For thousands of years we have studied the heavens, tracking the movements of stars and planets as a way to reach into the macrocosm and make meaning of our human experience. The constantly changing geometry of the night offers us a personal reflection, a way of orienting ourselves in a dynamic context of ongoing involutionary and evolutionary cycles within cycles.

Astrology is an ancient and evolving art of mapping and interpreting the relationship with and felt experience of the movements of heavenly bodies as they interact with us individually and collectively. We are a living cosmic dance, expressing in and through the many dimensions of reality - learning, growing and evolving as one universal symphony. The twelve zodiac archetypes reflect the complexity and multivalent nature of this choreography.

In this course, we will explore and discover the universe within, mapping our own cosmic body. Each class will explore the astrological themes and highlights of the current season, attuning each of us to the energies influencing our personal lives and global collective. These themes will then be woven into a Dive, a non verbal, somatic experience of these cosmological energies. Diving below cognition and critical thinking, we tap the intuitive body wisdom inherent in the language of movement and sound. Continuum is a self-directed somatic practice grounded in breath, felt sensation, attention, movement and sound/vibration. Through the wide aperture of this innovative approach to embodiment, fuller incarnation is made possible. The landscape of the body becomes the skyscape of the stars. Outer reflects inner and inner reflects outer. It is here where eternity meets time, where form meets emptiness, where earth and heaven are One.

This 4 part online class series will meet on the first Saturdays of the month from 12:30pm - 5pm EST (dates listed below). Each class will contain content, experiential practice ( a long dive, meditation ) and Q/A.

All classes offered on Zoom, recorded and downloaded to Dropbox.

Tuition for all 4 classes: $300; can be paid in full or 2 or 3 installments or can be taken individually for: $95.

FRIDAY MORNINGS
LIQUID RESILIENCE • on-going weekly gatherings • January 5 – June 14, 2023 • 8:30-10:00 am ET/2:30-4:00 CET • online via zoom

Join Zoom Meeting – Liquid Resiliencehttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84176261284
Meeting ID: 841 7626 1284

Open the door this autumn to the body’s inherent wisdom through the moving mindfulness practice of Continuum. These weekly explorations will creatively awaken the physiology of the body with active, fluid body workouts in balance with restorative, expansive explorations asking: What is support? What is strength? What is resilience?

As the world around us continues to be in constant flux, reclaiming our own truth, trusting our own inner wisdom and honing our listening skills has never been more important. What would our lives be like if joy and pleasure are what motivated us? What if we embraced all movement as the medicine that brings us health and vitality? What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear, anxiety and overwhelm?

• True Beginners welcome. In fact, a Beginner’s Mind strongly encouraged for all.• I strongly urge you to softly allow the flow of your day to allow you to arrive with enough time to set up and be settling in at 8:30 am ET/2:30 pm CET
• Prepare a clean and cleared floor space with a blanket, any cushions, a chair and anything else you need to be comfortable and fully present.
• Hydration is essential. Everyone is encouraged to drink 2 cups of water before the start of class. Have a full water bottle nearby.
• Bring a notebook to write in every week.
• We will often use balls in class. Having a tennis ball and a 9 inch soft ball is strongly encouraged. Here’s a link to the ball that I like best. There are many versions of these on the market and any will work. 9″ BALL
• Bring your curiosity and an open mind, and you’ll have everything you need!

These weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest, reflection, acceptance, compassion, discovery, and inspiration?
FIND SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION ON FRIDAY MORNINGS!

Moving Within Mystery.......
We galvanize our attention, turn and face what we do not know, trusting the emergence of truth, of the unknown from that place, that space of infinite essence. Mystery reshapes itself as us, through us. We are carried in its river, and we are loved.
Where are we now? How do we bridge the traditions of Continuum, hold them sacred and make room for the rapidly evolving inquiries that occur within us and within our collective? An old paradigm is in dissolve as another emerges. Here, we fold in and incorporate the intelligence of the natural world from the primordial to the breathtaking scope of our plasma universe. We remember ....the crystalline matrix....feeling the rapture of one single wave motion riding one single breath. And when the Universe is singing within our cells, we retrace the ancient pathways. We lean into our traditions, rediscovering lineages long lost and folding their wisdom back in and through us.

