- Embodied Flow System: Adaptable, Resilient, Relevant & Responsible
EN | 4-day workshop Continuum with Megan Bathory-Peeler
In this module, 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.
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.
Ausführliche Seminarinformationen
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.

For whom is the Continuum training?
This program is for people with different somatic experiences, 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.
Many participants take part because of their personal experience and can deepen their practice through the contact with 8 Continuum experts. Some single modules assume previous experience with Continuum.
Which skills can Continuum support and empower?
- to be empathic and relational
- to be clear and decisive
- to orient and adapt
- to be vital and persevering
- 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.
