Meeting the Challenges of Our Times: A Continuum Class Intensive with Gael Ohlgren
Description: Continuum is a movement and awareness modality for self care and healing. It is based on the knowledge that our organism has a wisdom of its own that resides in a realm that is neither of our culture, gender, and time, nor of the expression of our persona. In order to hear this primordial wisdom we must attend to the body's language of sensation and movement.
The two questions that Continuum poses are: 1) What can I feel if I listen to sensation in more detail? and 2) What movement possibilities do I have beyond the utilitarian and patterned movements of daily survival?
Continuum classes utilize scientific maps, creative imagination, breath, sound, and movement explorations in order to enhance sensation and to stimulate the body's own movement impulses. Our movements tend to seek the shapes and rhythms of nature; the curls, spirals, waves and arcs of wind and water and tempos slower than our electronic and mechanical devices. These spontaneous and unplanned expressions melt the sense of separateness between self and biosphere bringing a stronger resonance with all forms of life.
Sound and movement soothe our nervous system, providing nourishment to all systems. Through this work we are brought to places of profound refuge and grounding, of luxurious sensuousness and adventure, and to points of attentive stillness from which we may set off into deeper meditative and healing spheres.
These self paced and pleasurable explorations can be practiced when without equipment or specific health and fitness requirements.The purpose of a class intensive is to build a momentum over these four days as well as finding the integration of this practice into everyday routines.