April 26 – 28, 2024 • Lansdowne, PA

“Depending on what is necessary at the moment we can shift our structure, thought, and tissue simultaneously in order to enrich the world we inhabit and, consequently, the world we are creating…The ‘I’ of the Cultural Anatomy turns into the ‘we’ of the Primordial Anatomy and eventually becomes the all-inclusive ‘field consciousness’ of the Cosmic Anatomy.”  
~ From Life On Land by Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum

Continuum uses breath, sound, and subtle movement to explore the vast reality of our inner life and to find inspiration in the majestic realms of our biology. Under the guidance of three masterfully creative teachers of Continuum, this workshop is an invitation to show up fully as we are and meet the mystery of what is.

Learn how the Three Anatomies support one another and discover what it means to be a “broadband virtuoso”.

Opening the Doors of Perception with Continuum
6 weeks of spring classes • May 7-June 11, 2024 • Tuesday evenings 6:00-8:00 pm • Drop-in to any or come to all!
@ Community Yoga & Wellness, 16 Federal Street Greenfield, MA

"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." ~ Aldous Huxley

Remember how delicious springtime felt to us as children? When bare feet touch earth and the days seem to be growing endless? When there is so much time and it is slow enough that we can sense, savor, and soak in everything as it comes?

Continuum is a practice that opens the time and space for you to fully and radically explore what it means to be a spirit in a human body-mind. By engaging with simple breaths, vocalized sounds, meditative awareness, creative visual imagery, and familiar biological sensations you will increase the fluidity of your body, recovering and restoring sensations that get flattened and lost in the speed of modern life.

Over these 6 weeks we will explore beneath the surface of what our senses present to us in order to perceive and experience what is held inside them. By opening the doors of perception, we will shift our habits of how we pay attention and how we move in our bodies out into the world. We will explore how interconnected we are to the biodiversity of the world as it is: intelligent, aware, alive, interactive, communicative, and filled with soulfulness. We will practice essential grounding and expansion techniques in order to root our individual awakenings of awareness into new daily habits in our beings.

"Once you see again with the eyes of a child, feel with the undefended heart, once you can enter that state at will, then what?" ~ Stephen Harrod Buhner

Appropriate for all ages and abilities. Since everyone was once a child we all have an entire library of embodied knowledge, movements and sensations to rediscover within us. Bring your curiosity and an open mind, and you’ll have everything you need!

Please wear comfortable layers of clothing you feel most at ease moving in, have a notebook to write in, and a full water bottle on hand.

To register, email: megan@somanautiko.com

Suggested tuition: $25 per class/drop-in • commit to all 6, prepay $125 by first class & get one class FREE!

For each class, there is a suggested tuition. Please do not let your own personal circumstances prevent you from coming to classes. Please call Megan to arrange a rate that is affordable for you.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call Megan directly at: 413.772.0078

Moving Body Playground: Making Contact
May 17 - 19, 2024
a weekend workshop with Megan Bathory-Peeler and Ellen Cohen

Time Commitment: Arrive Friday 2 pm • Saturday all day • Sunday 1 pm Depart
Workshop Fee: $580 all inclusive
To Register: https://www.shantigar.org/moving-body-playground

Megan Bathory-Peeler and Ellen Cohen bring the magical delights of Continuum to the natural beauty of Shantigar. This year, our theme is Making Contact.

We will play at the intersection of Continuum and Contact Improvisation. We will engage the active and dynamic aspects of Continuum, referred to as Continuum Playground, to come into contact-full and improvisational relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us.

