Please read my latest Lovegram on this first night of Chanukah! ~ Megan

Even this late it happens: the coming of love, the coming of light. You wake and the candles are lit as if by themselves, stars gather, dreams pour into your pillows, sending up warm bouquets of air. Even this late the bones of the body shine and tomorrow’s dust flares into breath.

It’s cold outside. The pandemic is getting worse. It’s time to look inward with the help of movement practices that create healthy bodies and minds.

Interested in the role that the body and conscious movement play in health, education and social justice? Me too!

Potent Spaces & Shared Voices ~ Come dwell in possibility this winter!

Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is, to be in the Here and Now, and to be happier in our own skins.

By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us with the support of these weekly Continuum classes.

10/23/2020

As a majority-white profession, does somatics have a "culture"? What elements offer our members a sense of belonging?

I look forward to exploring these questions, which grew out of our practice group of Remaa Menakem's, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Healing our Hearts and Bodies.

If you want to join us but are not an ISMETA member, please contact me and we can talk about easy ways for you to become a member!

"When the soul first put on the body's shirt,

Here is a clear, concise description of Continuum from the lovely Robin Becker. Enjoy (and check out her offerings and ours for opportunities to experience the work directly)! I will be teaching at the Arlington Center this coming Friday (Feb 28) from 7:15 - 9:30 pm.

The contemplative somatic practice of Continuum is based around the understanding that the body is comprised of approximately 70 percent water, which is in constant motion.

01/27/2020

Thank you, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, for your pioneering work in somatics to improve human functioning / well-being! We will play with this concept in Flow Motion this Friday night at the Arlington from Center (7:15-9:30 pm). Join us!

In these turbulent times, it feels essential to balance the fires of transformation with the regenerative qualities of water. There are many ways to bless the healing waters within and without. Continuum is a primary practice for me (Elisabeth) to do just that.

In the spirit of The Water Blessing Project initiated by Watermark Arts, I dedicate my Continuum Flow Motion classes in 2020 to the innovative and healing qualities of water.

Join us in Arlington, MA on Friday, January 31 from 7:15 - 9:30 pm for Flow Motion...

and again with the gifted Bonnie Gintis at Kripalu, February 7 - 9 for a weekend immersion into the "Inner Chambers of the Heart."

I look forward to sharing these potent explorations of fluidity – and many more - with you in 2020!
