orchestrates a vast and potent resonant network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix. This knowledge allows us sources of nourishment that have a profound effect on our bodies systems.

We are offering an experience of the human body as an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals that orchestrates a vast and potent resonant network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix. This knowledge allows us sources of nourishment that have a profound effect on our bodies systems....As our internal sea becomes more viable our mass shifts accordingly. We become buoyant, gravity now an ally rather than a deterrent, our vital energy a surplus rather than a deficit. An abundance of vital energy is now available for the benefit of the organism, for healing, for revitalizing, and a fountain of ongoing health where our tissue remains luxuriant and full. In this there is no stress, no trauma, no fear, only the full bloom of magnificent life.

Filigrees of Movement
We exist in the context of life in this planet,
in accordance with waves and frequencies that flow through the galaxy, and have a lot to learn from the natural structure we know as our body, if we give it a chance to express itself.
Deepening our contact with this intelligence that permeates our wills and thoughts but remains forgotten most of the time gives us new resources to deal with personal issues.

ALL ABOUT MOVEMENT with LINDA RABIN
September 12-14, 2008
Vienna, Austria

Experience the many ways we are movement, from the inner fluctuations of breath and fluid tissues to their outer manifestation as mutable shapes and forms. Join in the playful spirit of the imagination and attend to yourself with receptivity and an open heart. Experiment with movement in gravity and space, while sounding your tissues in the chorus of the larger group body. We will draw from Continuum breaths, sounds and movements that range from micro to larger gestures. In this workshop movement is our teacher, as we savor our aliveness from moment to moment and bathe in the Òinner dance of lifeÓ.

SUMMER WORKSHOP
BREATH and THE FLUID BODY with LINDA RABIN (see flyer)
August 22-24, 2008
Brussels, Belgium

Continuum brings to light the primacy of the fluid system. On a cellular level we are an expression of undulation and pulsation, a living network of exchanges, communication and transformation. As we dive into this internal milieu we discover a world of new sensations, where we can experience movement as what we are, not only something we do.
Take the time to slow down, drop in and let unfold what emerges. Explore the movement of breath, the resonance of sound and movement within movement.

Continuum and Bodybliss Events Divo G. MŸller
Tel 089-28675590 info@bodybliss.de www.bodybliss.de

May 3rd, July 5th

This four hour workshop, especially designed for women, is offering a creative movement experience. Follow the invitation to leave the Ôevery day bodyÕ with its limitations behind. We open ourselves to return to our intrinsic nature as fluid and sensuous beings through breath, sound and a variety of subtle and vital movement explorations

June 7th The inner diamond - the sensuous pelvis
Co-Trainer Robert Schleip PhD

A day of inspiration around the pelvis and the pelvis floor. Robert will present theoretical information and Divo in depth movement experience to embody the news. The content will cover new information about Ôthe inner unitÕ as well as itÕs applications in a holistic movement approach. Professionals as movement teachers or body therapists are as well invited as curious ÔsomanautsÕ to join the course.

Intensive July 24th - July 27th
Fluid dynamics - liquid beings

During these five day movement Intensive we offer the basic concepts of Continuum and Bodybliss, combined with brand new information of the neurobiology of movement. For example: the exciting discoveries about soft tissue and fascia, the healing effects of sound into the nervous system of our animal nature, and actual insights about the importance of proprioception. Therefore we focus on the embodiment, to experience a Ôbody as motionÕ and on the refinement of the sensuous unfolding into the fluid dynamics of our being.

Depth Retreat with Susan Harper near Munich August 4 - 10th
SusanÕs understanding about biological movement and about the somatic intelligence of the human organism is resonating through all her movement and breath experiments. Her valuable talent to refine our attention into the most subtle internal movements and sensations, opens us to interact with the fluid dynamics of life, and encourages us to stay in touch with the tender strength of our embodied being.

Cool Video on Inner Cell Life at http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/anim_innerlife.html


In Zadar, Croatia there is a Sea Water Organ. Steps carved in stone along the shore have a tubular system inside. As the tide moves, waves make the air inside them move. Depending on the size, frequency and intensity of the waves different alleatory sounds are released. It was created in 2005 and received the European Prize for Urban Public Space. Zadar is a town in the Croatian coast. It was severely hit during the 2nd WW. The organ was created as a healing instrument for a wounded City.