A key characteristic of any healthy system is its ability to adapt to the changing demands of its environment. By moving our bodies fluidly, in a multiplicity of positions and situations, we get beyond culturally imposed rigidities, fixations, and limitations experienced in daily life. Human bodies are at least 70% fluid. About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Continuum reconnects us to our essential biology and interconnectedness of all life on this planet by engaging the potency of fluid movement.

Moving Body Playground also offers the unique opportunity to use specific Continuum equipment—the Explore Board—as well as household furniture, trees, rocks, and the land itself. Shantigar’s natural playground is the perfect place to spend a weekend focused on building strength and resilience through creative, dynamic play. This immersive workshop invites us to extend the scope of our ability to connect inside ourselves, outside in nature, and with one another.

Continuum and Meditation

The art of fluidity and stillness

Making space for all that happens in our inner life is a radical act of self care...

Saturdays ~ June 1, 8, 15 and 29 ~ 11am-3pm ET

To reach the depth we wish to access, let's dive below the layers to deeper parts of ourselves through the fluid practices of Continuum and the stillness practices of Meditation.

Life is always urging us to seek more. Small changes on the surface of our lives may fail to alleviate stagnancy or frustration, and we may need to examine our lives and ourselves more deeply to find the right places to look.

Everything we need for success and joy lies within.

To reach what we wish to access, we must dive below the surface to the deeper parts of ourselves.

The first layer can be found in our minds. Our to-do lists and busywork are usually less important than we think, so we must look past them to examine the thoughts that matter most to us.

The next layer can be found in the sensory.voice of the body which is always calling to us to pay closer attention. It is a part of our way of navigating the world around us.

And our hearts, that place of feelings where past hurts, disappointments, grief, love and pure joy and vulnerabilities, as well as the truth of who and what really stirs the love within us.

It is in the body where we can reconnect with our power, our raw instincts, our organic yeses. Here, at the core, lies our truth. Our fluidity is the foundation of which we have been made, our authentic truest nature.

When we explore ourselves to these depths through sound, movement. curiosity, care and stillness, we find what comes to the surface and what we wish to let go of and keep. When we remember what lies beneath our layers, we can look at what was floating on the surface, and what lays in the depths. This time of exploring self offers a way of navigating the world inside and outside. We can learn, witness and explore how the voice of the body can help us to listen more deeply what currents are below the surface of everyday living for greater clarity and presence.

Please contact Bobbie to register.

This retreat, entitled "In-2-Me See", is a specialty retreat for young adults ages 18-25 and is at Shalom Mountain Retreat and Study Center June 13-16th.  

Young adults are often in a time of making important life decisions and finding their unique voice in the world. Within a safe and loving community, they will be supported in taking up their power, listening to their inner wisdom, and wrestling with the hard questions of life.
There will be deep in time for transformational ritual, process work, somatic experiencing and movement, and self discovery.

I am co-leading this adventure with my partner Rick and our beloved "Shalom friend" Arianna, each of us bringing our own unique gifts to the group we will be working with.  Together, we are weaving what promises to be a rich experience of connection, resourcing, support, and possibilities of discovery for all who attend.

If you have a young adult in your life who you think might benefit from some support, might be curious about their own self discovery, looking for healthy community connection, or want to dip their toes into somatic work please share this opportunity with them.  I am also very happy to have a conversation with anyone interested.  

I deeply believe in the importance and possibility of helping all beings, but especially young adults, uncover their potential as alive vibrant beings.  I'm excited to be able to offer tools and resources to help them meet both the amazing stuff and the hard stuff in their lives.  

If you have someone in mind to share this opportunity with, please do.

Please click here to register.

‍

In this immersion time, we will have the 4 days to drop deep together, calling on, surrounded by, and moving as the elements.
It will be a time to let ourselves remember, be nourished, be moved and inspired through our shared field and elemental being-ness.

Our time together will include sacred ritual, extended dive time, silence, and opening ourselves to listening deeply, as well as sharing with our small group.

