Embodied Flow Systems: Adaptable, Resilient, Relevant & Responsible
Module 4 Continuum Training
In this module we will continue with, and build upon, the themes and teachings of the previous 5 modules.
In this part of the training, we will focus our attention on embodying the guiding principle of Continuum that the human body is a fluid organism in resonance with all life on this planet and with the movements of the cosmos.
It follows logically that if water in inherently adaptable and the human body is primarily water then we, too, as human beings are also inherently adaptable, flexible, and open to change.
- How then, do we help our systems become more resilient and recover more quickly from unexpected challenges, blockages, or difficulties?
- How can we become more self-sufficient and sustainable in our use of our own life-force?
- How do we connect this thing that we do on the floor to what is relevant, to what supports the rest of our lives, and allows us to actively respond to what is needed in the world?
Human beings are not isolated, closed systems. We are open systems of flow where there is an active exchange of information, energy and materials between each individual and our surroundings. If we think of the body-mind as a river and the “source” is the central axis of the body and the earth/cosmos is the “ocean,” in order for the river to flow freely to the ocean, the “streams” of connection through the extremities must be opened up first.
The sounds, movements, and breaths we utilize in Continuum are instrumental in the clearing of any upstream blockage and restoring the downstream flow of information in our body-mind rivers. This supports state of resonance between the cultural, cosmic, and primordial/undulating aspects of our body-mind.
This module will empower us to challenge any self-limiting beliefs that we may have about ourselves, our body-minds, or our personal/professional practices that holds us back from embodying the truths of our deeper river selves. We will explore how the principles of Continuum can give us a foundation from which true freedom of expression and exploration can spring forth.

Touching the history of Continuum to inquire into its future
This program - taught by 8 teachers - integrates various decades of Continuum material. All teachers studied with Emilie Conrad who originated Continuum in the 1960’s and developed it until her death in 2014.
Emilie Conrad taught in a constant state of inquiry. While each step embedded and enfolded the previous one, it also meant students entering the work in the 80’s were exposed to different material than students entering it in the 2000’s. This program attempts to bring together various Continuum „periods“ by bringing together teachers who were introduced to the work at different times.
The very nature of Continuum is to witness ourselves as a living process, open to the ongoing evolution of teachings and applications. Even though we follow basic core principles, Continuum remains an ongoing, unfolding inquiry into the mystery of conscious human life. Through the variety of teachers in this program, we hope to encourage students to trust their own inquiry, somatic movement research and to develop their own style.
For whom is this program?
This program is for lay people, somatic professionals, therapists, teachers, creatives, leaders, innovators - anyone who has a body - anyone who wants to connect more deeply to what it means to be human.
