Discovering Continuum: I was first introduced to it in 1988 from Paul Langland in Amsterdam Holland.

First Teacher: My first experience of Continuum was in Amsterdam at the dance school in 1988. Then, one day in class with Carol Bernstein in Israel. In 2008, I was invited to the SomaFest in Los Angeles by Rima and I met Emilie Conrad.

Subsequent teachers: I studied with Emilie in Los Angeles, Israel and Belgium. In Israel I have also attended workshops with Marcella Bottero, Linda Rabin and Carol Bernstein. In Los Angeles I have also learned from Teri Carter.

Contributions:

• I invited Emilie to Israel for the first time, she came back for three consecutive years. 
• I started a practice group in Israel that I ran for 2 years. 
• I invited Marcella to teach workshops in Israel. 
• In 2012, I became a Continuum teacher  and have been teaching regular workshops in Israel (5-7 a year).
• I invited Volker Moriz to co-teach a 6 days dive with me February 2016.
• I am doing my best to include the world wide teachers community with dives and continuum events in Israel; both the dives that I do personally and in group events.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum in 1978 while in graduate school at Stanford University, from Chloe Scott (who just happened to be my first dance teacher when I was five years old!). I performed with her little dance company called I Dymaxion moving company. Chloe said “Shall we go on a field trip and see a woman who moves like water?”!

First Teacher: Emilie Conrad was my first teacher, she and Susan Harper were teaching at the workshop that Chloe took me to. It was at Lone Mountain College in San Francisco (now USF.). Gary David and Steve Harper were playing live music and there were projections of mandalas all over the far wall as I walked in. After that I saw Emilie in Santa Monica, at Esalen, in New York, Boston, Washington DC, at Mount Madonna and Stillheart.

Subsequent teachers: I studied with Susan Harper in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz, Fairfax and Santa Monica. I studied with Vicky Eskin in Palo Alto.

Contributions:

• Since Emilie asked me to begin teaching in 1986, I have constantly taught classes and workshops with the intention of sending students to experience both Emilie Conrad’s and Susan Harper’s teachings. 
• I traveled alongside Emilie to New York for eight years.
• In the 80’s and 90’s I brought Emilie to Mount Madonna to teach workshops there.
• I supported Susan Harper to come to Santa Cruz and teach for many years at the Subud Center. She still teaches there to this day.
• Since Emily’s death in 2014, I have been working with the Continuum Advisory Council remnants (based on Emile’s earlier wishes) to try to navigate Continuum into the future as a whole organization.
• I also have been serving on the ISMETA board (now VP) to see that Continuum is part of every somatic movement initiative.
• For the past eight years I have been teaching in high schools in “physical education departments” helping teenagers discover their bodies.

Most the past nearly 40 years have been devoted to Continuum as a path of awakening on a spiritual level. When I met Emily I had already been initiated by my guru, Baba Hari Dass. I found that the Continuum processes took me beyond the place of awareness that I had felt with yoga. When I was 17, I saw an Alan Watts movie called “Buddhism, Man and Naure”. It was about life being like a stream traveling through many currents. It was a preview of Continuum. I was able to provide an opening with Yoga Journal to get an article written about Emile in the late 80’s. She landed on the cover!!! I just returned from a week long continuous movement immersion at Omega Institute in New York with 19 other teachers. There were 71 people there and all got a taste of the purity of continuum’s gift. What an honor!

Discovering Continuum: I had been coming across materials about Continuum for years, but finally in 2000 I got to experience a workshop when Emilie Conrad was teaching at Omega and I went to her 5 day program there. 

First Teacher: I attended a Continuum retreat in 2000 with Emilie Conrad at Omega in Rhinebeck NY.

Subsequent teachers: I have studied with Mary Abrams and Susan Harper.

Contributions:

• By teaching this work, I am spreading it to as many people as I can. 
• I worked with the veterans at the VA hospital in East Orange, NJ, at first with Emilie and then on my own starting in 2005-2006. 
• I feel that my presence in doing continuum in being a “carrier” of this work has made many contributions in the other things I teach; yoga, art/life process and dance/movement classes.
• I have a 500 hour apprenticeship program in soma yoga which Continuum has deeply influenced.
• I have a bodywork practice and use protocols for clients with wonderful results.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum from a few different people, including Connie Jacobs and Barbra Mindell.

