Upcoming courses:

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.

 

Salon Anatomica

Monthly gatherings of discourse and exploration

A salon is a gathering “for pleasure or to educate.” In our case, it is a space to explore the many layers of anatomy—both seen and unseen.

Our discourse weaves through fascia, the subtle body, consciousness, and energetic theory, drawing from various traditions and modern inquiry alike. These virtual gatherings take place once a month, and while we often follow a theme or story arc over multiple salons, each discussion stands alone—welcoming new participants at any time.

Join us as we engage in conversation, curiosity, and discovery, tracing the connections between structure and energy in the human experience.
