SUMMARY:Greater Boston Area Continuum - Monthly Dives
DESCRIPTION:“The challenges that we face in our lives require us to show up as our best selves\, guided by the heart-based wisdom of divine truth. In this truth\, we will find the answers that have eluded us\, and we will find our way back to one another and back to a place of harmony with the world around us.”\n~ Sherri Mitchell in Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change \nDive monthly on SUNDAYS in 2025!\n1:00-4:00 pm\nJanuary 12 • February 2 • March 9 • April 6 • May 18 • June 8\n\n@ The Arlington Center\, 369 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington\, MA\nJoin Somanaut\, Megan Bathory-Peeler\, as she guides curious explorers into the deeper waters of Continuum and wisdom of Mystery School teachings where these monthly gatherings become rituals of belonging that honor the cycles of nature and our interdependence to all life on this Earth. \nThese are monthly in-person gatherings for Continuum movers in the Greater Boston Area with established practices and a desire to commit to co-creating a group container that promotes more intimate sharing and deeper explorations. Through a consistent practice of Continuum\, we can retrieve a perception of wholeness and reclaim a sense of biological optimism that is our birthright. \nThe theme for 2025 is accessing different ways to feel support and live with uncertainty in times of accelerated change. We all need to lean more into care for one another\, co-create spaces of support\, form islands of sanity\, and bolster our own internal strength that comes from vulnerability. \nPlease contact Megan directly if you are interested in attending these monthly gatherings. In-person participation is preferred and these dives will be offered in a hybrid format via Zoom to support commitment and continuity in attendance. \nGreater Boston Area Continuum – Monthly Dives \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88198202097 \nMeeting ID: 881 9820 2097 \nSuggested Sliding Scale: $50-$100/dive \nFor each dive\, there is a suggested tuition.

SUMMARY:A Shifting of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:“Feeling more alive carries distinct qualities that differentiate this healing from other forms. Bodily joy is the primary characteristic: it is an enlivening\, an inner knowing of what it means to be a spiritual-soul-bodily being. It is an experience of levity that also makes us realize that we have been living too much within the force of gravity… When our experience of embodiment shifts to a new sense of the living body\, our relationship to symptoms changes drastically. Symptoms become for us unrecognized possibilities rather than indications of something gone wrong.” ~ Robert Sardello\n \nWinter is Nature’s time for rest and deep internal quieting. Winter asks us to slow down and be more contained and protective. It is easy to feel isolated and disconnected. As we begin to emerge out of winter\, we feel the frozen places thaw\, the sap begins to rise and run\, taking us into the muddy in-between places. We want to jump into the warmth and the exuberance of spring and often the impulse is to jump over what needs to be waded through. Early spring is often a challenging time for many people. Transitions require patience and consciousness. We can attend both needs by coming together for communal connection and life-affirming celebration and sharing the deeply soothing\, self-reflective\, and nourishing patience practice of Continuum. \nContinuum is a holistic embodiment practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nI came upon a short video of an interview that the author James Baldwin gave many decades ago. “There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see\, but there is some\,” he said. “There is more than one would think.” He spoke with gravity and moral conviction\, his eyes boring into the interviewer\, who was off-camera. “Walk down the street of any city\, any afternoon\, and look around you\,” he continued. “What you’ve got to remember is what you’re looking at is also you. Everyone you’re looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that monster\, you could be that cop. And you have to decide for yourself not to be.”  ~ Excerpts from “A Humanist Manifesto” by David Brooks\, (The Atlantic\, Oct. 24\, 2023) \nLeaning into the wisdom and words of writer James Baldwin\, in these two Shifting of the Heart workshops we will hold an inquiry around what it means to practice what David Brooks calls Defiant Humanism. How do we witness the people around us without making assumptions or being judgmental?  You could be that person. That person could be you. \nEvery person is sacred. Every person deserves to be seen\, and given just and loving attention. We may later decide that the person we are looking at is venal or cruel or wicked—but at least we will have tried to fully understand them before making those judgments. The rot that pervades our democracy comes in large part from our failure to do this. Despite the prejudices of the postmodern ideologues\, history shows us that it’s possible to enter into a compassionate understanding of people who are different from ourselves.~ David Brooks \nShifting our culture to a more spiritual\, moral\, relational\, communal culture begins with a small group of people finding a better way to live together. Come dive into these communal waters with other intrepid explorers. Let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this spring. \n“There are moments of suffering that interrupt your life and remind you that you are not the person you thought you were. They come through the basement of your soul\, revealing a cavity below. You can either be broken or broken open by them.” ~ Paul Tillich \nEvery human being longs to be seen and fully heard by others; to know that each one of us truly matters. Embodying the practice of seeing and hearing others with this kind of clarity begins with giving this gift to ourselves. The longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to listen and sense deeply\, exploring what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. Think of these workshops as a personal retreat\, or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration. \n\n\nA Shifting of the Heart ~ Spring Continuum Workshops with Megan Bathory-Peeler and Krista Feichtinger\n2 Saturdays • April 26 & May 17 • 1:00-5:00 pm \nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Liquid Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Open the door this year to the body’s inherent wisdom through the moving mindfulness practice of Continuum. These weekly explorations will creatively awaken the physiology of the body with active\, fluid body workouts in balance with restorative\, expansive explorations asking: What is support? What is strength? What is resilience?  \nAs the world around us continues to be in constant flux\, reclaiming our own truth\, trusting our own inner wisdom and honing our listening skills has never been more important. What would our lives be like if joy and pleasure are what motivated us? What if we embraced all movement as the medicine that brings us health and vitality? What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear\, anxiety and overwhelm? \nContinuum reminds us how to slow down\, quiet our minds and open our hearts. We attune to the subtle movement responses of our body’s tissues and fluid systems. As we slow down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense (more spacious). This helps us relocate ourselves in our bodies\, separate from the sensory overload of modern culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life. This is all about restoring our relationships with all that is. \nThese weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler\, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration? \nLIQUID RESILIENCE: CONTINUUM MOVING MEDITATIONS\n\nJOIN US ANYTIME! Classes started January 3\, 2025 and will continue ongoing throughout the year… check calendar regularly for exceptions. \nFIND COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION ON FRIDAYS via Zoom\n8:30-10:30 am ET/2:30-4:30 CET\n\n  \nUSE THIS ZOOM LINK EVERY WEEK:\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting – Liquid Reslience\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87926524930\nMeeting ID: 879 2652 4930\n\n  \n\nHOW DO I REGISTER? ASK A QUESTION?\nContact Megan! \nemail: megan@somanautiko.com \nphone/text: 413-772-0078 \nSuggested tuition: $25 for each 2 hour class \nWhat if my resources are limited?

