yes, we talk about fascia, and integral anatomy, and also about examining beliefs, eradicating dogmas, paths to the divine, and finding beauty amidst the muck and mire of life.

here is a short Bio from Gil’s website, www.Gilhedley.com

“I, Gil Hedley, Ph.D., earned my doctorate in theological ethics from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, and also became a Certified Rolfer at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO, back in the early ’90s. My combined interests and training has supported my personal exploration of the human body and led me to develop an integral approach to the study of human anatomy. Through hands-on human dissections courses in the laboratory and lecture presentations, I have encouraged thousands of fellow “somanauts” to appreciate, explore and embody the wonders of human form. I have published a number of books, as well as produced The Integral Anatomy Series, a set of four feature-length videos documenting my whole body, layer-by-layer approach through on-camera dissection.

The material available at www.gilhedley.com represents my current intention to bring Integral Anatomy to the world via online courses, presentations and content designed to cultivate a deeper experience and appreciation of the human form on the part of all who share an interest in the gift of the human body.”

Ann speaks about the nature of reality, universal consciousness, the ego mind, trauma, and healing. To find out more about her work go to https://www.kumuconsulting.com/rtnf.html

Derrick has written over 25 books, his latest is titled “The Myth of Human Supremacy”. He talks about that, animal sentience, universal morality, and many other interesting things in this interview.

My assertion is that individualism and collectivism, while at play in modern socio-economic and political systems, are actually fundamental competing drives in both biological evolution and in our consciousness itself.
