Title: Feeling Biotensegrity: experiencing the science within us.

Webinar Outline:

The study of biotensegrity can be enticing but daunting, as learning so many new terms and concepts can sometimes feel overwhelming. Fortunately, as biotensegral beings, we can begin to access theory through movement, and sense many of the fundamental concepts of biotensegrity through physical experience.

While nothing can replace the sensation of having a tensegrity or other physical models in our hands, with Susan's guidance we can use our own bodies to explore the concepts of auxeticity, soft matter, energy efficiency and the 2nd law of thermodynamics, nonlinearity, oscillations, complexity, emergent properties, phase change, and systemic integration.

Bring your sense of playful curiosity as Susan applies kinesthetic learning techniques to help us feel our own biotensegrity in this fully experiential session.

What you will gain:
Experiential awareness of the concepts of of auxeticity, soft matter, energy efficiency and the 2nd law of thermodynamics, nonlinearity, oscillations, complexity, emergent properties, phase change, and systemic integration.

Props: please have a sheet of paper ready when you attend, for an exercise.

Presenter Bio:

Susan Lowell de Solorzano

Susan Lowell de Solórzano first stumbled onto biotensegrity in 2008 while trying to deepen her understanding of the practice and classic writings of T’ai Chi Ch’uan; she has been a student of biotensegrity ever since. Susan began working directly with Dr Stephen Levin in 2009, and co-founded the Stephen M. Levin Biotensegrity Archive with Steve and his wife, Olga Cox-Levin, in 2015. Her book, Everything Moves: How biotensegrity informs human movement was published by Handspring Publishing in 2020. Susan is showrunner/ co-producer/ co-host of the BiotensegriTea Parties, author of the Biotensegrity Archive’s BX101 Guide, and producer of the Colloquy on Biotensegrity & Equine Health.

Susan is an ATCQA Level III certified T’ai Chi and Qi Gong teacher, and holds an MA in human development and education specializing in kinesthetic learning.