DROPPING IN?\nEMAIL: megan@somanautiko.com to reserve your space in the virtual studio *AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE* start of class.\n\n\nTrue Beginners welcome. In fact\, a Beginner’s Mind strongly encouraged for all.\nI strongly urge you to softly allow the flow of your day to allow you to arrive with enough time to set up and be settling in at 8:30 am ET/2:30 pm CET\nPrepare a clean and cleared floor space with a blanket\, any cushions\, a chair and anything else you need to be comfortable and fully present.\nHydration is essential. Everyone is encouraged to drink 2 cups of water before the start of class. Have a full water bottle nearby.\nBring a notebook to write in every week.\nWe will often use balls in class. Having a tennis ball and a 9 inch soft ball is strongly encouraged. Here’s a link to the ball that I like best. There are many versions of these on the market and any will work. 9″ BALL\nBring your curiosity and an open mind\, and you’ll have everything you need!\n\n\nWhat is Continuum Somanautiko? Continuum is a practice that cultivates dynamic awareness throughout the body. Beginning with simple breaths and vocalized sounds\, these vibrations invoke subtle and spontaneous movements within the body. As these intrinsic movements emerge\, they spark creative sensory imagery and increase fluid responsiveness in our embodied minds. Within the first few breaths\, we recover and restore sensation and awareness that has been flattened and lost by the speed of modern life. This immediately increases our vitality\, adaptability\, and immunity — making us more resilient. \nSlowing down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense and more spacious. Continuum helps us relocate ourselves\, separate from the sensory overload of technology-driven culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life on earth. It then becomes possible to explore the edges between the known and the unknown in Continuum’s essential inquiry — what is a body? \nContinuum develops the non-judgmental witness\, allowing to us to be fully present to our own process\, without expectations of outcome. This enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now. By reconnecting to what is most alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, it becomes easier to perceive the same in others and offer these gifts out to human and non-human beings around us. Continuum is a practice that deepens our trust in our own inherent wisdom and the interdependence of all things —skills and awareness that are critically needed in this time of ongoing pandemic recovery and climate-driven adaptability.

