Toroidal geometry of the gastrulating embryo: kinesthetic phenomenology and the learning journey

Can we visualise how our adult bodies spring into form from a single cell? This short blog argues that where embryology is concerned, visualisation is not possible without participation. There are animated videos available that make aspects of the embryonic journey feel more approachable. However, watching a video can never convey the genuine sense of…

Karen Kirkness: Five Filaments in Practice

Spirality in nature is everywhere we look, and resides in every movement we make. Nature’sdance through the music and mathematics of form leave patterns in nature that providenatural constraints, and in life we find it arising in complexity. Spiral constraints inform andinfuse every movement we make through filamentous tissue. Join Karen in a practicalworkshop exploring…

Karen Kirkness: Constrain to Set Free: Fascia and Complexity

Spirality in nature is everywhere we look, and resides in every movement we make. To be spiral is to curl, to resonate with vibration, to converge and expand with the breath. Spirals are found universally, leaving a twirling pattern in biologic tissue, pea tendrils, the horns of ruminant animals, weather formations and the motion of…

Spirality, chirality and movement

This is the introduction to a webinar taught by Karen Kirkness and Celina Hwang. View the webinar here. Curvature and rotation are features so deeply embedded within our natural structure, it is easy to overlook the significance. Spirality, a biological strategy, is hidden in the obvious. Helical structure underpins all carbon-based life; from the micro…
