Our Hearts and prayers go out to all the people of Haiti and their loved ones everywhere.

An excerpt from
Chapter 10 Haiti Chéri
of Life on Land
by Emilie Conrad

I felt that I was in a time capsule,
reaching through the centuries.

Who are you?

The question echoed through
the caves of a long ago.

Who are you?

The drums always singing,
messengers of our blood,
let me sing your blood,
do not forget me.
I would dance with a liquid energy;
I could feel the Earth penetrating
into the soles of my feet.
Not the dirt of the ground,
but an Earth energy that was
carried by the undulating
waves of my spine...

The undulating movements
completely encompassed me
and I was wrapped in a pulsing
embrace in which there was
no thought, no anything,
simply these movements,
these messages from
a primordial origin.

Blanking out my conscious mind.
Forgetting how I ever lived or if.
Damballah would swallow me;
I would swallow it. We are one.
I become the undulating pulse
of the first wave,
and I am being urged into
the primordial darkness.

I enter without fear.
There is no emotion,
only a belonging
that melts
the very flesh.

I am home.

A message from Continuum teacher
Amber Gray

"I am en route to my home from Haiti where I have been supporting long time colleagues and friends whose local NGO's are assisting the emergency response and who will be instrumental to the long term psycho-social, health and mental health response. The magnitude of the destruction, despair and suffering in Haiti is beyond anything I have seen in many years of international development and emergency/humanitarian work. I've been working closely with an emergency response team, and almost everyone on this very seasoned team agrees: The acute phase of this disaster will extend much longer than usual; perhaps a full year.

I am so grateful to be a Continuum teacher. Movement is a powerful connection between hearts when there are no words. Continuum Movement has been my resource amidst so much pain. My 501C3, Trauma Resource International (TRI), is partnering with three local organizations in Haiti who have provided services consistently and comprehensively for twenty years---throughout many of Haiti’s worst crises, disasters and periods of violence. These organizations will be doing much of the on-going community health/mental health work with minimal support and bare-bones overhead. All three of these local organizations will be involved in long term psycho-social programs, and want to include somatic or dance/movement and arts-based modalities."

2010 WORKSHOPS & RETREATS



Join the cutting edge society!
Fluid Anatomy: Radiant Health (flyer)
Enter the Glial Cells
Emilie Conrad & Robert Litman
February 26-28, 2010 in Berkeley, CA

$475, Continuum 310-593-4651
theField@ContinuumMovement.com

Self-care becomes essential as we face these challenging times. Rather than dependency on external circumstance to govern our lives, we can learn to source ourselves from the wealth of our inner potential.

For twelve years Emilie Conrad and Robert Litman have brought their most cutting edge discoveries to an ever- intrigued public.

They teach the human body is a multiverse of undulating potentials as each unique wave stirs our receptive inner chambers creating an ignition of that which lies dormant and yet pulsating with promise.

Their research is now circling around the glial cells, a part of our neural spectrum that is revolutionary in its vast implications. Join us in this evolving, revolving world of spectacular richness

Experience how the ability for renewal touches every aspect of our existence whether in our immediate health, ageing, relationships; whatever we touch can be enriched once again.

Finally, as we inquire past our familiar terrain, what once was desperation becomes inspiration as we are brought to vistas of exquisite possibility. We move….. we breathe…….the undiscovered human awaits.

Wellsprings Intensive (5-Day)* with Emilie Conrad
March 12-16, 2010 in Santa Monica, CA

*Continuum Experience Required
$725, Continuum 310-593-4651
theField@ContinuumMovement.com

Our 5 Day Wellsprings Intensive creates an alchemical vessel in which the stirrings of new life can emerge in safety and in love. Each of us holds our own evolution, each of us also holds our own past which grips the bud of new growth making it difficult to unfold. The Intensive helps us to loosen our grip by the fertile field blossoming from our souls.

During our journey we find the Soundstream each of us echos through the days and nights of passage. Shedding skin, molting, birthing, dying; whatever is needed - one is held.


