Based on the groundbreaking movement and self realization technique, Continuum Movement is an in-depth exploration of our fluid origins and the creative potential of water to innovate new life. The fluid inner landscape of the body is in constant motion, and as we bring our attention to this boundless resource of movement within, we become more conscious and responsive to the endless possibilities of life emerging and unfolding through our physical beings.

What distinguishes Continuum Movement from other movement practices is that one does not follow a learned and prescribed system of movements. Instead, unique breath, sound and movement practices are taught and then used to initiate personal movement exploration.

This workshop will integrate the Continuum Movement with the perspectives and practices of the Sufi tradition. The goal of many Sufi practices is to bring more light to the body. By searching the spaces within the body and bringing our consciousness into them, we become more expansive, permeable and responsive. We will discover the space of the heart and how the qualities and conditions of the heart radiate throughout our entire system in harmony with the breath.

Breath and sound practices will be used to initiate movement and we will become aware of the different ways of perceiving, sensing and attending to life through the body. Moving individually and communally, we will explore a dynamic range of inner movement from the expressions of creative dance and improvisation to the contemplative interior exploration of the deep stillness that resides in all movement.
