"Continuum is a revolutionary movement practice"
What is Continuum?
Continuum is an exploration into breath, sound and the watery, fluid nature of your body. Engaging non-patterned movement coupled with the vibrations of sound and breath you explore and awaken your bio-intelligence. You let go of the ways you define your body and what it can do, and open to the mystery of life that vibrates inside of you.
Water is a key element to our well being as all metabolic exchanges in the body happen through water. The vibrating resonances of sound and breath enliven and stimulate the waters that bathe your internal landscape. Your curiosity, attention to felt sensation, and permission for what arises acts as a guide to a rich world of movement. Continuum inspires creativity in your thinking and enlivens your body.
Benefits of Continuum
- Expands your movement and sensation vocabulary, increasing somatic resources
- Heightens your ability to be receptive and resilient in this fast changing world
- Develops core strength and flexibility, revitalizing bones and joints, increasing
nourishment on all levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
- Awakens creativity, innovation and play
- Facilitates trust in your inherent body wisdom, expanding your capacity for presence,
emotional healing and communication
- Deepens your spiritual connection including your fundamental connection to life and
the natural world
- Releases, relaxes and realigns, as in receiving body work
- Provides a nurturing environment for growth and renewal
Private Sessions and Mentoring
In private sessions we begin with a dialogue to tease out what is being asked for. Inside your body
resides a magnificent intelligence with all the information you need to guide you. We work together listening to the language of words, and also to the language of your body through movement and sensations. Sometimes Continuum breaths or movements are helpful as a way to enter or you may have a dream or story that begins the session. Being witnessed, seen, heard, with reflection back
is a powerful experience. Whether we delve in the emotional, physical or spiritual realms, your
internal wisdom will guide us, and shine a light on what is asking to be seen.
Mentoring is the art of giving and receiving, in relationship.
Mentoring sessions can be helpful if you have questions about your personal journey. Sometimes our head says one thing, our heart another and our visceral body yet another. Each has a voice and when we make space for each to have their unique expression the unexpected can emerge and offer something we couldn’t have known before.
Mentoring sessions can also be helpful if you are exploring a path that involves facilitating groups, teaching, or having a one on one practice. The way we shape our attention has an effect on the person or situation we are engaged with. Knowing how you find your way, in your felt sense body, your emotions and cognitively, when chaos in whatever form is pulling focus, is crucial as a holder
of space for others.
Private sessions and Mentoring are sliding scale, $150 to $200 for 1.5 hours, if finances are
an issue please call.

"I began teaching Continuum in 1994 and was authorized by Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper in 1998 to lead workshops in Europe and North America. I have also trained extensively in Susan Harper’s Continuum Montage work. These practices as well as 50+ years of exploring many somatic modalities all inform my workshops, classes, and private sessions. Creating an environment wherein participants have the opportunity and permission to explore new territory is key to my facilitation. I bring patience, and an invitation to creative play with movement in all its forms. I have been teaching, working with individual clients, groups and couples since 1972, when I began work as a rural midwife. My work as a midwife continues, no longer with babies, rather with the process of becoming fully embodied."

My policy regarding payment - Times are changing, the cost of food and housing is increasing and income is not keeping up in some sectors. There are some for whom this work is a life line and there are no extra funds to participate. I insure the ability for all to access these Continuum classes regardless of ability to pay, to support well being and healing. In that light I offer these classes as pay what you can. I also value my time and and need to make a living so if you have it within your means to be generous and support ones who cannot pay, I invite you to do so. My rate is $20 - $40 per class. Thank you for your generosity.
Some Continuum experience is required to attend classes.

CONTINUUM AND NATURE CONNECTION
Black River, Farm, River House & Wilderness is 330 acres with 2 kilometres of the pristine Black River running through the property. This Wilderness has a fresh Water Springs in the middle of Cedar Forest, open fields and forest with White Pine and Maple Elders, beautiful Canadian shield cliffs and a meeting of enormous ancient stones we call Turtle and the Grandfathers. An invitation for you to retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, let go of any expectations and give yourself permission to just be. Permission is the most important aspect of this retreat. Permission to rest into Land, River, and Wilderness between Continuum sessions, and permission to move at your own pace. I will offer Continuum Dives to enliven your awareness of sensation, and to open experiences of Nature inside and outside of you as one resonant whole. There will be time to move, to write, and to draw, prompted by the questions that arise from our time with nature, or questions that come from within, that have been waiting for you to pause long enough to consider them. Come to Black River, Farm, River House and Wilderness and be surprised by what you might find when you give permission for your senses to become enlivened, and your curiosity to play with the myriad Beings we call Nature. If you would like to book a private retreat please email me at kimbrodey@bell.net Up coming retreats for winter of 2025 TBA stay tuned. |