Moving Medicine* (flyer)
with Emilie Conrad
March 18-21, 2010 in Neptune Beach, FL

*Continuum Experience Required
Patricia Streit 828-863-4140
patriciastreit@windstream.net

We teach that the human body is composed of a vast and potent network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix, all orchestrated by an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals. This resonant network allows us interactions providing a profoundly beneficial effect on every bodily system.

Responsiveness is a key factor in denoting health whether in cells or in infants; we thrive through dynamic interactions and play. Consequently, habitual defenses become shields protecting us from the “art of re-newal”, thwarting the gush of ongoing life.

Together, we become immersed in a revolutionary approach to a quantum re-mapping of the human body in order to discover ourselves as renewable resources. Our tissue structure becomes multi-dimensional as streams of nourishment are readily absorbed as if one were bathing in the elixir of life itself.

Becoming adventurers in the unmapped territory of our bio-cosmic anatomy engages us with frequency realms not bound by time, space or condition. At last, we learn to summon the scope of eternal vital energies, enriching our consciousness and nourishing our souls.

Continuum of Performance: The Play of Life*
Emilie Conrad & Jean Claude van Itallie
*Continuum Experience Required
March 23-25, 2010

Early $375/$425 after February 23

We’re all divine performers – each a perpetually emerging art form --
but ordinary life rarely calls upon the nuances that lie beneath our
agreed-upon reality.

In Continuum of Performance, you are released from the confined framing of habitual patterns of thought and movement as you express the stuff of everyday life with innate artistry.

You realize your words and gestures more keenly as your mask melts into a
potent glow.The unexpected has primacy as the essential separation between performer and spectator vanishes.

In Continuum of Performance, inspired by spontaneous energy of the moment, you weave a single aesthetic thread into a miracle of meaning.

Writing the Waves*
Emilie Conrad & Rebecca Mark
*Continuum Experience Required
March 26-29
, 2010
Early $450/$500 after February 26

As we emerge from the sourcing of our Continuum journey, we put pen to paper and revel in the writing, hieroglyphic renderings, ciphers and mysterious cave drawings sometimes appearing as stories, poems and possibly dialogues as emergent characters surprisingly arrive.

We find ourselves in a process individually illuminating, mysterious, communally healing, politically radical, and in forms of genius never seen before. We move, we sound, our voices blend, our gestures reveal the moment as alive with creative fire.

Ultimately this process helps us witness the immense brilliance of the wave of cellular illumination and innovation we as humans are suspended in.

Awakening the Body of Creativity:
Continuum and Art
Barbara Mindell
March 30 - April 1, 2010

Early $300/$325 after February 28

The creative process moves from an internal source that is both mysterious and transformative. Art is a silent footprint of your inner journey. What are the deep roots of your creativity? We will learn how to combine the fertile field of Continuum movement processes with explorations in drawing, painting or collage in order to awaken your creative self expression and healing. DIVING into the primal depths of fluidity and space in your body to inform new possibilities in movement and art. OPENING yourself to the passions of the creative force as it flows through you sensing and working directly from the spirit of your movement experience onto the page. DISCOVERING other ways of seeing and perceiving. SPONTANEOUSLY creating personal imagery, shapes and textures that speak directly to the larger mystery of our lives. MOVING past fears and old patterns, bringing to life parts that have been or frozen or hidden. The focus will be on be on how, through this painting/movement experience, we discover we are the process underneath the story. Participants at all levels are welcome, no previous art or movement experience is required - only the spirit of adventure!

Embodied Presence
Teri Carter
April 2-3
, 2010
Early $225/$250 after March 2

Movement is the art natural to all living beings. In this ART OF BEING, we each have a distinct bio-field signature expressed in fractal signals of cells, tissues and fluids. WE ARE A DANCE of gestures, glides, spirals, shifts, sounds and shapes.

When we allow ‘felt sense’ to guide our discovery, each micro-event is an expression of reception and resonance with others and the field. Our bio-palate is immense, spatial dimension is our canvas, and meaning is imbued in everything we do.

Continuum will inform both our inner journey and our travel through space. We will learn to witness ourselves, each other and the environment with a lense of curiosity for both the nuance and grandeur of every moment, as the cosmos within our bodies takes on the Universal Language.