The property that I have reserved for this time together is just outside of Buena Vista, CO and offers the gift of access to Earth's deep waters, a natural hot spring pool! It is along side a creek and has access to trails for those who want to deepen further into the surrounding nature.

Space is very limited and will fill on a first come first serve basis.
There are single room, shared room, and camping opportunities on property.
Registration ends May 11th.

Please email Kori for details, confirmation of availability, and registration: kori@myfluidnature.com

*Continuum experience is required for this retreat.

Co-faculty: Robin Becker, Ellen Cohen, Melanie Gambino, Bonnie Gintis, Elisabeth Osgood-Campbell and Linda Rabin.

Reclaim the pleasure of breathing. Breathing is central to being at ease in relationship with our bodies, our Selves, and the world around us. Continuum gives us elegantly simple, practical, and relevant tools that engage the transformative nature of breathing while exploring fluid movement.

All breath-stopping patterns – screen apnea, news apnea, sleep apnea, and so on – are eventually paralyzing. Continuum dissolves internal restrictions providing ease and comfort in our bodies with cleansing movement practices. Conscious breathing restores equilibrium, without having to understand or fix what is wrong.  

Collective engagement grows while practicing and exploring in our workshop sessions together. Our creative exchanges will generate benefits that extend far beyond the workshop. This retreat is for anyone who wishes to sustain themselves from a fluid state of wholeness, well-being, spontaneity, and joy.

Continuum Mystery School ~ Initiation and Remembrance

6 days immersion between July 15-20 2024 in Echay, France
Emilie Conrad created the Mystery School for Continuum teachers as our cultivated pathway to tend the sacred waters which inspire every aspect of Continuum’s teachings. This is an initiation rite for new teachers and requires the adept skills of Continuum experience. Through our practiced pathways we join our ancestors and the archetypical nature of humanity, opening to remembrance of our place in this cosmic dance of life/death/rebirth. Inside Mystery School, we activate our inherent somatic intelligence through potent alchemical symbols which allow us to participate in the living inquiry of Mystery.

Fingers of mind reaching for a deeper awareness…. an understanding that cannot be named but can be felt and sensed in the holy waters of our being…. What molecules of emotion sense the sacred? What receptor site pathways inspire humanity from time immemorial and through every culture to seek, court, and tend the sacred? To enter, again and again, the waters of revelation, we are reminded and reawakened to our awareness of this precious nutrient which gives meaning to our lives. In ritual space, within a field of Grace, we undulate in the dark expanse. Here, we meet ourselves in sound, in movement, in silence.
Sabine and Gael care deeply about this aspect of Continuum because it changed their lives. They hold the Mystery School rituals as our collective moving prayer to the source-waters. Their mutual passion for this body of work has inspired collaboration since 2019.

Gael Rosewood studied with Ida Rolf, the founder of Rolfing / Structural Integration In 1968. Gael met Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper in 1978 and continued to study with them, becoming a Continuum teacher in 1991. She has taught Rolfing, Rolfing Movement and Continuum, maintaining a practice in these modalities.

Sabine Mead is a Master Somatic Movement Educator and Continuum Teacher, mentored by Emilie Conrad and authorized to teach Continuum in 2007. She has done many years of in-depth study with Susan Harper and continues her own inquiry through innovations of sound, unique weavings of themes and explorations.

Whales are magnificent wisdom carriers of the ocean, with much to share about compassion and generosity. Our own bodies are 70-80% water; the remnants of oceanic living are still inside us and available to teach us about flow, creativity, and resiliency. This restorative eco-somatic retreat combines daily whale and other ocean-dwelling creature encounters with movement, dance, breath, sound, and engaged writing practices, explorations, and deep “dives.” We also support Tonga, an island threatened by rising and polluted waters, through inspired action to help us steward mother earth.

