2008 Weekly Continuum Classes with Robert Litman
LOVE AND BREATH IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
CONTINUUM MOVEMENT CLASSES EXPLORING
THE ANATOMY, MOVEMENT AND VITALITY OF YOUR PELVIS
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS, JULY 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 – 7:15 – 9:30 AM
$125 FOR THE WHOLE SERIES OR $30 PER VISIT
“Keeping the hips still – making the sacrum stiff – dangerous –
the heart suffocates”
I Ching – Chinese Proverb
Bringing attention to this area of your body gives you experience in how the pelvic region can be the source for creativity and health. The processes of breathing and circulation intricately weave with the flexibility of the pelvis.
We will spend our time together inhabiting this sacred territory using the micro movements, breaths and sounds of Continuum Movement. We will deepen the potential of inquiry with an overview of the anatomy of the fluid dynamics of the bones, muscles and organs of the pelvis and the relationships of other bodily structures to the delicacy of pelvic wave motion.
At the beginning of each class, I will present a brief review of the preceding classes and an overview for the day’s class. Each class includes lecture, demonstrations, questions and answers, and personal time for explorations. Each participant has their own personal area in the room with a mat, blanket and pillow and time to follow the day’s breath, sound and movement sequences. Creating maps of the internal landscape of your body is an ongoing process and involves learning in layers. Each class will allow you to explore at your own pace and sense of safety. Class is open to all levels of experience.
Come join me for the whole series or any individual class.

SATURDAY NIGHT CLASS Embodying Spirit
with Malcolm Groome In Santa Monica, California
The Saturday Night Class gives us an opportunity to come together in community to explore an embodied spirituality. Night dives enhance the aspect of Continuum that is based in the Mystery Schools, as we explore serpentine movement, our fluid ancestry, and a resonance with the Cosmos. Emphasis will be on dissolving any rigidity of form, surrendering into stillness, and dwelling on that mystical threshold between form and formlessness. We will be tuning into a Oneness that is at the ground of Beingness, beyond all duality, underneath all manifestation, and allowing this Awareness to permeate and inform our daily lives.

DEEPENING our CURRENTS
with Teri Carter
Our breath is the voice of our soul. ContinuumÕs subtle movements, sound and breath play the song of our soma, where fluid transformation happens at cellular & perceptual levels in resonance with the field, revealing our embryonic potential. Body-Mind Centering unmasks our inner terrain for a multi-dimensional remapping of flesh, bone, organ, fluid, nervous & cranial sacral systems.

LIBERATING THE ARTS (click for details)
July 14-28 in Santa Monica, CA (see flyer)
Emilie Conrad, Creative Director
3 Consecutive Workshops, evening performances as well
For the past forty-one years, Continuum has provided an extraordinary movement journey that has taken thousands of people into undiscovered territory. The result is, ÒLiberating The ArtsÓ a program that is devoted to establishing an art form that expresses these unique adventures.
The sound and moving arts, as well as the written and visual arts are soul signals that take us beyond conventional thought into subterranean landscapes that surface in mysterious and unpredictable ways informing and re-forming our habitual world.
As social systems stumble for new sources of restorative modalities we find that within our own free-flowing spirit the light of renewal shines its presence.
Below are listed a series of workshops led by an experienced Continuum faculty that will take creative expression from interesting entertainment to cultural necessity.
Included in the two week program will be several evening performances that have been inspired by Continuum.
Performance schedule will be announced.

Osteopathic Self-Treatment With Continuum Movement Ð A 3-Day Depths Retreat
With Bonnie Gintis, DO
August 15 Ð 17, 2008
Location: The Dance Palace, Pont Reyes, Marin, CA
Friday 6:30 Ð 9PM, Saturday 10:00AM Ð 4:30PM, Sun 9:30AM Ð 3PM
In this workshop for experienced Continuum participants only, we will explore the creative potential that is available when combining the principles of Osteopathic Treatment and the practice of Continuum Movement. Taking time over a 3-day period to slow down the tempo of how we listen and relate to our bodies allows a deepening of the expression of Health and well-being. Osteopathy and Continuum are both based on a philosophy that trusts in the deep wisdom of the body to be self-healing when allowed to fully express and freely organize movement. This workshop is an invitation to engage in an experience, a felt-sense of many concepts that are usually only experienced while being treated by an Osteopath. This experience is valuable both as a way to learn self-treatment, and for health care practitioners, as a way to develop and deepen oneÕs diagnostic and treatment skills.
Cost: $225 if paid in full on or before July 1st . (After July 1 $250.)