Group Cabin $1089; Double Occupancy Lodge $1145; Private Lodge $1235

This is an invitation to dwell in the gestating dark
where the quiver of new life begins its stir.

A field of vibrating resonance arises when at last
we can embrace the slow tide of awakening existence
undulating through our tissues.

Our sensory system blossoms
as our primary visual dominance no longer holds sway.
A plethora of exquisite sensations accompanies us
into a land of brilliant discovery as we awaken
to new forms of living.

Time will be spent in preparation for silent gestation
where the markers of day/night...hours/minutes......
cease to be relevant as we sink ever deeper
into the whispering dark.

In our time together you will be presented with experiential practices including movement and a variety of voicings, expanding our consciousness and
providing a deeply healing environment.

As our days weave together we have an opportunity to discover the depth and breadth of our resonant field. An abundant blend is created as our movements, voices, breaths and words create an inspiration of new significance.

In these times of extreme fragmentation and stress, delving deeper into summoning our inner resources within our communities and ourselves is
essential to live as a truly unified consciousness.

All fluids no matter how dense or aqueous basically represent ONE resonant stream of bio/cosmic intelligence becoming our primary healer and fundamental choreographer. The moving language of our inherent river of life is revealed through waves and spirals that undulate their healing messages
through our arms, legs and spines.


Here’s to Your Health with Emilie Conrad
April 11-16, 2010 at Kripalu Center, Lenox, MA

800-741-7353 www.kripalu.org

Self-care becomes increasingly more essential as one faces the challenges of our time. Rather than dependency on external circumstance to govern our lives, we learn to source ourselves from the wealth of our inner potential.

For 43 years Continuum has been exploring the astonishing potency of the fluid system that courses through our bodies under the appearance of cerebro-spinal, sinovial, blood, lymph, and extra cellular matrix.

The role of Continuum is to elicit this intelligent stream by softening our habitual constraints that mitigate our ability to be receptive to the remarkable substance called “water”.

All fluids no matter how dense or aqueous basically represent ONE resonant stream of bio/cosmic intelligence becoming our primary healer and fundamental choreographer. The moving language of our inherent river of life is revealed through waves and spirals that undulate their healing messages through our arms, legs and spines.

Water carries sound more effectively than any other element, in so doing we use a variety of “sound streams” to rouse our itrinsic molecular miracles as messengers from a divine source. Movements begin to emerge that are fractals of a universal matrix that bond us ever deeper into the miracle of life and to ourselves as part of that miracle.

theField@ContinuumMovement.com

In these intensives you learn diversity is an advantage whether in society or within our bodies; we thrive by expanding the scope of our sensory experience leading us to access alternative streams of life.

We now enter the domain of cells, mitochondria and other organisms micro-moving beneath the surface of our conventional world. Our movements become fractals of universal motifs orchestrating themselves within our versatile tissue. No longer bound in limited time/space we move freely within the universe of our organism. We can now describe the human body as a continuum of creative possibilities freely expressing the dexterity of an encompassing life. We birth a multi-layered consciousness that is able to receive the fullness of a life well lived.

dhmosler@aol.com

We humans carry with us a four billion year planetary lineage that offers a 360-degree participation with the world we live in. Our bodies are in a phase-shift as all of our intrinsic functions are waiting to continue their bio-sequencing.

Our unfolding “orbital consciousness” transforms our bodies, and circulating full body breath, we gleam like an octopus. Our new structure gifts us with extended faculties,new forms of communication and ways of knowing we never thought possible.


frontiers of health with emilie conrad

Frontiers of Health (flyer)

May 13-16, 2010 in New Mexico

Amber Gray 505-603-7021
restorativeresources@gmail.com

For over 44 years the inquiry of Continuum has been exploring the profundity of the fluid system within our bodies, planet and galaxy as one resonant stream of intelligence. Fluid molecules are a fundamental choreographer of our tissue structure and will determine the flow of information (nourishment) that is available to us.

In trauma, disease or other isolating phenomena the fluid will compress forming a barrier to the world both within and without stifling any shift of circumstance. This choreography which reveals itself in our actual tissue structure can be seen as a kind of “hologram” of survival and can be read as a diary of existence.

