With bare attention of
awareness, and wilderness as our teacher, we discover the wild nature of our bodies in the body of wild Nature.

On the hikes we will introduce participants to increasingly refined perceptual practices to enhance sensitivity to
all that wilderness can offer, and to reawaken the elements of wilderness within.

With awakened senses
we receive nature's richness and beauty, inspiring our movement and creativity.

Enter wilderness
inside and out
expect metamorphosis.

Continuum is a unique
movement practice, an inquiry into our capacity to innovate, and participate with the
essential movement
processes of life.

Integrating day-hiking in the magnificent Big Sur backcountry with the subtle internal explorations of Continuum movement, this workshop combines and weaves together these two practices.

WHAT WE WILL DO
We will venture out on hikes 1-6 miles in length. Simple practices that encourage awareness and
contemplation will be shared with the group, as well as the wonders of the rich natural history of Big Sur.

During indoor sessions we explore organismic movements and sounding, to open a dynamic inquiry;
rotating between inner investigation, and the flow of unfolding creative expression.

We will explore movements that express and embody what we have taken in during the hikes, which enlivens our ability to feel what we directly experience in Nature.

We explore the intelligent dynamics of the elements—water, air, fire, earth, and space—in our bodies;
deepening our inherent connection to our wild breathing planetary body.

Co-leaders Steven and Susan are a brother-and-sister team who have taught this ever-evolving program annually for over 25 years.
