Embryo, Earth, Cosmos: Recovering Fluid Resonance with Continuum

Teacher

Cherionna Menzam-Sills

Overview

“Take the sage off the mountain and put him back in utero, have his skin fall way as he feels the undulating memories of his umbilical tie to his planet. These undulations are cosmic perturbations that are carried by the movement of water in which electrical impulses impregnate soft waves with the immanence of what can be possible.”

-Emilie Conrad, Life on Land

The fluid embryo which is how all of us began, is a highly resonant being, intimately connected not only with the mother but also with Mama Earth and the surrounding Cosmos. It is as if the embryo is suspended within the mother, who is supported by the planet, which is suspended within the Cosmos.

Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum, describes in her book, Life on Land, how we develop density in our fluid tissues as we adapt to life on land after emerging from the liquid surroundings of the womb. To function on land, in everyday life, we need to engage in repetitive motions and neurological patterning enabling us to interact with the physical world around us. We tend to forget our fluid beginnings and the immense potential and creative flexibility a fluid state provides.

We still have that fluid embryo state within us. The gentle, mindful practice of Continuum resurrects our embryo potential. As we engage in the breaths, vocal sounding, and mindful movement of Continuum, the density begins to soften. We often find ourselves feeling like a fluid embryo, floating in the internal ocean of the womb, and more connected with the support of both Earth and Cosmos.

Instructor

Cherionna Menzam-Sills

Cherionna Menzam-Sills is a prenatal and birth therapist, movement therapist and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. Drawing on over 45 years experience, her background includes an M.A. in Somatic Psychology (Dance/Movement Therapy) and a Ph.D. in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology, as well as Occupational Therapy, Massage Therapy, intensive study of BMC and Body-Mind Psychotherapy with Susan Aposhyan and 10 years intensive study with prenatal and birth psychotherapy pioneers, William Emerson and Ray Castellino. She worked intensively with founder of Continuum, Emilie Conrad for the last decade of her life. Emilie authorized her to teach Continuum in 2007.

Cherionna has also practiced Craniosacral Therapy since 1991. She began teaching Biodynamic Cranosacral Therapy in 2007 after completing and assisting two-year foundation trainings with John and Anna Chitty, with whom she apprenticed to become a teacher. In 2008 she and Biodynamics pioneer Franklyn Sills began a romantic relationship. Soon after this, Cherionna began assisting Franklyn in teaching foundation trainings and post-graduate seminars.

Marrying Franklyn Sills in 2010 brought Cherionna to the UK from where she began frequently teaching in Europe as well as continuing her trainings and workshops in Canada and the USA. This included becoming a senior tutor at the renounced Karuna Institute in the UK. These years of co-teaching with Franklyn and endless discussions about Biodynamics deepened Cherionna's understanding and practice of this beautiful work, which informed also her practices and teaching of Continuum and Pre- and Perinatal Therapy.

Cherionna's work is further informed by years of intensive Vipassana meditation practice and other mindfulness practices. She has also studied trauma therapies with pioneers such as Janina Fisher and Bonnie Badenoch.

Cherionna has also authored of three books: The Breath of Life: An Introduction to Craniosacral Biodynamics, Spirit into Form: Exploring Embryological Potential and Prenatal Psychology, and The Prenatal Shadow: Healing the Traumas Experienced Before Birth
