What the course explores

This course offers a world-first fascia-focused exploration of the relationship between eyesight, posture, movement, and the whole body, bringing the principles of Eyebody^® into direct anatomical enquiry.

During the week, participants will:

• Explore the fascial relationships of the eyes, skull, neck, and body
• Investigate how vision, perception, and posture influence one another
• Relate anatomical observation to movement, coordination, and embodied practice

The course examines the eyes not as isolated organs, but as part of a whole-body system of perception, orientation, balance, expression, and postural organisation. Through dissection, classroom teaching, and guided enquiry, participants will explore how the structures around the eyes connect with wider fascial and functional relationships throughout the body.

Learning takes place across multiple settings: the dissection lab, the classroom, and through guided movement and explorations of the Eyebody^® method. Throughout, participants are supported to translate what they see, feel, and experience into clearer anatomical understanding relevant to professional practice.

Who this course is for

This course is for practitioners who are curious about the relationship between eyesight, posture, movement, and the human body.

It will particularly resonate with professionals working in bodywork, movement, manual therapy, rehabilitation, vision education, healthcare, and human development who wish to deepen their understanding of fascia, anatomy, and the eye-body connection.

Previous dissection experience is not required. Participants will be guided carefully through the lab environment and supported throughout the week to build confidence with observation, palpation, and dissection.

Structure of the week

The course unfolds over seven days, starting with arrival, orientation and a visit to BodyWorlds Berlin including education with FR:EIA (Fascia Revealed: Educating Interconnected Anatomy), the world’s first fascia focussed plastinate. This is followed by six days of immersive learning at the Plastinarium in Guben.

Across the week, learning moves fluidly between the dissection lab, the classroom, and guided movement and vision-based explorations. The structure is designed to support gradual discovery, allowing participants to orient first before exploring the fascial relationships between the eyes, head, neck, and the wider body.

Each day combines observation, hands-on dissection, anatomy teaching, discussion, and reflection. Alongside anatomical exploration, participants will investigate the principles of Eyebody and consider how vision influences posture, movement, coordination, and whole-body organisation. Rather than following a rigid timetable, the course evolves with the group and the discoveries made in the lab, while remaining carefully guided by the course leaders.

The learning environment

The Plastinarium offers a rare and remarkable setting for anatomical education. Participants work in small groups with generous access to specimens, supported throughout by experienced dissectors and the Plastinarium team.

With no more than six participants per table, there is time to slow down, observe closely, and develop confidence with the tissues. Emphasis is placed on care, respect, and safety in the lab, creating an environment that feels both professional and supportive.