First Teacher: My first teacher was Barbara Mindell starting in 2001.

Subsequent teachers: I studied with Emilie from 2001 till her passing. Along the way I also worked with Susan Harper, Cass Phelps, Marcella Bottero, Robert Litman, Don St. John and Beth Pettigrew

Contributions: I ran Practice Groups in the Continuum Studio for many years when Emilie was travelling. I gave two or 3 workshops a year with Marcella Bottero after she became authorized. I became an authorized teacher myself before Emilie died and now teach 4 6-week series a year in the Santa Monica Studio. My interest is the blend of Continuum, spirituality and ritual. In my series we have been exploring and extending Emilie’s teachings on cosmic anatomy and sacred reality.

Discovering Continuum: In 1976 I was living in Los Angeles and heard about Continuum from Brugh Joy; it piqued my interest, but seven years went by before I took my first workshop

First Teacher: I attended two Susan Harper workshops in San Francisco, 1983.

Subsequent teachers: I started studying with Emilie Conrad in 1983; then I saw her almost every year from 1996 until 2013. I took a weekend workshop from Gail Olgren in 2002 and one from Robert Litman in 2005.

Contributions: 

• I wrote a chapter on Continuum in my book “Healing the Wounds of Childhood”.
• In the late 1990’s I introduced Continuum in my Hellerwork trainings.
• I have taught several Continuum workshops and classes.
• Emilie and I I co-taught 4 workshops together.

Discovering Continuum: I first read about Continuum in a Yoga Journal Article in 1987.

First Teacher: I attended a retreat at Mt Madonna with Emilie and Susan in 1989.

Subsequent teachers: I studied with Emilie and Susan from 1989 onward at Mount Madonna, Holy Spirit Retreat Center and then in Vancouver when I sponsored them to come here. I also brought Barbara Mindell to Vancouver to teach her Continuum & Art about 4 times in 1990’s.

Contributions: I brought Emilie, Susan and Barbara to my community in Vancouver to introduce Continuum and also began to teach Continuum in the 90’s, even before teachers were officially authorized in 2000. I have continued to teach since both in Vancouver and other areas of British Columbia.

Discovering Continuum: In 1993 Judi Bachrach was the first person to tell me about Continuum.

First Teacher: I met my first Continuum teacher Judi Bachrach in Bearsville, NY, in 1993.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum from a close friend of mine who had been to Australia and taken a workshop with Robert Litman at the Body Mind Harmony conference in 1998.

First Teacher: Robert Litman was my first Continuum teacher, I met him in the UK around 1998-9. I went to every workshop that Robert Litman taught in the UK and after a few years began organizing events for him in London. 

Subsequent teachers:  Robert recommended after a few years that I travel to the US and meet Emilie Conrad. I first met Emilie at a workshop she was teaching with Bonnie Ginntis in the Studio in Santa Monica around 2001. I also went up to Mount Madonna to take a summer retreat with Emilie and Susan Harper this same time. I continued to travel to the US about 5 times a year and take workshops, intensives and retreats with Emilie Conrad. I took the first Wellsprings training with Robert Litman and Emilie, and then went on to the advanced Wellsprings program. After I was authorized as a teacher, I continued to travel to the US annually or bi-annually to teachers meetings and workshops with Emilie. I have taken several workshops with Susan Harper and I have also attended a few classes with Mary Abrams in New York.

Contributions:

• I organized events for Robert Litman in the UK for several years.
• After taking some workshops with Emilie, Robert and she said I could facilitate a practice group in the UK with the participants who had attended Robert’s UK workshops. 
• I became a teacher in 2007 and since then I have run Continuum movement workshops in the UK, at least once a month in London, to build the UK community.
• I have traveled throughout the UK and taught Continuum in Scotland, Wales, North of England and West of England.
• I offer individual sessions weekly in Continuum and Wellsprings.
• In 2013 at a teachers meeting I connected with other European teachers and we set up annual meetings in Europe.
• More recently I have co-taught with Gael Rosewood in the UK and I continue to organize or co-teach with other Continuum teachers.

