There’s something rather wonderful about imagining this happening inside you right now.

Donald Ingber took tensegrity into the living cell and showed us an architecture capable of sensing, responding and communicating through force.

While you’re walking, breathing, reaching for a cup of tea, or simply sitting here watching this reel, that living architecture is at work throughout you.

I find the scale of that extraordinary to contemplate. Around 70 trillion cells, each participating in the organisation of the whole.

If you haven’t caught up with my episode on Donald Ingber yet, today is a lovely time to do it! You can watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. And tomorrow, our Sacred Geometry journey continues with a very special guest joining me in person...

Love Joanne ✨

I find this part of Donald Ingber’s work endlessly fascinating.

Every time you stretch, walk, move, or receive touch, something is being communicated through the architecture of you, right down to the level of your individual cells.

Those cells are listening and responding to force, translating what happens through your tissues into biological information.

It gives rather a different significance to something as ordinary as putting your foot on the ground, doesn’t it?

I explore Ingber’s extraordinary work and the science of tensegrity in this week’s episode. It’s available now on YouTube and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

One of the reasons I love using the Skwish in my teaching is that it doesn't ask you to understand anything before you experience it. You simply hold it, let it go, and watch what happens.

Every time it springs back into shape, I'm reminded that our own bodies are doing something remarkably similar throughout the day. We recover, adapt and respond without needing to think about the mechanics of it.

For me, that's where learning becomes most interesting, when we're paying close enough attention to notice what has been there all along.

I hope this little clip encourages you to look again.

The full episode is now available on YouTube and all major podcast platforms if you'd like to explore the beautiful and important work of the Skwish's creator, Tom Flemons, in more depth.

This week's episode is now live ✨

Tom Flemons wasn't trying to criticise the way anatomy had been taught. He simply wanted to build a model that behaved more like the living human body. And that's what he did, with extraordinary patience, curiosity and craftsmanship.

In this week's episode of the second Sacred Geometry series, I share why his work has meant so much to me over the years, and why I believe it offers such a beautiful way into understanding fascia, movement and the living body.

You can watch on YouTube or listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts.

With love,
Joanne 💙

Buckminster Fuller refused to stay inside the boundaries of a single discipline, another polymath in our series - that key to seeing what specialists couldn’t see.

He saw that architecture, biology, physics and nature weren’t separate conversations at all: they were different expressions of the same underlying patterns.

The more I’ve studied fascia and the living body over the years, the more I’ve found myself in a similar place.

We understand so much more when we stop looking for isolated parts and start noticing relationships and patterns.

That’s what this Sacred Geometry series is really about: following different threads about the matter of us. We are discovering that the patterns shaping a cell, a tree, a geodesic dome and the human body are perhaps not so different after all.

I hope this clip gives you a flavour of the latest episode.

You can watch or listen on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

In this week's episode, out now, I explore why tensegrity is far more than an architectural principle. It offers a way of recognising the patterns that organise nature itself - and, in turn, the living architecture within each of us...

It's a beautiful continuation of the journey we've begun through Sacred Geometry, following the threads that connect Leonardo da Vinci, Kenneth Snelson and now Buckminster Fuller.

I'd love for you to join me.

You can watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts.

Kenneth Snelson is one of those remarkable people whose work quietly changed the way we understand the living body.

In this week's episode, I explore his extraordinary discovery of floating compression and why it offers such a profound way of understanding fascia, movement, and the living architecture that already exists within each of us.

If you'd like to explore this beautiful story and discover why his ideas continue to shape our understanding of the body today, I'd love for you to join me.

You can watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts. And I'd love to hear any thoughts or a-ha moments 💙✨

Leonardo da Vinci looked at the human body without the assumptions of his time and saw something remarkable. Something that, in many ways, science is still unfolding today...

If you haven't caught the latest episode where we explore his story, you can catch it now on YouTube or the podcast to hear:

* Why Leonardo began with seeing rather than theory
* The hidden geometric significance of the Vitruvian Man
* How the body expresses multiple centres of organisation
* Why sacred geometry is woven throughout living anatomy
* The relationship between Leonardo's observations and modern fascia research
* How reductionist anatomy lost sight of the body's living architecture
* Why genuine discovery begins with the courage to look differently

You can watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts.

With love and light,
Joanne ✨

It's extraordinary to think that Leonardo da Vinci was drawing patterns over 500 years ago that modern science is only now beginning to explain.

He wasn't simply creating beautiful illustrations. He was observing the living body with such care and attention that he recognised something fundamental about how we're organised long before the language of fascia, tensegrity, or living architecture existed.

Moments like this remind me that genuine discovery often begins not with having more information, but with learning to look more deeply.

I hope this little clip encourages you to watch the full episode on YouTube (or listen on your favourite podcast platform if you prefer). I think Leonardo still has a great deal to teach us.

With love and light,

Joanne ✨

Out later today - a special episode exploring Leonardo da Vinci's connection to Sacred Geometry ✨

Long before the language of fascia, tensegrity, or living architecture existed, Leonardo was asking different questions. Through meticulous observation, fearless curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to direct experience, he revealed patterns of proportion, movement, and organisation that continue to shape our understanding of the living body today...

I do hope you'll join me for this exploration, over on The Joanne Avison YouTube channel or podcast ✨
