The vitality of the individual is in large part determined by the dynamics of his or her fluid system.  Our tissue is mostly water and its well-being is a function of the unblocked and unrestricted grace and flow of the overall fluid system.   In most cases, our everyday survival imperatives result in a compression of tissue.  In order to function, we inadvertently maintain a fixed, often rigid structure that ultimately works against our well-being.  A maladaptive closed system is perpetuated and strengthened as we move away from spontaneity, creativity and evolution.

Using sound, breath, and micro-movement, continuum works to revitalize the fluid system and enliven the tissue.  The creative process is at work, as the individual unleashes the energy held in his or her tissue.  There is a dissolve of “personal paralysis” as restricted, repetitive patterns are altered, allowing for new ways of experiencing the world and being in the world.  Continuum is about change which creates the opportunity for discovery, growth, and healing.
