"The fluid presence in our bodies is our fundamental environment; we are moving water brought to land."
-Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum Movement
We are made up primarily of water. Yet our fluidic nature remains mysterious. Why are we so watery? Why do we experience so much stiffness, stuckness and fatigue? And how can we develop more vitality, flexibility and resilience?
Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum Movement, asked these and similar questions in her almost 50 years of somatic investigation into our fluid bodies. In this special 5-day retreat, we will immerse together into a field we co-create with the breaths, sounds, gentle movement and mindful awareness of Continuum. W e will continue the inquiry Emile initiated into our fluid character and the benefits it has for us.
Together, we will deepen into a communal field of safety and deep listening, where we can discover the health, rejuvenation, creativity and immense potential beyond our patterns and habits. The retreat will include an extended time (2-3 days) in silence, where we can slow down, resting into even subtler listening and movement in resonance with the rhythms of nature, expressed in the embryo, the earth and the cosmos.
