Workshops and Certifications
The Human Microcosm - a course in Energy and Fascial Anatomy
This course emphasizes connective tissues as a medium for energy conduction, building a dynamic, energetic theory. We draw inspiration from various healing traditions while remaining open to integrating new possibilities of understanding and adapting to our ever-changing cultural environment.
We approach this course as explorers embarking on a journey of discovery. We take with us the maps, diagrams, and clues left by those who came before, but we must also get our feet wet and hands dirty and do this work ourselves. In our toolkit, we bring our charts and texts, our facts and figures. Still, we also bring our mind’s eye, imagination, and intuition - as we look for relevant correspondences and signatures that create meaning and form a deeper intuitive understanding of the human body.
