In this episode, we explore the art of living, moving, sensing, and becoming with today’s guest, the brilliant and deeply insightful Dr. Joanne Avison, author of Myofascial Magic in Action.
In this soul-stirring conversation, Joanne takes us on a journey through the living terrain of the body, inviting us to rediscover ourselves—not as machines, but as unified beings of body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
Joanne calls metaphor a bridge—a sacred structure that carries us from the realm of abstract thought into the embodied wisdom of lived experience. Through this bridge, we navigate what I call Yin-sight: the subtle feminine way of seeing and sensing, rooted in fluidity, sensation, and stillness.
Together, we reflect on:
What it means to live in a world that still defines the body through the mechanistic metaphors of the past.
The archetypal story of Pinocchio, and how Myofascial Magic in Action offers us all the wish to finally be whole.
How metaphor reveals the magic within the mundane, the sacred in the simple, and the healing hidden in the body's knowing.
Joanne shares her collaborations with leading thinkers and somatic pioneers and challenges us to reconsider the very paradigms that have shaped anatomy and movement education for over 400 years.
This episode is a call to awaken—a call to feel more, to see differently, and to remember that the body is not a thing, but a living story. Enter the realm where science meets soul, where form meets function, and where the mundane becomes magical.