SUMMARY:Grounding Inspiration: Stillness\, Simplicity and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get real. This is a time of rapid unfolding and transformation. What is completing? What do you want to let go of? What are you dreaming in? What are you yearning for? \nContinuum offers the simple structures our creativity craves to ride this wave of expanding consciousness. Every class is like booking a stillness appointment for yourself on an island of sanity in an ocean of chaos. Continuum is a deeply meditative practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nThe longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to explore what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. \nShifting our culture to a more spiritual\, moral\, relational\, communal culture begins with a small group of people finding a better way to live together. Come dive into these communal waters with other intrepid explorers! Let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this spring. Let these five April classes be a weekly personal retreat or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, grounding\, and inspiration. \nDiscover Continuum: slow down\, awaken awareness\, find coherence\, and create peace with other explorers of the embodied human experience. How might your life be different if you listened to your inner guidance rather than fear? Come cultivate a relationship with your inner guidance and discover what’s possible. Continuum is something that must be experienced to be understood. It might even change your life. \nGrounding Inspiration: Stillness\, Simplicity and Creativity with Megan Bathory-Peeler\n\nTuesday evenings • April 1\, 8\, 15\, 22 & 29\, 2025 • 6:00-8:00 pm ET\nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

How do we witness the people around us without making assumptions or being judgmental?  You could be that person. That person could be you. \nEvery person is sacred. Every person deserves to be seen\, and given just and loving attention. We may later decide that the person we are looking at is venal or cruel or wicked—but at least we will have tried to fully understand them before making those judgments. The rot that pervades our democracy comes in large part from our failure to do this. Despite the prejudices of the postmodern ideologues\, history shows us that it’s possible to enter into a compassionate understanding of people who are different from ourselves.~ David Brooks \nShifting our culture to a more spiritual\, moral\, relational\, communal culture begins with a small group of people finding a better way to live together. Come dive into these communal waters with other intrepid explorers. Let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this spring. \n“There are moments of suffering that interrupt your life and remind you that you are not the person you thought you were. They come through the basement of your soul\, revealing a cavity below. You can either be broken or broken open by them.” ~ Paul Tillich \nEvery human being longs to be seen and fully heard by others; to know that each one of us truly matters. Embodying the practice of seeing and hearing others with this kind of clarity begins with giving this gift to ourselves. The longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to listen and sense deeply\, exploring what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. Think of these workshops as a personal retreat\, or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration. \n\n\nA Shifting of the Heart ~ Spring Continuum Workshops with Megan Bathory-Peeler and Krista Feichtinger\n2 Saturdays • April 26 & May 17 • 1:00-5:00 pm \nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Liquid Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Open the door this year to the body’s inherent wisdom through the moving mindfulness practice of Continuum. These weekly explorations will creatively awaken the physiology of the body with active\, fluid body workouts in balance with restorative\, expansive explorations asking: What is support? What is strength? What is resilience?  \nAs the world around us continues to be in constant flux\, reclaiming our own truth\, trusting our own inner wisdom and honing our listening skills has never been more important. What would our lives be like if joy and pleasure are what motivated us? What if we embraced all movement as the medicine that brings us health and vitality? What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear\, anxiety and overwhelm? \nContinuum reminds us how to slow down\, quiet our minds and open our hearts. We attune to the subtle movement responses of our body’s tissues and fluid systems. As we slow down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense (more spacious). This helps us relocate ourselves in our bodies\, separate from the sensory overload of modern culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life. This is all about restoring our relationships with all that is. \nThese weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler\, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration? \nLIQUID RESILIENCE: CONTINUUM MOVING MEDITATIONS\n\nJOIN US ANYTIME! Classes started January 3\, 2025 and will continue ongoing throughout the year… check calendar regularly for exceptions. \nFIND COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION ON FRIDAYS via Zoom\n8:30-10:30 am ET/2:30-4:30 CET\n\n  \nUSE THIS ZOOM LINK EVERY WEEK:\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting – Liquid Reslience\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87926524930\nMeeting ID: 879 2652 4930\n\n  \n\nHOW DO I REGISTER?