Continuum has become a part of me and is the ground of which I base my life practice and way of moving in the world. Even when I am teaching other Somatic Movement practices, it is clear that the foundations of my work is in Continuum.

Discovering Continuum: In August of 1996 a friend asked me to go to a weekend workshop with her – and that workshop changed my life because it was with Emilie and Continuum! I was immediately hooked and began studying with Emilie and Susan. 

First Teacher: My first teacher was Emilie from when I met her in Seattle in August 1996.

Subsequent teachers: I have attended multiple classes with both Susan Harper and Robert Litman.

Contributions: As soon as I took my first class with Emilie I began using Continuum in my physical therapy practice. For the last 20 years I have honed the art of bringing Continuum movement, breath, and ideas into the lives of my clients. I also teach various somatic classes which incorporate Continuum.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum in 2000-2001 from people in 5-rhytms dance. My decision to check it out came after reading Bellruth Naparstek’s book “The 6th Sense” where she includes Emilie as one of the psychics interviewed. 

First Teacher: My very first teacher was Barbara Mindell.

Subsequent teachers: Besides Emilie Conrad and Barbara Mindell, I wanted to experience as many teachers’ own teachings as possible. I attended Sharon Weil and Cass Phelps‘s classes. In the Continuum studio I have attended many workshops with Susan Harper (with great appreciation!), Bonnie Gintis, Robert Litman and Carol Burstein. Later I have enjoyed learning from my peers when ever possible; Jane Okondo, Amber Gray, Don St.John, Marcella Bottero and Debra Franco pop into my mind first. This year, I whole-heartedly greeted Emma Destraubé‘s classes in studio.

It is my experience that each teacher brings with them their own unique experience and being into the work. Some might be a better fit for me personally than others, yet I do appreciate everybody’s work (that I have experienced so far).

Contributions: After being an authorized teacher for few years, it dawned to me that I need to “live” Continuum instead of “doing” or “teaching” Continuum. I am always carrying Continuum with me, both in my personal and professional practice. When I am with my patients I try to look at them through a “Continuum lense” – seeing their bodies and breath and wondering how their psychological/relational patterns might be connected to that. I also teach Continuum on a small scale in Estonia – this seems to move in waves: some years there is a demand for Continuum and other years I have held classes for only a few close friends.

Discovering Continuum: In 1978, my friend Joan Ward told me about Continuum.

First Teacher: My first teachings were from Susan Harper and Emilie Conrad during a 6 day intensive in San Francisco in 1979.

Subsequent teachers: Susan and Emilie from 1979 on.

Contributions:

• I taught Continuum inspired classes in the 1980s and 90s and became an authorized teacher in 2000.
• I co-led Dance the River trips with Susan Harper in the 1980s.
• I led two Continuum inspired treks in India and Nepal in the 1980s.
• I wrote a Continuum inspired article, “Birth”, for the book “Being Bodies”, 1995.
• I teach mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area and now also in western Austria.
• I continue to evolve “Words and Waves” with Rebecca Mark, since 2014.
• I also work individually with people. I am especially inspired by Continuum in my work with trauma survivors.
• Along with Giorgia Milne, I teach “Stillness and Waves”, a workshop arising from the union of Continuum and Biodynamic Touch.
• I am not bound by any “form” of Continuum. I regularly teach Continuum inspired vignettes in other workshops, such as “Trauma, Inquiry, and Essence” and “DARe” attachment workshops.
• I also teach Continuum based movement as part of “Planting Resiliency” workshops for homeless people and aid workers in San Francisco.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about continuum from my Body-Mind Centering teachers and colleagues during my BMC practitioner training program, between 1995 and 1998

First Teacher: I met Emilie Conrad for the first time in Toronto in June 1998.

Subsequent teachers: Starting in 1999 I studied with Susan Harper in a variety of places. I also took single workshops with the following people who co-taught with Emilie Conrad; Robert Litman, Bonnie Gintis, Rich Goldstein, Don van Vleet.

