NEIL THEISE: How to understand complexity in a simple way

With his latest book Notes on Complexity (2023) and his contribution to the 2024 study Towards a Comprehensive Definition of the Human Fascial System, which maps fascia as a system composed of four organs, Professor Neil Theise has a unique ability to make highly complex topics understandable and accessible.

Audiences often describe his lectures as inspiring and eye-opening — and you usually leave with at least one life-changing insight.

SUE ADSTRUM: What is Fascia?

Fascia represents an entirely new way of seeing and understanding the human body — and it’s not easy to explain in a way that people truly grasp. Sue Adstrum, PhD, has made this her hallmark. In her book The Living Wetsuit, she explains complex anatomy and physiology in a clear and accessible way that anyone can understand.

She’s here to explain what fascia is — so that even if you’ve never heard of it before, you’ll walk away with a real understanding.

PER JOHANSSON: How our inherited ideas affect what we can imagine

Imagine walking into a library filled with the works of history’s most influential philosophers and thinkers — and being able to ask them exactly what they meant, and how it all relates to you and your life.
Per Johansson, a scholar in human ecology and the history of ideas, is well placed to guide such reflections. He has spent most of his life exploring what we think, how we think, and how our thoughts shape the world around us.

In this session, he’ll take you on a thought-provoking journey into how inherited ideas influence what we’re even capable of imagining about the future.

JEAN-CLAUDE GUIMBERTEAU: How realizing that the body is actually alive changes everything

There’s a reason why Jean-Claude Guimberteau’s presentations at fascia conferences over the years are often seen as highlights. A plastic and hand surgeon, he has spent four decades studying the workings of the human body. He is known for his pioneering work on the fascial system and for using intratissular endoscopy to reveal the architecture and spatial organization of living tissue.

Through his videos and imagery, he shows the living body in a way that transforms the viewer’s perspective — and something fundamental shifts in the way we see ourselves.
