Elizabeth Rainey, aka "Rainey"
"I believe the body is wise. I want to help people access their own wisdom and find ease. I know the body can come back into harmony given space, time and tenderness. I believe the world needs us to be as healthy, whole and present as we can be. I am passionate about creating and holding a sacred space for people to deepen into and recover their sense of agency in the world and engagement with the world’s aliveness. I believe we can live more vibrant and present lives by tending to our deepest wisdom. I know we all need more space in our lives; we are not machines. I am committed to
with-nessing ourselves awake.
I maintain a somatic therapy practice based in Bend, OR in which I combine different modalities to support folks in reclaiming their resiliency. I hold the following certifications…SEP, Continuum Inquiry Teacher, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, Grief Tender."

Rainey teaches Continuum Inquiry.
She will be offering a series on Wednesdays, Sept 17, 24, October 1 titled "Continuum Inquiry; Exploring Fluid Dynamics"
After a brief introduction to the motif, we will take a movement dive with music. We will use sound, breath and gentle movement to enliven and reclaim your authentic and present expression of aliveness. Each practice will build on the prior week and also stand alone.
Continuum Inquiry is a direct experience inquiry into what it means to be alive. An individual’s unique movement expression and tissue orchestration are explored in space, gravity, and time. Using sound, breath, and subtle movement, we enliven the fluid system, allowing the bio-intelligence to be responsive to our context. When somatic constraints are softened, we experience a greater flow of energy, increase tissue adaptability, and generate multi-dimensional movement dynamics. The practice helps us to be responsive and adaptable in movement and thought.
