About the Jan 2012 series:
Continuum Movement & Somatic Release is an all-levels continuum movement experience, designed to encourage an internal climate of restoration and renewed somatic vitality, by allowing a gentle dissolving of compression in the body's tissue and joints. The practice of Continuum builds on intuitive, fully embodied movement , that is novel and refreshing. Continuum inspires a breaking through of physical and emotional "obstacles" that limit the flow of healing energy in the body.
Connect with your cosmic and primal roots through
Continuum Movement's resonant sounding, vibrational breathing, soulful meditation, and liquid wave motion. Sensationally awaken to your mid-line from the inside out, and feed other areas of your life with creative potency and vitality.
As winter solstice approaches, and we move deeper into the the rhythms of the night (the underworld), our psyches naturally start to go inward and we become more introspective. It is a time for renewal, integration, and mystical body-mind-spirit reconnection.
Come and enjoy this somatic meditation!
Happy body = Happy human.

What Daphne's clients have said about her:
"Daphne helps me to be me. She creates an incredibly open, safe fertile ground/space where my dance and my being can play deep, heal, and then teach me. Daphne is completely present with me and I feel so whole-heartedly listened to, witnessed, and affirmed. Sometimes she sees me better than I see myself. Our work together has gotten me through life lessons that felt overwhelming, in a way that became poetic, sweet, and filled with light!"
Camille Dieterle, OTD, OTR/L Director, OT Faculty Practice, USC, Los Angeles.
------------------------------
"Daphne shares all her gifts when she facilitates this work, offering her skill and grace. she is also a very generous and joyful person, who makes you feel safe and ready to dive in fully. she guides with a wisdom that comes from her own deep connection to the source of movement, dance, voice, and the mystery of the body's impulses and ancient language."
Cheryl Banks-Smith, dance educator, choreographer--Pasadena City College.
------------------------------
FOCUS: I specialize in supporting busy, professional women, who feel disconnected from their inner strength and their feminine power, and who are suffering as a result--mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. I help professional women connect with their higher purpose in life, particularly, if they are in the midst of loss, or a very challenging life-transition. I work with these women using the dynamic nature of the Life-Art Process, the cellular regenerating potency of Continuum Movement, and the universal wisdom of Energetic Healing tools.

Let yourself be guided in creative movement and expressive flow, for a regenerating somatic experience. Learn what it means to listen to your body. Find renewal in the wisdom of your own body and learn to access these rejuvenating tools at any time.
Connect with the interconnectedness of all life. Feel what it means to be one with everything. Regardless of background or ability, the gift of somatic awareness and creative expression is available to everyone. It is our birthright!
As a Halprin practitioner, and a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, my sessions with clients come alive and are enriched by calling upon image, dialogue, poetic writing, natural movement and dramatic expression - all in the spirit of the creative potency that my work aims to inspire.
"The soul speaks to us through the arts and creativity, through story and metaphor, through rich and often ancient symbols, and through expressing authentically with soma, the body. Continuum Movement facilitates intensive somatic healing and regenerative work, using breath and sound vibration to tap into the wisdom of the body. The Life-Art process offers us a universal template for understanding the creative language of the soul beautifully--the language of symbolic imagery, and poetry of movement, art, drama, dance and performance."
