Recent & Upcoming Events
In this five-week series, we explore the cultivation of presence in stillness and movement. Through the integration of Continuum Movement and mindfulness meditation practices, we explore: How does stillness support fluid movement? How does fluid movement help us settle into stillness?
Continuum invites us into the body’s subtle intelligence through breath, sound, and intuitive movement. Mindfulness helps us relate to inner experience—thoughts, emotions, and sensations—with clarity and compassion. We will explore how integrating these practices supports the cultivation of presence that is rooted and adaptable, steady and responsive.
Each session offers guided practices that invite you to attune more deeply to sensation, develop a more fluid relationship with thoughts and emotions, and connect with the body’s intelligence. For meditators, this series offers an intuitive entry into somatic movement. For movers, it offers practices to skillfully meet the mind as it arises during movement. All levels of experience are welcome!

Continuum Movement (CM) is a somatic practice that combines breath, vocalization (sounding), and intuitive movement to tap into the fluid nature of the body. The demands of modern life can disrupt one's connection to the body’s intelligence—particularly its capacity for fluidity, responsiveness, and radical presence. Continuum offers gentle explorations that restore and nurture this relationship by centering pleasure, curiosity, and internal guidance through intuitive movement.
In this introductory three-hour workshop, we will explore the core practices and philosophy of Continuum through embodied conversation and movement. After grounding in the essential elements of Continuum—breath, sound, sensation, movement, and innovation—the workshop will include time for two movement explorations (or what we call “dives” in Continuum), as well as time for questions, sharing, and connection with other participants.
