- The Art of Attention
Module 6 with Tone Gilje
Through enlivening and activating our perceptual awareness, and as we slow down we will begin to recognize the familiar patterns, cultural imprints and limitations that sets the tone in our daily activities in life. Being aware of these patters, we can consciously turn our attention and focus towards the more minute movements, shapes and currents that might still lay in the unknown territory of our organism, waiting to be experienced, felt or expressed in new ways.
In the process of learning to recognize and embrace the more silent realm of movement and sensory awareness inside, we use sound, breath and movement sequences, images and metaphors, contact with self and surroundings through touch and sensing, witness and being witnessed, we call upon the elements, using language to make meaning.
We share insights, discoveries and our experiences/exercises in smaller group or with a partner, as well as in the larger group. Leaning on the group as an intelligent and nourishing playground for learning.
What does this module focus on?
- use your curiosity as a guide in self-exploration
- be patient with yourself and rest in the not-knowing
- dissolve some of the cultural and habitual and move to a more silent level of being
- widen and expand the capacity to listen, taste, see, hear, feel, move, think…
- experience what we call a body as a living event, as an ongoing movement through life

What is Continuum?
Continuum is a somatic approach through which we can inquire and learn to tune into our bodies as living events, as an ongoing orchestration of communication and resonance, as creative intelligence operating in every cell.
We can experience that we are movement and that the movement we are can inform the movement we do. We can also experience direct sensory contact with an all-pervasive regulatory dynamic.
Which background does Continuum have?
Emilie Conrad originated Continuum in the 1960’s and developed it until her passing in 2014.
This program - taught by an international team of 8 experienced teachers - integrates various decades of Continuum material.
All teachers were trained and authorized directly by Emilie Conrad during different periods of its development. They all carry aspects of the history of the work. By exploring this history, core principles of Continuum can be integrated and new impulses for its ongoing development can organically arise.
How is the Continuum Continuing Education structured?
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.

- to be empathic and relational
- to be clear and decisive
- to orient and adapt

- to self-regulate and harmonize
- to be autonomous and team-minded
- to act from the awareness of dynamic context
- to process and reflect
- to be resilient
Which benefits does the Continuum Training provide?
If you like to become a Continuum teacher, the Continuum Training is necessary, but by itself not sufficient. The process is leaded by the Continuum Teacher Association (CTA). A diverse practice of individual experiences and a qualified mentorship are essential.
