Our next Members' Webinar is now live on our website, and we're delighted to be joined by an author published by our Trusted Affiliate, Handspring Publishing.

On Friday 24th October Leila Stuart will be discussing Experiential Anatomy as Therapy - also the theme of her book. She will guide us through this rich, embodied method of learning that combines interoceptive awareness and somatic inquiry to foster whole person healing and integration. By mindfully exploring the “laboratory” of our own body, we become curious how our physical body, emotions, personal and cultural conditioning, and spiritual awareness influence each other.

We'd love to see you there! Please click the link in the comments below to book your space on this webinar.

Spend time with two of the leading UK teachers of living, tensegrity-informed, integrated movement.

Did you miss our Fascial Voice event last weekend? If so, you missed out! It was a truly phenomenal day. But luckily, you can get access to the recordings until the 22nd April. Just visit https://bit.ly/3OsVsAS to purchase your ticket now, and watch at your leisure until the 5th May.

Here's just a little snippet from 'Myofascial Magic in Action', by Joanne Avison, that encapsulates just some of what we discussed on the day -

“Once recognized that the tongue is literally and physically continuous with the heart (it is really one tissue!) it is possible to settle into knowing that seeking our own voice is seeking to speak from the heart. Embryology is a heart-centred sequence.”
