The Cosmic Body- Class Description

This Continuum Movement workshop explores the body as a fluid system resonating within the context of our environment and galaxy. By slowing down and working with the archetypal movements of water and air, we access formative processes responsible for life. With reverence, we rediscover our ancient relationship to all living systems.

"What is here spread out over a large space, animal and man have within themselves. What in the plant world is spread in circulation over the face of the whole earth is in them enclosed in a small space, where it moves according to the same rhythms and according to the same laws as does the water outside them in nature."                                                                                             Theodor Schwenk, Sensitive Chaos

By experiencing somatically, formative processes (like suctional inflow and welling outflow) we open up new movement opportunities within our organism.  Layering movement from this awareness creates aliveness in our breath, cells, tissue, bones, and fluid system with opportunity for reverently experiencing our cosmic organismic embodiment.  

Twentieth century concepts view the body as a machine, this originated in the industrial revolution. Our bodies do not resemble machines, nor do they resemble computers. We are complex fluid resonate organisms.

"The fluid system is resonant with no time and space differential. It goes beyond the boundary of the body. It functions in the body but is not confined to it. [Human beings] are in a phase shift in terms of our own body development. ...we have the capacity to resonate or not. We are two wet bodies meeting, we're communicating far beyond the world or words; we are a bio resonance which has phenomenal effects on us as human beings. [It is] a basic primal connection which is unifying, totally unifying. We are always longing for this connection. Organismic recognition that we are spiraled water and we come in like that as embryos, their is a re-cog-nition that takes place and 90 % of people coming into Continuum will say, I've Come Home." Emilie Conrad
