In this 5.5 hour online talk, Gil will share the latest research and discoveries from his incredible five month journey dissecting the nerve tree. Through visual presentation, lecture, stories, and guided embodiment exercises, Gil will demonstrate the details of both the central and peripheral nervous system. This exploration will include a deep dive into the autonomic plexuses, the sympathetic trunk, the role of lymphatics, the course of the vagus nerve, and the main plexuses of the musculoskeletal system (cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral) ~ all from an Integral Anatomy perspective. Gil will also share details of the structure of the brain and their key relationships, including the ventricles, pineal and pituitary gland, gyri, cerebellum, cortex, and vasculature.

This 5 hr/CE credit course includes all 7 video segments from the Vancouver, BC presentation of the “What's the Fuzz?!” presentation filmed in 2017, as well as an assessment to review and reinforce the concepts presented in the talk, plus three bonus readings. Throughout the program you will explore and deepen your knowledge of the role of fascia in healthy movement, and movement limitations.

The course is based directly on Gil's more recent lab research at the time, expanding considerably upon what he presented as a keynote speaker at the British Fascia Symposium in 2016, and forming the basis of his 46 city speaking tour in 2017.

Several different types of fascia are explored with images and footage from the lab in order to explain the different anatomy and properties of the tissues that lend themselves to our movement function. You can expect to come away from this with a perspective that you can immediately apply in your life, in your professional work, and in your movement practice.

British Fascia Symposium Keynote 2020

• Video: 1 hour 13 minutes
• Reading: 5 minutes
• Review: 7 minutes

In this keynote presentation for the 2020 British Fascia Symposium, Gil shares new and remarkable insights on the properties of fascia as gleaned from his work with microscopic images in the lab. 

What’s The Fuzz?! (Embodiment Conference 2020)

• Video: 55 minutes

• Reading: 5 minutes

• Video: 54 minutes

• Reading: 5 minutes

• Review: 5 minutes

In this keynote address for The Embodiment Conference, Gil inspires and educates on the remarkable power and beauty of heart. Far more than being a “pump” in the middle of our chests, the heart is a whole body organ that refreshes the movement of the blood and acts as a profound and connecting leader in our relationship experience. 

Fascial Heart Conference

• Video: 1 hour, 20 minutes

• Reading: 5 minutes

• Review: 7 minutes

Join Gil for an 80-minute journey to explore the continuities, relationships, and connection of heart to its surrounding structures. You will explore the fascial layers of the heart, detail its relationship to the surrounding musculature such as the lungs, vessels, and respiratory diaphragm, and explore the heart’s capacity for movement. 

II World Congress of Fascia: Fascial Details of the Abdominal Wall

• Video: 2 hours, 46 minutes

• Reading: 5 minutes

• Review: 15 minutes

In this 2 hour and 46 minute presentation, Gil outlines the fascial details of the abdominal wall. In addition to learning about the movement potential that lies between the fascial layers, students will gain a deeper understanding of how the layers of the abdominal wall contribute to both the posterior and anterior rectus sheath. You will also have a better understanding of how the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall relate to the surrounding structures and tissues, such as the inguinal ligament, bony landmarks, and respiratory diaphragm.

In this course, our teacher and donor form is Margaret: a female, unfixed form. Through these sessions - captured in HD over the course of a six day journey in May 2020, we explore in detail through the textured layers of the body: skin, superficial fascia, deep fascia, perifascia, abdominal viscera, and thoracic viscera. Some of the special features of this donor form include an extended exploration of the superficial fascia, a tour of the heart and thoracic space (including the diaphragm), a tour of the kidneys and investigation of a knee replacement.
