Love Warrior Weekend:
A Continuum Workshop at Shantigar
with
Megan Bathory-Peeler
Friday, May 29 - Sunday, May 31, 2026
Spring is the perfect time to commit to love and to meet the unknown with power, curiosity, and creativity. A love warrior chooses vulnerability and compassion, using inner strength and resilience to overcome challenges, transform pain into growth, and foster authenticity in ourselves and others.
Continuum is a practice for love warriors.
Continuum cultivates dynamic awareness throughout the body. Beginning with simple breath and vocalized sounds, these vibrations invoke subtle, spontaneous movements. Slowing down to the speed of water, our tissues hydrate, becoming less dense and more spacious. This increases our vitality, adaptability, and immunity, making us more resilient.
Slow down, quiet your mind, and open your heart.
Through our Continuum moving inquiry practice, we deepen trust in our own inherent wisdom and our interdependence across the web of life on earth.
To learn more and register directly with Megan:
Megan Bathory-Peeler is an expert somanaut, fully engaged by the moving inquiry of what it takes to thrive in a human body in the 21st century. Her unique Somanautiko approach synergistically weaves three decades of professional interdisciplinary study and practice as a teacher of Continuum, Certified Somatic Therapist/Educator, bodyworker, choreographer, performance artist, activist, and mother. Megan’s greatest pleasure comes from co-creating safe spaces that allow people of all ages to return home to themselves, reclaim the power of their own creativity, and find ease in the innate wisdom of their bodies.
Otters flow gracefully between land and water. In many indigenous traditions, Otter is revered as the embodiment of balanced female energy.
