There are two moments in the year when the sun is directly above the Equator and the number of hours of day equals the number of hours of night. These are called the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes. In the northern hemisphere, the Autumnal Equinox will occur on September 22 at 8:44 am ET. It can be a challenge in our busy lives to stop and notice these quiet moments of perfect balance between the two Solstices.

Was ist Continuum?

Continuum is an embodied awareness practice that first engages the body with simple breaths that become vocalized sounds that stimulates subtle, spontaneous biological movement responses in the interconnected web of our body, the fascia. These movements spark creative sensory imagery and hone our reflective, meditative awareness. This increases the fluidity of our bodies and the adaptability of our minds. In moments we can begin to recover and restore sensation and awareness that gets flattened and lost in the speed of modern life. As our tissues become less dense (more spacious), we begin to relocate ourselves in the interconnected web of life on this planet. This immediately makes us more resilient by increasing our vitality, adaptability, and immunity as earthlings.

Longer class times promote increased awareness

The longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for participants to deeply explore what it means to inhabit and embody a human body-mind. To do this, we must slow down enough to loosen the skins of our cultural anatomy and look beyond fear, and without shame holding us back from embracing our truest Selves. We must return to Source - to our most fluid selves and cells - to tap into the incredible universal intelligence that lies within and vividly reconnects us to all of Life on this planet. Humans are extensions of a planetary process. Continuum is a path to an awakened consciousness that develops from exploring that process.

As the cultural body moves faster and faster, it becomes more urgent that we pause and attune ourselves with any moment of quiet and balance that life offers us.
