Continuum of Sovereignty: A Somatic Inquiry of Individual and Collective Expression
May 28, June 4, June 11, June 25, and July 2 | 6:30-8:30pm ET | Virtual via Zoom
In this Continuum Movement® series, we inquire into sovereignty through a somatic and energetic lens – not as separation, but as coherence and belonging. Through movement, we will explore boundaries, speaking truth to power, and expressing agency without collapsing into disconnection. Together we’ll trace how systems, ancestral lineages, and cultural narratives shape the body’s relationship to autonomy, voice, safety, and expression. We'll engage with sovereignty in the relational field—within family, partnerships, community, and peer dynamics—and examine how fluid movement supports this inquiry. Grounding these explorations in biology, we’ll attune to inner landscapes shaped by mitochondria, fascia, exclusion zone water, and the body’s capacity for coherence. This series is an invitation into open systems: where sovereignty is not isolation, but interconnection in motion.