This retreat will be dedicated to exploring the healing properties of water. Water is essential to life and all civilizations have celebrated the mysterious powers of water.
We will meet with the Entity named Earthly Sacred Water through journeying into accessible rituals of Perception, Intention and Awareness and we will explore these principles somatically in Continuum dives.
The space of the retreat is surrounded by pure crystalline mountains water of CZ, and we will fully connect with the pristine earth energies held by this beautiful environment.
‍
Sylvain will share his knowledge about spiritual perception, intention and awareness to create a context for the mind where healing and magic can happen.
This retreat will be some sort of « out of time » experience where very little verbal language will be necessary, beside the explanations for the rituals and the dives.
We will tune into the language of Mother Nature being guided by the entity of Sacred Water, the spiritual expression of the water element and by the energies of the land.
The overall focus for participants is about allowing healing of the physical, emotional and mental body through fluid movements and de-animation processes.
And there will be individual session as well facilitated by Sylvain to move through the layers of the healing process.
‍
Each day there will be a different ritual and a different dive to connect more deeply with the spiritual expression of the ground waters present on the land and their connection with the universe.
‍
Be ready for a soft and powerful healing time with deep transformational outcomes.
(For information, healing will not be provided by Sylvain or anyone else, its will be carried by the intention to connect with the universal forces at the root of the creation flux. These incredible universal forces hold the healing patterns to synchronize with the «pure state of being». Pure state of Being has to be understood as a universal pattern that is not distorted by the physical laws of the material universe & the human physical mind. It lays in the quantum non physical realms).

This conception of the 3 anatomies opens up wider possibilities for us to evolve beyond the limitations of the cultural constructs. It opens a portal to expand and experience others ways to be on the earth and to free ourselves from the personal and collective narrative. It is a path towards inner freedom and a deep connection with the earth and the universe.
We will explore the three anatomies with sounds, breaths, moving sequences, creative images to sink into the cellular depths of these sedimentary anatomical layers which make up the different dimensions of our human existence and may also tell us how we came into form as a specie.

The Ocean is home. Considered the mother of us all in many sacred traditions, she absorbs more carbon dioxide than anything else on our planet. For every breath we take, we have the ocean to thank for offering the gift of oxygen, and therefore, of life. In these times of profound climate crisis, our health depends on planetary health. Planetary health depends on ocean health.

Whales are magnificent wisdom carriers of the ocean, with much to share about compassion and generosity. Our own bodies are 70-80% water; the remnants of oceanic living are still inside us and available to teach us about flow, creativity, and resiliency. This restorative eco-somatic retreat combines daily whale and other ocean-dwelling creature encounters with movement, dance, breath, sound, and engaged writing practices, explorations, and deep “dives.” We also support Tonga, an island threatened by rising and polluted waters, through inspired action to help us steward mother earth.

Life force is difficult to define. Yet, once we step away from outer-focused action we can both sense and nourish it. Over this long weekend, we will engage in biologically based explorations, developing deep personal resources by tending our inner fluid nature. We will use the Continuum process of breathing, sounding, and fluid movement to provide ourselves heartfelt and soulful attention, galvanizing health and wellbeing; it’s the perfect antidote to today’s overly programmed and homogenized world.

The serene Dharmakaya retreat setting, where basic needs are elegantly met, allows multiple days of immersion into the breath, sound and fluid movement sequences of Continuum. The primary focus is on the life affirming act of supporting personal life force, rather than tending the day-to-day activities of survival, which often lock bodies and identities into tense self-limiting patterns.

Practicing in the covered Outdoor Pavilion restores our connection to nature, giving a necessary infusion of the elemental energies that make up our bodies and our world. The indoor Meditation Hall and fire pit offer additional spaces for nurturing introspective and interoceptive discoveries.

This is a somatic movement workshop accessible to all ages and levels of ability.  Once laid out, the practices are done at one’s own pace. This self-guided aspect of Continuum builds inner authority and offers the opportunity for deeper levels of self-regulation—a necessary component of health, wellbeing, creativity and learning.