Continuum is a practice that cultivates dynamic awareness throughout the body. Beginning with simple breaths and vocalized sounds\, these vibrations invoke subtle and spontaneous movements within the body. As these intrinsic movements emerge\, they spark creative sensory imagery and increase fluid responsiveness in our embodied minds. Within the first few breaths\, we recover and restore sensation and awareness that has been flattened and lost by the speed of modern life. This immediately increases our vitality\, adaptability\, and immunity — making us more resilient. \nSlowing down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense and more spacious. Continuum helps us relocate ourselves\, separate from the sensory overload of technology-driven culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life on earth. It then becomes possible to explore the edges between the known and the unknown in Continuum’s essential inquiry — what is a body? \nContinuum develops the non-judgmental witness\, allowing to us to be fully present to our own process\, without expectations of outcome. This enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now. By reconnecting to what is most alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, it becomes easier to perceive the same in others and offer these gifts out to human and non-human beings around us. Continuum is a practice that deepens our trust in our own inherent wisdom and the interdependence of all things —skills and awareness that are critically needed in this time of ongoing pandemic recovery and climate-driven adaptability.

SUMMARY:Grounding Inspiration: Stillness\, Simplicity and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get real. This is a time of rapid unfolding and transformation. What is completing? What do you want to let go of? What are you dreaming in? What are you yearning for? \nContinuum offers the simple structures our creativity craves to ride this wave of expanding consciousness. Every class is like booking a stillness appointment for yourself on an island of sanity in an ocean of chaos. Continuum is a deeply meditative practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nThe longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to explore what it means to be in a human body-mind.

DESCRIPTION:Let’s get real. This is a time of rapid unfolding and transformation. What is completing? What do you want to let go of? What are you dreaming in? What are you yearning for? \nContinuum offers the simple structures our creativity craves to ride this wave of expanding consciousness. Every class is like booking a stillness appointment for yourself on an island of sanity in an ocean of chaos. Continuum is a deeply meditative practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nThe longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to explore what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. \nShifting our culture to a more spiritual\, moral\, relational\, communal culture begins with a small group of people finding a better way to live together. Come dive into these communal waters with other intrepid explorers! Let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this spring. Let these five April classes be a weekly personal retreat or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, grounding\, and inspiration. \nDiscover Continuum: slow down\, awaken awareness\, find coherence\, and create peace with other explorers of the embodied human experience. How might your life be different if you listened to your inner guidance rather than fear? Come cultivate a relationship with your inner guidance and discover what’s possible. Continuum is something that must be experienced to be understood. It might even change your life. \nGrounding Inspiration: Stillness\, Simplicity and Creativity with Megan Bathory-Peeler\n\nTuesday evenings • April 1\, 8\, 15\, 22 & 29\, 2025 • 6:00-8:00 pm ET\nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Greater Boston Area Continuum - Monthly Dives
DESCRIPTION:“The challenges that we face in our lives require us to show up as our best selves\, guided by the heart-based wisdom of divine truth. In this truth\, we will find the answers that have eluded us\, and we will find our way back to one another and back to a place of harmony with the world around us.”\n~ Sherri Mitchell in Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change \nDive monthly on SUNDAYS in 2025!\n1:00-4:00 pm\nJanuary 12 • February 2 • March 9 • April 6 • May 18 • June 8\n\n@ The Arlington Center\, 369 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington\, MA\nJoin Somanaut\, Megan Bathory-Peeler\, as she guides curious explorers into the deeper waters of Continuum and wisdom of Mystery School teachings where these monthly gatherings become rituals of belonging that honor the cycles of nature and our interdependence to all life on this Earth. \nThese are monthly in-person gatherings for Continuum movers in the Greater Boston Area with established practices and a desire to commit to co-creating a group container that promotes more intimate sharing and deeper explorations. Through a consistent practice of Continuum\, we can retrieve a perception of wholeness and reclaim a sense of biological optimism that is our birthright. \nThe theme for 2025 is accessing different ways to feel support and live with uncertainty in times of accelerated change. We all need to lean more into care for one another\, co-create spaces of support\, form islands of sanity\, and bolster our own internal strength that comes from vulnerability. \nPlease contact Megan directly if you are interested in attending these monthly gatherings. In-person participation is preferred and these dives will be offered in a hybrid format via Zoom to support commitment and continuity in attendance. \nGreater Boston Area Continuum – Monthly Dives \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88198202097 \nMeeting ID: 881 9820 2097 \nSuggested Sliding Scale: $50-$100/dive \nFor each dive\, there is a suggested tuition.