In the Realm of Silent Wisdom:
Continuum Movement© and Body-Mind Centering©
With Vicky Topp & Gael Ohlrgen
August 31-September 4, 2008 at Esalen (see flyer)
This workshop will pose experimental, somatic questions: How do we access kinesthetic intelligence? How can we change the context of interaction with self and environment in a way that excites, refreshes, and renews? How do we create space for ourselves and spaciousness in our perspectives?
The program will begin with a kinesthetic remembrance of our embryonic and oceanic origins when our tissues were shaped by fluid. Using movement, breath, and sound explorations, the workshop will seek to awaken access to our body's wisdom and to replenish our sense of well-being and belonging.
Participants will explore the integration of these more internal states through healing touch, walking, and somatic resonance with each another. This will be facilitated by brief lectures, demonstrations, movement explorations, experiential anatomy, and handson practice. This workshop is for all those interested in blending BMC and Continuum approaches into their bodywork, dance, yoga, meditation, psychophysical practices, and life.
All levels of experience are welcome.

THE BREADTH OF BREATH with Emilie Conrad & Robert Litman
September 26 Ð 28, 2008 Ð Berkeley, California
From distant spiraling galaxies, through our multi-layered organism to the central core of our DNA, our breath carries messages to and from the universe. We are both receiver and messenger as our exhale transmits the tone of our internal landscape. In a society fraught with stress and anxiety, our most useful contribution is an exhale sending signals into the world that peace and possibility still exist. We can learn to transform and recycle negativity and enhance the message of greater good. Movement potential whether in breath or tissue brings us to the very core of life giving nutrients that give us the ability to restore health and well-being in our daily cycles of life.

The Evolution of Ida Rolf's Vision - Continuing the Exploration
with Gael Ohlgren and Robert Litman (see flyer)
(co-authors of the article Tao of Exercise and Self-care)
August 4-7, 2008 in Boulder, Colorado
Developing new kinesthetic edges creates more permeability to our embodied meanings and to resonance with others. R. Kerrick Murray, ACR had this to say:
ÒThis workshop explores new ways to blend our clinical SI practices with the insights and techniques of state-of-the-art Continuum. As a result of the class IÕve been successful in eliminating a long-standing sleep apnea problem. IÕve learned to work with clients in new ways that facilitate quicker releases and integration. If you believe that we do indeed ÔrolfÕ from our embodiments and youÕre curious as to where our work might be heading, sign up for this class. I highly recommend it."
Our time together will include:
The anatomy, physiology and movement of breath.
Combining breath, sound, and slow-spiraled movements as a self-education process in the power of propulsion available within the coiling/uncoiling of our connective tissue.

Deep Roots Movement with Amber Gray
Thursday July 10, 2008 6-9 pm ÒIlluminating"
This series of ÒdivesÓ is for those who have some experience with Continuum Movement. Each three hour dive will be a rich landscape of exploration and awareness of the wellsprings of creativity, flexibility and joy that exists in our bodies, and an opportunity to root us into the experience of corporal presence.
Continuum is a movement practice pioneered by Emilie Conrad that increases mobile flexibility, motility, well-being, creativity, innovation, adaptability and vitality on many levels. Unlike movement practices that rely on fixed patterns or postures, Continuum movement enables us to access our capacity for fluid, free, non-constrained movement, which enhances a sense of youthfulness, aliveness and well-being.

A Moving Medicine Workshop with Emilie Conrad
June 30-July 4 “Moving Medicine”, Rhinebeck, NY (flyer)
Omega Institute 800-944-1001, registration@eomega.org
We are offering an experience of the human body as an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals that orchestrates a vast and potent resonant network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix. This knowledge allows us sources of nourishment that have a profound effect on our bodies systems....As our internal sea becomes more viable our mass shifts accordingly. We become buoyant, gravity now an ally rather than a deterrent, our vital energy a surplus rather than a deficit. An abundance of vital energy is now available for the benefit of the organism, for healing, for revitalizing, and a fountain of ongoing health where our tissue remains luxuriant and full. In this there is no stress, no trauma, no fear, only the full bloom of magnificent life.

