This playshop is an opportunity to explore your body as an ongoing experience of perception and presence. Through these practices of invitational movement and deep perceiving you will be supported in showing up more and more in an embodied way in your life.
You are welcome to attend a single day, or dive into the entire series to give your body all the attention and expression it, perhaps, has been longing for.
Each day will start with Continuum Inquiry, lead by Rainey. If you haven't experienced this before, it is a direct experience inquiry into our unique movement expression and tissue orchestration. We use sound, breath and subtle movement to enliven the fluid intelligence of our body. The practice helps us to be responsive and adaptable in movement and thought; experiencing a greater flow of energy, increased tissue adaptability and generating multi-dimensional movement dynamics.
Rainey will take some time to discuss our theme, followed by ample time for self-regulated movement exploration with music, and closing with a short and sweet sensation/experience naming circle. This time for slow inner somatic exploration is deeply nourishing for our tissues, our soul and the world.
After a break, Lynne will be staying with the theme and inviting a bigger expression through movement, dance, and a continued emphasis on embodied exploration. You'll be invited to expand your awareness to include emotion, others, spirit, and symbol, evoking imagery and connection to these theme on levels beyond physical. Lynne will also be guiding and facilitating with music and some embodied invitations, helping you to move with how this theme may move within you. Once again, you'll be tuning into the longings of your body as it finds it's own unique expression.
There may be some work with partners or triads, some time for journaling and reflection, and there will be some time to integrate your learning somatically.
No experience is required, this practice is appropriate for all abilities and body types. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

Rainey is an avid explorer of this wild experience of embodiment. She has been investigating what it means to have a body and be fully present in it since she was a teenager.
For the past 15 years she has been studying with Susan Harper, one of the original contributors to the practices of Continuum Inquiry. This came after decades of concentrated study of yoga asana, breath work & meditation.
Rainey is a long time student of tantra, the philosophy that posits we are all part of a continuous fabric of consciousness; and that our embodiment is a gift and opportunity to bring awareness to every breath and interaction, enlivening it with our sacred, living presence.
She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, a Continuum Inquiry Teacher and a Yoga Therapist with a private practice based in Bend where she supports folks in learning about their nervous systems and how to integrate
trauma and stress.
She also offers classes, playshops and retreats.

Lynne Herbert, LPC supports individuals to feel more connected and alive within their bodies, with others, in community, and in the world through her mindful movement and dance practice, Soul in Motion. Her work is informed by her 20 years as an attachment and trauma-focused psychotherapist and her extensive training with somatic and mindfulness principles.
Lynne longed to bring more life to her work....by attending to the body and all that it holds, particularly in community. She sees her work now as a more fully embodied way of working with heart, soul, and body all as necessary partners in healing. Weaving inquiry with music and guiding her participants to move in a way that their body yearns for, Soul in Motion welcomes everyone...whether they call themselves a "dancer" or not.
Lynne trusts in the power of movement to create understanding, self compassion, evoke emotion, and provide insight in an integrative and comprehensive practice that is just that....a practice for life.