SUMMARY:Liquid Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Open the door this year to the body’s inherent wisdom through the moving mindfulness practice of Continuum. These weekly explorations will creatively awaken the physiology of the body with active\, fluid body workouts in balance with restorative\, expansive explorations asking: What is support? What is strength? What is resilience?  \nAs the world around us continues to be in constant flux\, reclaiming our own truth\, trusting our own inner wisdom and honing our listening skills has never been more important. What would our lives be like if joy and pleasure are what motivated us? What if we embraced all movement as the medicine that brings us health and vitality? What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear\, anxiety and overwhelm? \nContinuum reminds us how to slow down\, quiet our minds and open our hearts. We attune to the subtle movement responses of our body’s tissues and fluid systems. As we slow down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense (more spacious). This helps us relocate ourselves in our bodies\, separate from the sensory overload of modern culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life. This is all about restoring our relationships with all that is. \nThese weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler\, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration? \nLIQUID RESILIENCE: CONTINUUM MOVING MEDITATIONS\n\nJOIN US ANYTIME! Classes started January 3\, 2025 and will continue ongoing throughout the year… check calendar regularly for exceptions. \nFIND COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION ON FRIDAYS via Zoom\n8:30-10:30 am ET/2:30-4:30 CET\n\n  \nUSE THIS ZOOM LINK EVERY WEEK:\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting – Liquid Reslience\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87926524930\nMeeting ID: 879 2652 4930\n\n  \n\nHOW DO I REGISTER? ASK A QUESTION?\nContact Megan! \nemail: megan@somanautiko.com \nphone/text: 413-772-0078 \nSuggested tuition: $25 for each 2 hour class \nWhat if my resources are limited? Please do not let personal circumstances prevent you from attending.

DROPPING IN?\nEMAIL: megan@somanautiko.com to reserve your space in the virtual studio *AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE* start of class.\n\n\nTrue Beginners welcome. In fact\, a Beginner’s Mind strongly encouraged for all.\nI strongly urge you to softly allow the flow of your day to allow you to arrive with enough time to set up and be settling in at 8:30 am ET/2:30 pm CET\nPrepare a clean and cleared floor space with a blanket\, any cushions\, a chair and anything else you need to be comfortable and fully present.\nHydration is essential. Everyone is encouraged to drink 2 cups of water before the start of class. Have a full water bottle nearby.\nBring a notebook to write in every week.\nWe will often use balls in class. Having a tennis ball and a 9 inch soft ball is strongly encouraged. Here’s a link to the ball that I like best. There are many versions of these on the market and any will work. 9″ BALL\nBring your curiosity and an open mind\, and you’ll have everything you need!\n\n\nWhat is Continuum Somanautiko? Continuum is a practice that cultivates dynamic awareness throughout the body. Beginning with simple breaths and vocalized sounds\, these vibrations invoke subtle and spontaneous movements within the body. As these intrinsic movements emerge\, they spark creative sensory imagery and increase fluid responsiveness in our embodied minds. Within the first few breaths\, we recover and restore sensation and awareness that has been flattened and lost by the speed of modern life. This immediately increases our vitality\, adaptability\, and immunity — making us more resilient. \nSlowing down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense and more spacious. Continuum helps us relocate ourselves\, separate from the sensory overload of technology-driven culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life on earth. It then becomes possible to explore the edges between the known and the unknown in Continuum’s essential inquiry — what is a body? \nContinuum develops the non-judgmental witness\, allowing to us to be fully present to our own process\, without expectations of outcome. This enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now. By reconnecting to what is most alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, it becomes easier to perceive the same in others and offer these gifts out to human and non-human beings around us. Continuum is a practice that deepens our trust in our own inherent wisdom and the interdependence of all things —skills and awareness that are critically needed in this time of ongoing pandemic recovery and climate-driven adaptability.