Women, Eros and Pleasure:
Redefining Feminine Sexuality through the Art and Practice of Continuum
September 12Ð14 with Sabine Mead
At the core of a womanÕs spiritual nature is the deep well of Eros. This aspect of our essential nature is one of the least understood and most feared in our modern culture, and has forged an enormous schism in our psyche and being. Eros is the primary healer inherent in our biosystem or what we call a body; it is the necessary ingredient that exhilarates self, enlivens our tissues, restores our vitality, and nourishes our passion, all of which are paramount to our health as women.
This workshop is an in-depth inquiry into our erotic nature, parsing out and broadening our concepts of sexuality and sensuality. Moving beyond preconceived ideas and superficial notions of sexuality, we allow ourselves to discover the universal tides of Eros. These tides open our imagination and help us cultivate a capacity to more deeply inhabit our bodies and reclaim our primal birthright to embody pleasure and wholeness.
Continuum is a dynamic combination of movement, breath, sound and sensation to access our inherent bio-intelligence rooted in the fluid systems of the body. As the human body is composed of 80% water, by activating and invigorating these various fluids, we penetrate the density of tissue and create a plasticity needed for movement, communication, health and wholeness. This practice creates an opportunity to dissolve physical and psychological blocks thereby allowing spaciousness for deeper levels of embodiment.

Other Continuum News = Continuum For Therapists
Also beginning in April, I have been contracted to teach 20 Continuum sessions to the rehabilitative and psych therapists at McGuire Veterans Hospital in Richmond Va. I'll be offering Continuum as a powerful self-referential resource for therapists working toward healing injured veterans. I feel happy and honored to have this opportunity. I know I will be learning a lot and hope to be of service to these doctors, therapists, and service men and women.

The Fluid Body Dreaming Retreat (see flyer)
Sevenoaks Pathwork Center Ð Madison Virginia - June 22nd Ð 27th
With Ana-Aegi Clothiaux and Cory Blake.
The retreat begins with presentations of open-form movement explorations that range from the subtle to the dynamic and that establish deep pleasurable connection to nature inside and out. Multicultural textiles, art, and artifacts transform the environment into a dreamscape that stimulates the imaginal dreaming psyche processes. As the week progresses, we move, sound, rest, imagine, and play in the spring of communal silence, until finally, saturated in sensation and biological intelligence, we leave knowing, and grateful for, the gift of life that courses through our veins.
Cost = $730. See attached flyer for more information. 32 CEUÕs for body-workers available.
Big Sky Mind/Big Ocean Body - Continuum and Meditation (see flyer)

Engaging in mindful movement that mirrors our living fluid nature elucidates the inner landscape. Through alternating periods of Meditation and Continuum practice, with an emphasis on transition, we will investigate how the polarities of stillness and movement arise from - and inform - each other. Contemplative time for enjoying the James River rapids and park enrich this weekend retreat.

We are offering an experience of the human body as an elegant composite of interpenetrating signals that orchestrates a vast and potent resonant network from cosmos to the primordial deep to our cellular matrix. This knowledge allows us sources of nourishment that have a profound effect on our bodies systems....As our internal sea becomes more viable our mass shifts accordingly. We become buoyant, gravity now an ally rather than a deterrent, our vital energy a surplus rather than a deficit. An abundance of vital energy is now available for the benefit of the organism, for healing, for revitalizing, and a fountain of ongoing health where our tissue remains luxuriant and full. In this there is no stress, no trauma, no fear, only the full bloom of magnificent life.

Filigrees of Movement with Lali Rohonyi
We exist in the context of life in this planet, in accordance with waves and frequencies that flow through the galaxy, and have a lot to learn from the natural structure we know as our body, if we give it a chance to express itself.
Deepening our contact with this intelligence that permeates our wills and thoughts but remains forgotten most of the time gives us new resources to deal with personal issues.
Ongoing classes with Lali Rohonyi
Tuesdays -12:30 to 14:00
Thursdays - 8:00 to 9:30
Saturdays - once a month from 9:30 to 12:30

ALL ABOUT MOVEMENT with LINDA RABIN
September 12-14, 2008
Vienna, Austria
Experience the many ways we are movement, from the inner fluctuations of breath and fluid tissues to their outer manifestation as mutable shapes and forms. Join in the playful spirit of the imagination and attend to yourself with receptivity and an open heart. Experiment with movement in gravity and space, while sounding your tissues in the chorus of the larger group body. We will draw from Continuum breaths, sounds and movements that range from micro to larger gestures. In this workshop movement is our teacher, as we savor our aliveness from moment to moment and bathe in the Òinner dance of lifeÓ.

