Soul of Continuum 2.0
Apprenticeship Program
“When you want to know something, you become like it in every way”. ~ Emilie Conrad
DESCRIPTION
The organism is context created and context related. Placing ourselves in the context of apprenticeship, we can begin to let the mystery, the sorcery, if you will, of the biological, fluid reality of our inherent capacity as living systems become the true teacher and the authentic path to follow.
It is in this tradition we are offering, an in-depth apprenticeship for those wanting to deepen the work in their own bodies and lives with a desire to be of service to the world and assist in changing the human landscape towards a more fluid and inclusive way of moving and being.
Apprenticeship in the way of the ancient traditions allowed us to fine tune and immerse ourselves in the fluid medium of Continuum. The essence of apprenticeship was summed up in Emilie’s instruction: “When you want to know something, you become like it in every way” to such an extent that the alchemical process of turning a lump of clay into a transmitting substance was refined again and again. After a combined experience of over 50 years of intensive fluid movement immersion with Emilie we began our collaboration into the Soul of Continuum in 2015 a year after her death.
Going Further…
As in the modern world stamps of approval are sometimes necessary, if you are interested in certifications, accumulating hours and becoming part of the Continuum Teachers Association, a world-wide collective of teachers who have apprenticed with Emilie Conrad, we can support you in this process.
If you simply would like to go deeper into the well of your own personal practice and refine your understanding and live in a moment-to moment fluid Continuum – let’s spend time together.

What others are saying:
“I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have found you and Continuum. These past 6 months through the mentorship with you have been such a fluid blessing in so many
ways. A time filled with love, exploration, inspiration, gracious guidance and support and wisdom of the teachings of Continuum and the guidance to help me share this beautiful fluid practice. Thank you for all your love and support during my “time of awakening”. So grateful to have your guidance on assisting my body through the process.”— T. SAMPSON, JOHNSON CITY, TN
“This apprenticeship program has opened a door I have longed for for many years. By joining you and the others I’ve devoted myself to a practice I only dreamt of up until now. It took you, and my dedication to the program, to shift me from longing into belonging. I am now one of the many Continuum practitioner around the world living this dream.”

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Our journey consists of:
An initial online gathering with all three guides prior to the first phase with Beth (price not included in the tuition).
Monthly meetings ONLINE for 12 months.
Deepening of basic principles, philosophy and vision of Continuum.
Focusing on developing an intimacy with the ways Continuum approaches breath, sound and movement.
Guidelines to develop your personal inquiry, following sensation as a guide and as an entry point to the fluid dynamics of life itself.
Each month will include a deep exploration of the material presented.
Developing the ability to language your experience when sharing and expressing your discoveries.
COURSE PREREQUISITE:
Establishing a regular Continuum practice is vital for understanding the work itself prior to apprenticing. To assist you in this endeavor, you will need to complete the following course before the apprenticeship starts in January. Contact beth@themovingwell if you have questions.
A Moving Inquiry: the Art of Personal Practice
$100 tuition credit will be applied to your phase 1 payment once this course is completed.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
In the tradition of apprenticing, a substantial immersion in the work is recommended. When each of us apprenticed with Emilie, it was never a measurement of hours compiled, but rather, a mutually understood readiness for the student to enter into a transformational process in community. This is only possible with personal transmissions from person to person.
You are welcome to email us at any time to arrange additional support via phone or online via zoom.
A NOTE ON SCOPE OF PRACTICE
This is not a therapeutic environment, although healing is bound to occur in this context.
If you have specific issues related to your well-being you would like to have addressed, we can schedule an individual Continuum session and establish a protocol to approach the issue through the lens of a biologically based movement practice.

“The Soul of Continuum Apprenticeship was a nurturing, safe and intimate space to explore somatic and fluid movement. It was refreshing to share time monthly with other apprentices with similar interests... to drop into a different language and practice than what’s required of us in our day-to-day lives. The guidance was illuminating, grounding and encouraging. The richness of knowledge that comes from learning different sounds, movements and anatomies is invaluable, and the opportunity to spread this work to others is an important form of activism. I highly recommend this apprenticeship to anyone looking to dive deeper into themselves, to explore their own fluidity, and to develop the resilience needed to tap into these parts of ourselves when we’re under the pressure and demands of everyday life.”