SUMMARY:Healing with Bodily Joy
DESCRIPTION:Feeling more alive carries distinct qualities that differentiate this healing from other forms. Bodily joy is the primary characteristic: it is an enlivening\, an inner knowing of what it means to be a spiritual-soul-bodily being. It is an experience of levity that also makes us realize that we have been living too much within the force of gravity… When our experience of embodiment shifts to a new sense of the living body\, our relationship to symptoms changes drastically. Symptoms become for us unrecognized possibilities rather than indications of something gone wrong.  \n~ Robert Sardello \nWinter is a time for rest and deep internal quieting. Winter can also be a tough time for many people. It is easy to feel isolated and disconnected. We can attend both needs: We can sustain ourselves by coming together for communal support and connection while sharing a deeply soothing\, reflective\, and nourishing practice like Continuum. \nCome discover bodily joy. Come play with a lightness of being. Come let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this winter. \nContinuum is a complete embodiment practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nLet these winter classes be a personal weekly retreat\, or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration at what can be a challenging time of year. \nThe longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to explore what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. \n\n\nWinter Continuum Workshops with Megan Bathory-Peeler and Krista Feichtinger\nSaturdays • January 25\, February 22 & March 22 • 1:00-5:00 pm \nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Liquid Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Open the door this year to the body’s inherent wisdom through the moving mindfulness practice of Continuum. These weekly explorations will creatively awaken the physiology of the body with active\, fluid body workouts in balance with restorative\, expansive explorations asking: What is support? What is strength? What is resilience?  \nAs the world around us continues to be in constant flux\, reclaiming our own truth\, trusting our own inner wisdom and honing our listening skills has never been more important. What would our lives be like if joy and pleasure are what motivated us? What if we embraced all movement as the medicine that brings us health and vitality? What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear\, anxiety and overwhelm? \nContinuum reminds us how to slow down\, quiet our minds and open our hearts. We attune to the subtle movement responses of our body’s tissues and fluid systems. As we slow down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense (more spacious). This helps us relocate ourselves in our bodies\, separate from the sensory overload of modern culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life. This is all about restoring our relationships with all that is. \nThese weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler\, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration? \nLIQUID RESILIENCE: CONTINUUM MOVING MEDITATIONS\n\nJOIN US ANYTIME!

SUMMARY:Greater Boston Area Continuum - Monthly Dives
DESCRIPTION:“The challenges that we face in our lives require us to show up as our best selves\, guided by the heart-based wisdom of divine truth. In this truth\, we will find the answers that have eluded us\, and we will find our way back to one another and back to a place of harmony with the world around us.”\n~ Sherri Mitchell in Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change \nDive monthly on SUNDAYS in 2025!\n1:00-4:00 pm\nJanuary 12 • February 2 • March 9 • April 6 • May 18 • June 8\n\n@ The Arlington Center\, 369 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington\, MA\nJoin Somanaut\, Megan Bathory-Peeler\, as she guides curious explorers into the deeper waters of Continuum and wisdom of Mystery School teachings where these monthly gatherings become rituals of belonging that honor the cycles of nature and our interdependence to all life on this Earth. \nThese are monthly in-person gatherings for Continuum movers in the Greater Boston Area with established practices and a desire to commit to co-creating a group container that promotes more intimate sharing and deeper explorations. Through a consistent practice of Continuum\, we can retrieve a perception of wholeness and reclaim a sense of biological optimism that is our birthright. \nThe theme for 2025 is accessing different ways to feel support and live with uncertainty in times of accelerated change. We all need to lean more into care for one another\, co-create spaces of support\, form islands of sanity\, and bolster our own internal strength that comes from vulnerability. \nPlease contact Megan directly if you are interested in attending these monthly gatherings. In-person participation is preferred and these dives will be offered in a hybrid format via Zoom to support commitment and continuity in attendance. \nGreater Boston Area Continuum – Monthly Dives \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88198202097 \nMeeting ID: 881 9820 2097 \nSuggested Sliding Scale: $50-$100/dive \nFor each dive\, there is a suggested tuition.