SUMMER WORKSHOP
BREATH and THE FLUID BODY
with LINDA RABIN (see flyer)
August 22-24, 2008
Brussels, Belgium
Continuum brings to light the primacy of the fluid system. On a cellular level we are an expression of undulation and pulsation, a living network of exchanges, communication and transformation. As we dive into this internal milieu we discover a world of new sensations, where we can experience movement as what we are, not only something we do.
Take the time to slow down, drop in and let unfold what emerges. Explore the movement of breath, the resonance of sound and movement within movement.

July 5th
This four hour workshop, especially designed for women, is offering a creative movement experience. Follow the invitation to leave the Ôevery day bodyÕ with its limitations behind. We open ourselves to return to our intrinsic nature as fluid and sensuous beings through breath, sound and a variety of subtle and vital movement explorations
June 7th The inner diamond - the sensuous pelvis
Co-Trainer Robert Schleip PhD
A day of inspiration around the pelvis and the pelvis floor. Robert will present theoretical information and Divo in depth movement experience to embody the news. The content will cover new information about Ôthe inner unitÕ as well as itÕs applications in a holistic movement approach. Professionals as movement teachers or body therapists are as well invited as curious ÔsomanautsÕ to join the course.
Intensive July 24th - July 27th
Fluid dynamics - liquid beings
During these five day movement Intensive we offer the basic concepts of Continuum and Bodybliss, combined with brand new information of the neurobiology of movement. For example: the exciting discoveries about soft tissue and fascia, the healing effects of sound into the nervous system of our animal nature, and actual insights about the importance of proprioception. Therefore we focus on the embodiment, to experience a Ôbody as motionÕ and on the refinement of the sensuous unfolding into the fluid dynamics of our being.
Depth Retreat with Susan Harper near Munich August 4 - 10th
SusanÕs understanding about biological movement and about the somatic intelligence of the human organism is resonating through all her movement and breath experiments. Her valuable talent to refine our attention into the most subtle internal movements and sensations, opens us to interact with the fluid dynamics of life, and encourages us to stay in touch with the tender strength of our embodied being.
DEEP HEALING RETREAT
With Malcolm Groome
Kloster Gerode, Germany
July 24-28, 2008
These times on our planet are extremely challenging. We need to counteract the stresses and fears that come up, by touching into our bodies and psyches, and lovingly directing them to release the accumulated tensions and blocks that prevent us from experiencing well-being, peace of mind, and alignment with Spirit. During these five days, we will create a safe container that will help us to enter a deeper and deeper state of surrender into the universal healing power that is available to us. Working with the art of Council to share our experiences and feel our connection, we will also call on the tools of guided meditation, Continuum Movement, ecstatic dance, and shamanic journeying.
Kloster Gerode, an old monastery set in the idyllic countryside of central Germany, will provide us with an environment where we can access the vibrations of serenity and deep peace, and open to communication with nature spirits and the healing energies of Nature. As we stand between Heaven and Earth and work with energies of both, we move into a deeper level of beingness and empowerment in our lives.

JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION
With Malcolm Groome
Weg der Mitte
Berlin, Germany
August 1-3, 2008
This workshop is for those who feel that they are going through accelerated transformation at this stage of their evolutionary journey. We will make use of the transformational energies that are available at this time as we move toward the end of the Mayan Calendar within the next four years. These times on our planet are bringing more and more challenges and are requiring us to keep pace with our inner growth.
This workshop will provide techniques for opening to our greater Beingness. We will look at how dualistic thinking has caused us to wall off from this Divine Presence within us. Using techniques of keen self-observation, we will incorporate guided meditation and shamanic journeying to become aware of and release these obstructions to Spirit. We will also work with the subtle micromovements and wave motions of Continuum Movement that enhance surrendering at a deep level, as well as ecstatic dance that can put us in touch with strong healing currents.
As last year, we will work together in a Circle incorporating the ancient art of Council, creating an environment of trust where we can speak and listen from the heart, and a safe cauldron for our transformation.