Contributions:

• I brought Emilie Conrad to Montreal in 2007 and 2008.
• In 2001 I became an authorized teacher of Continuum.
• I have contributed by teaching consistently in Montreal through weekly and monthly classes, annual intensives, additional sporadic intensives.
• I have introduced Continuum to new communities: I have taught in Canada, including Quebec City, Regina Saskatchewan, occasionally in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Vancouver, B.C.
• I brought Continuum to many Canadian dance companies, professional training programs, university dance departments and to individual creative and performing artists in Quebec.
• I had an article on Continuum printed in a Canadian dance magazine.
• I also introduced Continuum in several cities and countries in Europe; especially France and Vienna; occasionally in Israel; and to dance communities in Poland, Japan and Korea.
• I am a behind-the-scenes support cum consultant for various events, projects and planning led by other members of our community.
• I am “sous-chefing” a potential Anthology of articles written by Continuum teachers about Continuum.

I care about strengthening our immediate field by attending teacher gatherings organized on the east coast or west coast; by having regular and irregular communication by phone or skype with individual teachers, sharing experiences, reflections, questions about the practice and teaching of Continuum. For example, Elaine Colandrea and I support each other constantly with conversations about the above. I have been/am a member of “the membrane” that facilitated skype communication between members of the teaching community after Emilie’s passing. 

Discovering Continuum: I heard about Continuum when I joined Camille Maurine’s Moving Theater in 2000. Camille and nearly everyone else in the company had done Continuum, and it was incorporated into their movement and improvisational work. We rehearsed and performed in the Mothership; the Continuum Studio in Santa Monica.

First Teacher: One day in rehearsal, Outi Harma mentioned that she had had a deep experience in Cass Phelps’s class at the Continuum Studio. I started studying with him there in 2003.

Subsequent teachers: In 2004, I began studying with Emilie Conrad and studied closely with her until her passing in 2014. Over the years, I have taken classes or workshops with Susan Harper (starting with a Depths retreat she co-taught with Emilie), Teri Carter, and Marcella Bottero. Beyond those five, I have also taken classes or workshops with T’mimah Ickovits, Caryn Heilman, Satya Kirsch, Debra Franco, Daphne Georghiou, Gabriel Orshan, and Emma Destrubé.

Contributions: I studied and dove in the Field of the Mothership starting in 2000 in Camille Maurine’s Moving Theater, and then in classes with Cass and Emilie. In 2006 Emilie allowed me to start sharing Continuum work when I taught a shamanic workshop in Berlin, Germany. She authorized me as a teacher in 2008. I taught throughout Germany from 2006 to 2010, and sent many of my students to other Continuum teachers there. I also taught in the main Continuum Studio from 2008 to 2015, and in Topanga, California in 2014 and 2015. My participation in numerous teachers’ gatherings over the years also was part of my contribution to the Field of Continuum. Every time I move or meditate, I experience and interact with the larger web of the Field.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum in 1992-1993 from Cynthia Babat.

First Teacher: I first met Emilie Conrad Da’oud in New York City, 1994

Subsequent teachers:

• Susan Harper 
• Robert Litman
• Gary David

Contributions: 

• In 1966 I started a practice group in NYC and also began teaching my first class and seeing clients that year.
• I sponsored Emilie, Susan, Gary, Robert, Barbara Mindell, and Kevin Smith to teach workshops in NYC from 2000-2015.
• I have taught weekly classes, private sessions, and workshops in NYC and other parts of the country for 20 years. My teachings has spread to TX, VT, PA, upstate NY, IL, IA, Berlin, Germany, and northern England.
• Since 1999 I have run Moving Body Resources, which has held a space for Continuum and Continuum-inspired classes/workshops in New York City.
• In 2014 I sponsored the one and only Continuum Festival NYC in which 8 Continuum teachers taught.
• Continuum Movement Arts offered events.
• I have written several articles describing Continuum and my MA thesis includes Continuum as an example of Somatic Movement practice in the question of consciousness.
• I have published an article on Continuum & Affect theory in the US Body Psychotherapy Association journal.

Discovering Continuum: In 1980, I was at the Dance Therapy Graduate Program at NYU, my Professor was working with Valerie Hunt and told us about Emilie and the studies that she and Valerie were doing. The next time I heard about Continuum was in 1999 in North Carolina, Mary Abrams and Kim Brodey were coming to teach workshops.

First Teacher: Kim Brodey was my first teacher in NC early 2000. She was hosted by Laura Lawton, a rolfer in the community. Kim came twice a year and she encouraged me to learn from Susan and Emilie.