What would it be like to experience stillness from deep inner and outer acceptance instead of being immobilized by fear\, anxiety and overwhelm? \nContinuum reminds us how to slow down\, quiet our minds and open our hearts. We attune to the subtle movement responses of our body’s tissues and fluid systems. As we slow down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense (more spacious). This helps us relocate ourselves in our bodies\, separate from the sensory overload of modern culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life. This is all about restoring our relationships with all that is. \nThese weekly offerings will be guided by Megan Bathory-Peeler\, an expert somanaut – a true explorer of the body. Think of carving out this 1.5-hour block of time as a personal weekly retreat or spiritual bath. Isn’t it time to give your Self the gift of bathing in a pool of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration? \nLIQUID RESILIENCE: CONTINUUM MOVING MEDITATIONS\n\nJOIN US ANYTIME!

Continuum is a practice that cultivates dynamic awareness throughout the body.

Within the first few breaths\, we recover and restore sensation and awareness that has been flattened and lost by the speed of modern life. This immediately increases our vitality\, adaptability\, and immunity — making us more resilient. \nSlowing down to the speed of water\, our tissues hydrate themselves\, becoming less dense and more spacious. Continuum helps us relocate ourselves\, separate from the sensory overload of technology-driven culture\, and drop into our place in the interconnected web of life on earth. It then becomes possible to explore the edges between the known and the unknown in Continuum’s essential inquiry — what is a body? \nContinuum develops the non-judgmental witness\, allowing to us to be fully present to our own process\, without expectations of outcome. This enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now. By reconnecting to what is most alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, it becomes easier to perceive the same in others and offer these gifts out to human and non-human beings around us. Continuum is a practice that deepens our trust in our own inherent wisdom and the interdependence of all things —skills and awareness that are critically needed in this time of ongoing pandemic recovery and climate-driven adaptability.

SUMMARY:Continuum: Trusting Your Inner Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Winter is a time for rest and deep internal quieting. Winter can also be a tough time for many people. It is easy to feel isolated and disconnected. We can attend both needs: We can sustain ourselves by coming together for communal support and connection while sharing a deeply soothing\, reflective\, and nourishing practice like Continuum. \nHow might your life be different if you listened to your inner guidance rather than fear? Come cultivate a relationship with your inner guidance and discover what’s possible. Continuum is something that must be experienced to be understood. It might even change your life. \nContinuum is a deeply meditative practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins. By reconnecting to what is alive in each of us with more empathy and compassion for ourselves\, we may find it easier to perceive the same in others & offer that gift out into the world around us. \nLet these winter classes be a personal weekly retreat\, or spiritual bath. Give yourself the gift of rest\, reflection\, acceptance\, compassion\, discovery\, and inspiration at what can be a challenging time of year. \nThe longer format classes of Continuum are specifically designed to create a time and space for you to explore what it means to be in a human body-mind. Breath\, vocalized sounds\, meditative awareness\, visual imagery\, and simple\, biological movements will help you recover and restore sensation and increase the innate fluid movement responses of your body that get lost in the speed of modern life and the cultural quicksand of fear\, sorrow\, and pain. \nContinuum: Trusting Your Inner Guidance with Megan Bathory-Peeler and Krista Feichtinger\n\nTuesday evenings • February 4\, March 4\, 11\, & 18\, 2025 • 6:00-8:00 pm ET\nCommunity Yoga & Wellness Studio • 16 Federal Street Greenfield\, MA\n\n\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Healing with Bodily Joy
DESCRIPTION:Feeling more alive carries distinct qualities that differentiate this healing from other forms. Bodily joy is the primary characteristic: it is an enlivening\, an inner knowing of what it means to be a spiritual-soul-bodily being. It is an experience of levity that also makes us realize that we have been living too much within the force of gravity… When our experience of embodiment shifts to a new sense of the living body\, our relationship to symptoms changes drastically. Symptoms become for us unrecognized possibilities rather than indications of something gone wrong.  \n~ Robert Sardello \nWinter is a time for rest and deep internal quieting. Winter can also be a tough time for many people. It is easy to feel isolated and disconnected. We can attend both needs: We can sustain ourselves by coming together for communal support and connection while sharing a deeply soothing\, reflective\, and nourishing practice like Continuum. \nCome discover bodily joy. Come play with a lightness of being. Come let your living\, moving body show you the path to healing what limits you and restore your creative potential this winter. \nContinuum is a complete embodiment practice that increases awareness by cueing the mind and body to slow down with audible breath and subtle biological movements. Continuum enhances our ability to rest into what is\, to be in the Here and Now\, and to be happier in our own skins.
