Continuum is a unique inquiry into our capacity to innovate and participate in the essential, generative, and biological movement processes of life.

This professional training will integrate Continuum theory and practices into trauma therapy. We will explore movement in an experiential group practice and as a dyadic therapy application.

Continuum practitioners will learn how to offer trauma resolution opportunities that safely ground the client. Therapists will learn how to offer elegant subtle movement practices to aid their clients through stuck trauma responses.

We will learn the language of life with micromovements, subtle wave motion, primordial breathing, and sound streams. The explorations are guided by a philosophy of respect for innate organismic intelligence, which guides healing and creativity.

We invite psychotherapists, trauma therapists, movement professionals, coaches, mental health professionals, and bodyworkers into this journey of weaving continuum principles into the process of healing.

In small group explorations, we develop the witnessing and resonance skills needed to attend to our unique sensory experience and the inner workings of how we perceive. Spacious resourced movements can support us in titrating difficult sensations arising from undigested traumas. Skills to feel, identify, process, and communicate our sensations, needs, and emotions are developed.

This training provides exercises and skills in developing:

  • Somatic Resources: Connection to Organismic Intelligence, Breath, Capacity for Grounding, and Open Perceptual and Sensory Channels
  • Embodied Presence and Resonance: with others and the natural world
  • Trauma Resolution: through the fluid engagement of the soma and psyche, trauma techniques that are tailored for movement interventions 
  • Intrapersonal Dialogue: exploring your inner cognitive and somatic experiences
  • Interpersonal Relating: self and other, dyadic toolkit