The social consequences of these behavior barriers will eventuate in a loss of fundamental resonance resulting in an inability to feel “the other.”

Closed systems whether within our bodies or governments cannot grow and thrive. We live in a moving world that begs for adjustment, variability and adaptive capabilities.

The unfolding intelligence of any organism or society is the development of empathy which increases flows of nourishment that lead us into frontiers of existence both internally and societally never before thought possible.

A Continuum workshop is an invitation to dive into the play of life, which spirals, undulates and pulsates with an ancient wisdom that becomes our guide and teacher. As we enter a liquid world spiraling within our cells we encounter an undulating memory of all species where millions of years of an embracing life stream circulating through planet Earth is now alive within each of us as we become inspired by this magnificent initiation.

On May 13 Stephen Porges presents
Rhythms of the body: A polyvagal perspective of how social interactions promote mental and physical health

Rhythms of the body expressed in patterns of heart rate and breathing provide measurable portals to the neural mechanisms modulating our physical and mental health. Concepts of play, social behavior, empathy, trust, love, and sharing are dependent on neural processes that require a non-conscious dialog between two people and their respective nervous systems. Without this dialog, which we observe as contingent and reciprocal social behaviors, we drift into isolation, loneliness, denial, and disease. The workshop will focus on four points: 1) the neural mechanisms expressed in autonomic rhythms that promote health and social engagement, 2) the profound effect on health of disrupting the dialog between two nervous systems, 3) the power of reciprocal social engagement and play in repairing the dialog between two nervous systems, and 4) the potential of specific body movements and social engagement behaviors as components of therapeutic models that may foster mental and physical health.

Continuum 310-593-4651
theField@ContinuumMovement.com

The human heart is a perceptual organ, receiving information from our environment and broadcasting its tones and textures to not only every cell of our own body, but to those of others as well. It is a hub of resonance, a center of our fluid system, and an organ of courage and feeling.

       Much more than a pump, the heart is an elegant regulator and participant in our essential fluid system. It is also an endocrine gland producing hormones of affiliation and vasorelaxation. It is the most direct point of access to the autonomic nervous system, whose balance is an essential factor in health and well being. The hearts own neurological system has been called “the heart brain.”
 
         Enlivened and nourished through the potentizing of its swirling fluids and those of its many rivers and tributaries, the whole body radiates in response to its beat. As we awaken to its presence through Continuum explorations, we increase our capacity for resonance, empathy and good health.

Our 10 Day Wellsprings Intensive creates an alchemical vessel in which the stirrings of new life can emerge in safety and in love. Each of us holds our own evolution, each of us also holds our own past which grips the bud of new growth making it difficult to unfold. The Intensive helps us to loosen our grip by the fertile field blossoming from our souls.

During our journey we find the Soundstream each of us echos through the days and nights of passage. Shedding skin, molting, birthing, dying; whatever is needed - one is held.

** Minimum 100 Hours Continuum Experience &
Application required, see Wellsprings page.

The goal of this practitioner-training program is to offer a breadth of approaches to those who have dedicated themselves to the art of health. Attention will be paid to pre and post-natal adaptive patterns that maintain the basic imprint of one's engagement with life.

You will learn to recognize the retentive inertia held in early adaptations seen in the shaping of tissue structure and breath. Practitioners will learn to develop and coach breath/movement protocols encouraging clients to access their own healing intelligence.

This is a revolutionary approach to a quantum re-mapping of the human body. Tissue Structure becomes multi-dimensional as streams of nourishment are readily absorbed as if one were bathing in the elixir of life itself. We thrive by expanding the scope of our sensory experience, leading us to access alternative streams of life. We enter the domain of cells, mitochondria and other organisms micro-moving beneath the surface of our conventional world.

Our movements are now fractals of universal motifs orchestrating themselves within our versatile tissue. No longer bound in limited time/space, we move freely within the universe of our organism. We can now describe the human body as a continuum of creative possibilities freely expressing the dexterity of an encompassing life.

