"Emilie Conrad is a rare and gifted teacher. Grandchild of pogroms, weathered on the streets of New York while her family was in disarray, schooled in night clubs and theaters, her voice could be that of Cassandra or the Pythian Oracle warning us of the perils in which we daily immerse ourselves, allowing the technological emotionally-detached rational mind overwhelm the archaic wisdom of our cellular heritage. In this magificent volume, she details her courageous journeys to her vantage point as an elder teacher of wisdom. She ranges from the raw movements of jazz through the ecstatic rituals of Haiti to the pulsing rhythms studied by neuroscience, weaving these seemingly disparate worlds together into a discipline for us who have to find our way through the confusions of this strange era. Both for newcomers, and those long interested in Emilie's teaching of Continuum, this book gives a clear sense of the origins of that healing work, and its very large implications for reshaping a more humane world."
