Groups of 6-7 participants per donor form dissect layer-by-layer each day, a journey that is undertaken with both reverence and excitement for the great gift of learning. We create an environment of teamwork, enthusiasm, and excitement, while intending to bring what we discover to the world; faculty bring their experience to create a space that affords an opportunity to learn at many levels. This profound journey will radically transform your understanding of anatomy ~ and yourself.

July 21-31, 2025: 6+4 Day Fixed with Nerve Tree Focus
This 6+4 day, fixed program is comprised of two parts. The first 6 days (July 21-26) are a soft-tissue immersion, where you will work through the textural layers of a fixed form as we do in the regular 6-Day course. Then we have a well-earned day off on July 27.
This is followed by a 4-day extended study session (July 28-31) to detail the branches of the nerve tree as well as reveal autonomic and central nervous system structures, including the brain and spinal cord. This work is tedious, meticulous and demanding of one's utmost attention. This detailed work is also extremely rewarding and can only be accomplished through working with a fixed form. This is an unparalleled opportunity to study with Gil in the lab for ten very full days!
COST: $4,500. Non-refundable deposit: $1,500.

September 29-October 4: 6-Day Unfixed
The 6-Day Intensive Hands-On Human Dissection Workshop is the tried-and-true, time-tested original program taken by thousands of courageous somanauts over the last 30 years. This is the unfixed (preserved only by refrigeration) version of that course, which offers additional insights into the movement of textural layers though some features are less available for study (such as the central nervous system). Through hands-on dissection, you will work for six days dropping through the textural layers of an unfixed form with a group of peers. We will work carefully with skin, superficial fascia/adipose, perifascia, deep fascia, muscle tissues, viscera and bone. This is an unparalleled opportunity to study with Gil in the lab for a whole week!
Cost: $3,000. Non-refundable deposit: $1,000.
October 20-25, 2025: 6 Day Fixed
The 6-Day Intensive Hands-On Human Dissection Workshop (fixed) is the tried-and-true, time-tested original program taken by thousands of courageous somanauts over the last 30 years. Through hands-on dissection, you will work for six days dropping through the textural layers of a fixed form with a group of peers. We will work carefully with skin, superficial fascia/adipose, perifascia, deep fascia, muscle tissues, viscera and bone, as well as dissect the central nervous system, which is one of the important advantages of working with the fixed forms. Working with fixed tissue enables one to experience with clarity the actual shape of the muscles and organs as they are revealed and differentiated. Fixed tissue also offers a greater ease in exploring the glands, viscera, muscle tissue, central nervous system (including the brain), and the pars intima. This is an unparalleled opportunity to study with Gil in the lab for a whole week!
Cost: $3,000. Non-refundable deposit: $1,000.