Become adventurers in the unmapped territories of the human body. Experience the scope of our humanity by entering into frequency realms that are not bound by time, space or condition. Learn to move with profound restorative energies enriching our consciousness and nourishing our souls. Just as outer space has increased our knowledge of the world, the same holds true for our inner space. In this, we become pioneers of new ways of moving, knowing and engaging in the glorious mystery of existence. Welcome to Our Future!!

Writing the Waves*
Emilie Conrad & Rebecca Mark

*Continuum Experience Required
July 9-12, 2010
Early $450/$500 after June 9

As we emerge from the sourcing of our Continuum journey, we put pen to paper and revel in the writing, hieroglyphic renderings, ciphers and mysterious cave drawings sometimes appearing as stories, poems and possibly dialogues as emergent characters surprisingly arrive.

We find ourselves in a process individually illuminating, mysterious, communally healing, politically radical, and in forms of genius never seen before. We move, we sound, our voices blend, our gestures reveal the moment as alive with creative fire.

Ultimately this process helps us witness the immense brilliance of the wave of cellular illumination and innovation we as humans are suspended in.

SoulSounds*
David Gilbert
*Continuum Experience Required
July 13-14, 2010

Early $225/$250 after June 13

From the depths of our Being, our unique SoulSounds long to be expressed and shared. Using Continuum to create coherence and resonance within ourselves and as a group, our Hearts’ songs are revealed as our listening and allowing deepens. From the potent voice of the Field our individual voices are sourced.

We play individually, in triads, and as a group held in the Sacred witnessing of our Hearts' Presence. Come join us as we enter a space of the mystery and unknown - where stillness meets movement, sound meets silence, and our sacred sharing of our Hearts’ prayers are offered through the power of our voices, movements, gestures, and words!

The Heart of the Serpent
Malcolm Groome
July 15-17, 2010

Early $300/$325 after June 15

Shamanic Arts and Continuum are interwoven with Meditation, Myth, and Metaphor from spiritual traditions, as we explore in depth both our fluid ancestry and our Hearts’ treasure-holds.

Delving into the Serpentine consciousness of our cranial-sacral pathways, we enhance the potency of our midlines through movement and meaning.

Tuning into the Heart as the most powerful electro-magnetic generator in the body, all systems are invited to entrain with its resonance, bringing the entire body into a coherent wholeness.

Coming home to the innate Heartfulness of our inner Serpent, we realize
ourselves as primal creative life-force that is guided by
the ancient Wisdom of the Heart.

For over 44 years the inquiry of Continuum has been exploring the profundity of the fluid system within our bodies, planet and galaxy as one resonant stream of intelligence. Fluid molecules are a fundamental choreographer of our tissue structure and will determine the flow of information (nourishment) that is available to us.

In trauma, disease or other isolating phenomena the fluid will compress forming a barrier to the world both within and without stifling any shift of circumstance. This choreography which reveals itself in our actual tissue structure can be seen as a kind of “hologram” of survival and can be read as a diary of existence.

The social consequences of these behavior barriers will eventuate in a loss of fundamental resonance resulting in an inability to feel “the other.”

Closed systems whether within our bodies or governments cannot grow and thrive. We live in a moving world that begs for adjustment, variability and adaptive capabilities.

The unfolding intelligence of any organism or society is the development of empathy which increases flows of nourishment that lead us into frontiers of existence both internally and societally never before thought possible.

A Continuum workshop is an invitation to dive into the play of life, which spirals, undulates and pulsates with an ancient wisdom that becomes our guide and teacher. As we enter a liquid world spiraling within our cells we encounter an undulating memory of all species where millions of years of an embracing life stream circulating through planet Earth is now alive within each of us as we become inspired by this magnificent initiation.


Moving Medicine with Emilie Conrad
August 12-15, 2010 in Calgary, CANADA

Shirley McMillan mcmillsj@telus.net

We teach that the human body is composed of a vast and potent network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix, all orchestrated by an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals. This resonant network allows us interactions providing a profoundly beneficial effect on every bodily system.

Responsiveness is a key factor in denoting health whether in cells or in infants; we thrive through dynamic interactions and play. Consequently, habitual defenses become shields protecting us from the “art of re-newal”, thwarting the gush of ongoing life.

