A Continuum workshop is an invitation to dive into the play of life. As we enter our own pool of existence spiraling within our cells we encounter a pulsating timeless presence. Stirring through our tissues is an undulating memory of all species, millions of years of embracing a life stream that circulates through planet Earth is now alive within each of us as we become baptized by this magnificent initiation.
All behavior is a result of context, whether in cells, relationships or countries. We learn from within our own cells how life happens. We learn when there is less fear and resistance the world within and without will transmit new life to what may have become withered and alienated.

Cells thrive through communal resonance, creating a range of inclusion that increases their function and viability. Cellular resonance at the human level allows for a larger body in which a greater field carries the opportunity of restorative health.
In our time together, we learn that our spines are our "cosmic antennae" as we adventure through the miracle of undulating vertebral play. Our heads become chambers of discovery, our throats the song of trees and wind, our hands and feet reflect the nuanced array of unburdened movements, we are now free to move among the many streams of what it means to be alive.

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.

A revolutionary approach to a quantum re-mapping of the human body. In Continuum movement the body is nourished so that tissue structure becomes multi-dimensional, as if you were bathing in the elixir of life itself.
In Continuum movement we thrive by expanding the scope of our sensory experience, leading us to access alternative streams of life. We enter the world of cells and mitochondria 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 adventure freely within the universe of our organism. The human body becomes a continuum of creative possibilities.
Experience the scope of our humanity by entering into frequency realms not bound
by time, space or condition.
Learn to move with profound restorative energies enriching consciousness and
nourishing the soul.
Just as outer space has increased our knowledge of the world, the same holds true for our inner space. We become pioneers of new ways of moving, knowing, and engaging in
the glorious mystery of existence.
Welcome to Our Future!!

Continuum movement founder Emilie Conrad invites us to dive into the play of life. We learn to use movement as medicine and enter into our own pool of existence. There, we encounter a pulsating, timeless presence stirring through our tissues, an undulating life stream that circulates throughout the planet.
Using vocal sounds, we stir the fluid that resides within our tissues, and through vertebral play, we learn that our spine is our "cosmic antennae." Our head becomes a chamber of discovery, our throat produces the song of trees and wind, and our hands and feet reflect the nuanced array of unburdened movement.
Through our movement, we come to understand that our body was designed to continue interacting with the environment far beyond time and space. Like a tree growing its roots further into the earth with branches that spread eagerly toward the sky, we realize that we have the same ability and purpose.

Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper weave their their combined unique teachings to provide a multi-faceted spectrum of movement, breath, and sound explorations in an exquisitely tuned field of attention. In the retreat setting there is an emphasis on slowing down, shedding our habitual rhythms, and allowing a deep listening to guide us into unexplored territories.
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.
A Depths retreat includes a two and a half-day "all nighter"
- a time of communal silence where we dive into the breath, sound and movement motifs that are presented in the first days of the retreat.
“All nighters” are based on the Asclepion healing temples of
ancient Greece, providing a context for our ever deepening stillness. This is a context for deep attention and sacred transformation. We melt into our hearts, rest in our original essence, and resurrect in the primal atmosphere of love.

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 deeperinto the whispering dark.
For over 45 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.
Entropy's End...The Myth of Ageing

For years Emilie and Robert have been pooling their talents in educating the public on the fascinating adventure called “the human body”. They are also the guinea pigs of their own inquiry since as senior citizens they are questioning a collective presumed and dreaded fate as the myth of ageing looms before them.
Both say the process of entropy (moving into disorder) is not “natural”, but in fact, is the inevitability of a fixed system whose only future is to deteriorate. After all, we humans have only been around for roughly 200,000 years; teenagers as far as the planet is concerned.
It’s important to understand that patterned behavior is energy conservative, once a pattern has been established (like walking, eating, driving or any other skill) it requires a minimum of brain or energy output thereby making it an excellent survival attribute. This is a wonderful gift since we do not have to learn how to pick up a fork on a daily basis and running from tigers is instinctive. In short, we are designed for basic SURVIVAL.
The downside to patterned behaviors is that it more often than not turns into closed systems. We know that professional athletes, dancers, runners etc. will likely have injuries and deterioration of the habitual muscle groups they use since what was once an advantage will eventually weaken into limited use. For most, just the habitual movements of daily life without new flows entering the experience of existence will eventually rust us with decay.
Emilie & Robert see a system that is capable of fluid diversity with a wide range of responses as capable of engaging in the exhilaration of ongoing bio-nourishment. Just as wind stirs the ocean our breath (sound) stirs the compressed fluid within our tissue rousing it to respond from its habitual slumber.
They feel the vigor and expansion of existence is our birth –right; survival is the ability to run from tigers and evolutionary ingenuity gives us the impetus to extend our resources through the living processes of this glorious inheritance called the human body.

Cells thrive through communal resonance, creating a range of inclusion that increases their function and viability. Cellular resonance at the human level allows for a larger body in which a greater field carries the opportunity of restorative health.
Vocal sounds are used to stir the magnificent fluid that resides within our tissues. When awakened, the primary choreographer of our bio-sphere begins its remarkable dance as our bodies become glistening examples of timeless shifts.
We learn that our spines are our "cosmic antennae" as we adventure through the miracle of undulating vertebral play. Our heads become chambers of discovery, our throats the song of trees and wind, our hands and feet reflect the nuanced array of unburdened movements—we are now free to move among the many streams of what it means to be alive.
Like awakening from a deep sleep, we comprehend that our systems were designed to continue interactions with the environment far beyond time/space. Like trees growing their roots farther into the earth with branches that spread eagerly toward the sky, we, in fact, have the same ability and purpose. It is time for us to claim our birthright and its future.

In their fifteenth 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.
This year we will explore the implications of "being on the same wave length” – shared resonance - which implies a circumstance of interpenetrating mutuality. Using breath, movement, sound, touch and conscious awareness to be on the same wave length with the natural, healthy resonance of our cells creates an opportunity – a doorway – to biological innovation and better health and resilience.
Science has found a way to reverse the time-space of cellular life, returning it to its original embryonic field – our own naturally occurring stem cells.We have every capability to do this ourselves by slowing down and deeply experiencing wave motion, in order to shift our own internal time-space continuum.

We’re all divine performers – each a perpetually emerging art form --
but ordinary life rarely calls upon the nuances lying 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.

As always, we are committed to weaving the most current scientific research into our Wellsprings Practitioner protocols.
On our agenda is the subject of STRESS!!! We are planning to expand our
explorations into the Polyvagal System with its profound effect on heart, lung and intestinal disorders.
We are equally concerned with the onslaught of neural deterioration,
consequently we will be exploring the latest research on Glial and Astrocyte discoveries, as well as teaching protocols on that subject.
Be prepared to have some exciting evening film events as well as time for client discussion. We are looking forward to seeing you in November.