Subsequent teachers: My subsequent teachers were Susan Harper (starting in 2002), followed by Emilie Conrad (in 2003), and Mary Abrams (2004).

Contributions: 

• I teach 3 Continuum classes a week at my studio.
• I teach workshop in NC, SC, VA, Canada regularly.
• I offer trainings and immersions to body-workers and dancers.
• I host Susan Harper 3 times a year in NC, building the community.
• I hosted Emilie Conrad for 5 years in NC, building the community.
• I continue to explore, grow and share Continuum, it is my practice and inquiry into how to live life. 

Discovering Continuum: In 1993 I saw a flier in Tucson, AZ for Emilie’s 3-day workshop in Albuquerque NM and went on to attend this workshop.

First Teacher: My first teacher was Emilie Conrad.

Subsequent teachers: I have studies with Susan Harper 1995-2016 and various other Continuum teachers since 1993 to present.

Contributions: I collaborated with Emilie for 18 years (since 1996). During my collaborative years with Emilie, we created The Body in Question series and the Wellsprings Program and held many workshops. I have been teaching workshops and classes around the world since 1999.

Discovering Continuum: In response to an injury I incurred while using rollers skates, I first heard about Continuum in 1987 or 1988, twice in one week. I had fallen on my tailbone and sprained the ligaments around my tailbone prompting my sister, Randy Weil, and another friend who lived in NY (and had just worked with Emilie) to recommended I try Continuum because of the micro movements.

First Teacher: Susan Harper was my first Continuum teacher. I joined her weekly class in Santa Monica to address this injury around my tailbone, and was fascinated by the principles and movements of the work. This was around 1987-88

Subsequent teachers: Within a year of working with Susan, I began taking weekend workshops with Emilie in Los Angeles and was absolutely enchanted by the work and her ability to speak about it. I had been a psycho biology major in college and a dancer (though I became a filmmaker) and this work was a different expression of those fields I loved.  

The list of teachers I have worked with:

• Emilie Conrad, Los Angeles – 1988 – her passing
• Susan Harper, Los Angeles – 1988 – present
• Robert Litman, Los Angeles – when he presented at various teacher meetings, and I also studied Buteyko with him and have co-taught with him.
• Bonnie Gintis, Los Angeles – when she presented at various teacher meetings.
• Rebecca Mark, Los Angeles – Words and Waves 2015 – present

Contributions:

• Since its inception, I have greatly contributed to the development of Jungle Gym. I worked with Emilie on a manual for the Jungle Gym. We never completed it (I still have the notes and the tapes)
• I have taught the use of explore boards, flight plan & web at many depths retreats and teacher meetings.
• I developed The Ageless Body®: fluid strength for aging bodies.
• Barbara and I were the first two teachers to teach at the studio other than Susan and Emilie.
• I have assisted in training several Continuum teachers.
• With Emilie I wrote many pieces about Continuum: once Susan started her own business I co-wrote the text for all Continuum brochures and until recently I co-wrote the text that was used on the website.
• I have conducted several taped interview with Emilie.
• I helped run the studio for several years on a volunteer basis.
• For many years I have held a leadership/organizing role with the teachers and the studio, facilitating communication, strategies, and gatherings.
• I was a close friend and adviser to Emilie; I had her ear.

Discovering Continuum: I first heard about Continuum from Gael Rosewood (formerly Ohlgren), it was in 1988. I was doing my rolfing training in Boulder Colorado, and she was the assistant in the class. I could not get it out of my mind, and followed all information in the Rolf Lines about Continuum. I knew one day I would learn it, it took me 10 years!

First Teacher: My first teacher was Susan Harper, she was co-teaching with Hubert Godard in Berlin, during an annual rolfing meeting I attended. Must have been in October 1997 or -98. I went there with two rolfing colleagues; Jeanne Jensen and Martine Longum. 

Subsequent teachers:

• Kim Brodey, Norway late 90´s and early 2000
• Emilie Conrad, late 90´s in Germany, outside München (first time)
• Bonnie Gintis in Santa Monica, early 2000.
  

