The Architecture of Being Human
from The Joanne Avison Podcast · host Joanne Avison
Fascia, Geometry and How We Organise OurselvesIn this episode, Joanne explores how the human body is organised through hierarchy, heterarchy, and holarchy. These three complementary patterns form the deeper architecture of being human. Drawing from her book 'Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement' and Keith Critchlow’s 'The Hidden Geometry of Flowers', she reveals how archetypal geometries and fascia-informed anatomy help us understand ourselves as both individual and interconnected.Through clear examples such as letters, words, paragraphs, and pages, Joanne shows how each part of us is whole in itself and also part of a larger whole. This is the essence of a holarchy, and it mirrors how fascia, structure, consciousness, and community function.This episode is an invitation to see yourself not as a mechanical set of parts, but as a living architecture of meaning, pattern, and intelligence.In this episode: • Hierarchy, heterarchy and holarchy explained clearly • How the body holds order, pattern and relationship • Fascia as an organising and unifying intelligence • Archetypal geometries from nature to the human form • Keith Critchlow’s wisdom on hidden geometry • Why we are each a microcosm of a greater macrocosm • How structure and consciousness reflect each otherGET THE FIRST CHAPTER OF JOANNE'S BOOK FOR FREE!Simply visit joanneavison.com and enter your email to receive the first chapter of the groundbreaking 'Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement' #somaticmovement #fasciarelease #innerharmony #embodieddesign #humanarchitecture #JoanneAvison #fasciatherapy #lifedesignSIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTERSimply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.