Together, we become immersed in a revolutionary approach to a quantum re-mapping of the human body in order to discover ourselves as renewable resources. Our tissue structure becomes multi-dimensional as streams of nourishment are readily absorbed as if one were bathing in the elixir of life itself.

Becoming adventurers in the unmapped territory of our bio-cosmic anatomy engages us with frequency realms not bound by time, space or condition. At last, we learn to summon the scope of eternal vital energies, enriching our consciousness and nourishing our souls.

The fundamental ingredients for health and sanity lie in communal solitude where our personal lives and our resonance with others becomes more fully realized. The Depths Retreats are designed to provide an embrace of rapport and care where we enter our dreamtime both individually and collectively.

“All nighters” are based on the Asclepion healing temples of ancient Greece, providing a context for our ever deepening stillness. The creative dark of new life is summoned when we become fully aware of ourselves as a moving life current without designated boundary.


The Eternal Return* with Emilie Conrad
September 10-17 at Esalen, Big Sur, CA

*Continuum Experience Required
831-667-3005, www.esalen.org

The Universe communicates to us through resonate streams that are separate from practical movements that carry us from here to there. These bio-cosmic movements undulate, spiral and pulsate re-enacting through our bodies living processes not bound by time, space or condition.

The Eternal Return is to enter with full consciousness the orbiting spiral of life as it leads us through the profundity of a continually emerging human.

In our time together you will be presented with experiential practices including movement and a variety of voicings, expanding our consciousness and providing a deeply healing environment.

As our days weave together we have an opportunity to discover the depth and breadth of our resonant field. An abundant blend is created as our movements, voices, breaths and words create an inspiration of new significance.

In these times of extreme fragmentation and stress, delving deeper into summoning our inner resources within our communities and ourselves is essential to live as a truly unified consciousness. (read more...)

In their fourteenth year of cutting-edge collaboration between the movement world of Continuum and the hands-on world of CranioSacral therapy, Emilie Conrad and Suzanne Scurlock-Durana continue to pursue the vastness of the human experience.

The CranioSacral system provides the environment from which our most important nervous system functions originate. The capacity of this system to function optimally can make or break a health care challenge, as well as providing you with a resilience that carries you in to the future with a higher quality of existence.

Emilie and Suzanne discovered a number of years ago that Continuum movement, breath and sound provide an inner stimulus that ignites the CranioSacral system and significantly enhances treatment outcomes. It creates more fluidity and opens inner doorways not possible with CranioSacral therapy alone.

Further, they realized that the specificity, and yet non-invasive, nature of CranioSacral touch vastly increases the healing outcome of any Continuum session. In doing so, the resilience of each person’s system is greatly enhanced as well as the quality of life and consciousness that is more readily available.

This year, they will continue exploring this frontier of consciousness and health – how increasing healthy fluidity enhances resilience and how conscious touch in movement can exponentially change health challenges outcomes.

Join us as we dive deeper, investigating the inner realms of health, movement and resilience. You will come away with more inner resilience and health possibilities for yourself as well as the capacity to offer it to others.

Mary Abrams 212-206-7542
mary@movingbodyresources.com

This is an invitation to dwell in the gestating dark
where the quiver of new life begins its stir.

A field of vibrating resonance arises when at last
we can embrace the slow tide of awakening existence
undulating through our tissues.

Our sensory system blossoms
as our primary visual dominance no longer holds sway.
A plethora of exquisite sensations accompanies us
into a land of brilliant discovery as we awaken
to new forms of living.

Time will be spent in preparation for silent gestation
where the markers of day/night...hours/minutes......
cease to be relevant as we sink ever deeper
into the whispering dark.

theField@ContinuumMovement.com

We’re all divine performers – each a perpetually emerging art form --
but ordinary life rarely calls upon the nuances that lie beneath our
agreed-upon reality.

In Continuum of Performance, you are released from the confined framing of habitual patterns of thought and movement as you express the stuff of everyday life with innate artistry.

You realize your words and gestures more keenly as your mask melts into a
potent glow.The unexpected has primacy as the essential separation between performer and spectator vanishes.

In Continuum of Performance, inspired by spontaneous energy of the moment, you weave a single aesthetic thread into a miracle of meaning.