Contributions:

• I have brought Continuum to Norway. Kim Brodey had already taught in Norway, so I kept on bringing her here.
• I have collaborated with my Nordic colleagues Jeanne Jensen and Tuula Niemela, in expanding the teachings of Continuum in this part of the world.
• I brought Emilie to Norway and Denmark several times, working together with Jeanne Jensen to accomplish this.
• Since 1998 I have traveled to the US once or twice a year to get updated and learn more.
• Four years ago we started having teachers meetings here in Europe.
• Three years ago Volker Moritz and I was inspired to start inviting to 9-day Dark retreats here in Europe.

Discovering Continuum: In 1978 I was teaching at Center for Creative Movement in Santa Cruz and a student (who is still a participant in my classes) invited two women friends from Continuum Los Angeles to give a workshop (I believe their names were “Patricia S” and a Vicki”). I fell in love with the work and several of us formed a group that met weekly on and off for couple of years exploring the sounds breaths and wave motion that had been handed down in that workshop. 

First Teacher: The first teachers I had were the above un-named Patricia S/ Vicki? Continuum bearers in Santa Cruz.

Subsequent teachers: 

• Starting in 1980 I have studied with both Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper on numerous occasions.
• I participated in Embryogenesis with Conny Obermeier and Susan in Santa Cruz 1996.
• From the 1990’s to 2013 I joined Robert Litman and Emilie, several times for Body in Questions in Berkeley. 
• In the 1990s I did Jungle Intensives with Kevin Smith and Emilie. 
• I attended a Bonnie Gintis Workshop in Santa Cruz 2008(?). 
• I participated in Barbara Mindell‘s Art and Continuum in Santa Cruz. 
• In 2014 I was with Amber Gray for PolyVagal Theory in the Santa Monica Studio.
• I attended Words and Waves with Rebecca Mark and Linda Chrisman in Los Angeles in 2015. 

Contributions:  I have provided ongoing explorations for my local community throughout the years, referring and building a large pool of divers that have rippled out throughout the state and beyond. I turned a lot of local students onto Continuum by contributing to a quarterly college class for many years. I co sponsored a Continuum and Trager training for Susan Harper 1996. I taught classes in how to work with sensation and movement and Continuum in therapeutic setting at a local healing arts college for five years. I developed a video on youtube; an interview with Emilie called “Diving in the Dark: A Continuum Path to Healing” that has reached thousands of people and serves as an introduction for many to Continuum. For a subsequent reading list on Neuroplasticity and Movement, I wrote : “Learning Curves: Integrating Continuum Movement and Bodywork.”

Discovering Continuum: I first was told about Continuum from Kai Ehrhardt, a Continuum Teacher in Berlin, Germany. We were teaching Authentic Eros workshops and year trainings together. He told me about Emilie Conrad and did some of the Continuum sounds and practices, I was in love from the first moment.

First Teacher:  I met Emilie Conrad in Brussels 2009, she was teaching a 5-day mystery school retreat. In order to join the retreat I did 2 hours of Continuum with Ann-Sophie Anciaux in Belgium.

Subsequent teachers:

• Linda Rabin (I invited her to Amsterdam in 2011 and 2012. Then we taught a nature retreat together in Switzerland in 2013).
• Robert Litman (while being in the Continuum Practitioners in 2011).
• Robin Becker (when she was teaching in Hilversum (Netherlands) 2012).
• Tone Merete Gilje (teaching mystery schools together  in Switzerland in 2015 and 2016).
• Amber Gray, (2015 in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Belgium).
• Batyah Schachter (meeting her at my first class in Belgium in 2009, then teaching together in Israel in 2016).
• And of course all the teachers I met at teacher meetings and who were teaching there as well.

Contributions: Emilie Conrad authorized me as a Continuum Movement teacher in 2012 and I have been a Continuum Wellsprings Practitioner since 2012. I travel and teach Continuum in my workshops and classes all over the world; I have brought it to the Netherlands, England, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, France, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. Basically wherever I go, people see me doing these ‘strange’ movements and sounds, and they get interested, there is always an element of teaching and spreading the freedom of who we are. When I was working in an psychiatric clinic I would use the Continuum practitioners skills with the patients there, I also use them with clients in my private practice. Another way I’m strengthening the field is by initiating the European Teachers meeting and by connecting and co-teaching with different teachers.
