The Joanne Avison Podcast
The Joanne Avison Podcast is a journey into Spiritual Science, examining the sacred geometry of human form and motion and how the Fascia Matrix changes all we thought we knew about human bodies. Reflecting on her rich experience as a movement and manual therapy practitioner, Certified Archetypal Consultant, ordained minister and Doctor of Spiritual Science; Joanne challenges our assumptions of human anatomy, and asks us to consider the "Humans Being" as intimately relating "soma to soul" such that they can't really be useful separated. Joanne animates the true meaning of practical spirituality and the patterns of (our) body and being as one!! Told through artful storytelling and conversations with scientists, researchers, teachers, clients and curious fellow beings; this podcast will spark your curiosity of humans “being in bodies”, and inspire your life-long inquiry into who you really are.

Sacred Geometry: Donald Ingber and the Science of Tensegrity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if tensegrity isn't simply a theory, but something already at work inside every living cell?
In this episode of Sacred Geometry, Joanne Avison explores the groundbreaking work of Donald Ingber, the Harvard scientist whose research brought tensegrity into the laboratory and helped establish the field of mechanobiology.
Following the thread from Leonardo da Vinci, Kenneth Snelson, Buckminster Fuller and Tom Flemons, we arrive at the living cell itself, where Ingber demonstrates how tension, structure and force are communicated throughout the whole.
You'll discover:
- How sculpture inspired Ingber's scientific curiosity
- The experiment that demonstrated tensegrity in living cells
- Why cells respond to force as whole structures
- What mechanobiology reveals about movement, fascia and healing
- How geometry connects architecture, biology and the living human body
From geodesic domes to a single cell under a microscope, this episode takes us deeper into the science of tensegrity and the extraordinary living architecture already at work within you…

Joanne mentions Donald Ingber's landmark 1998 Scientific American article, “The Architecture of Life,” in this episode.
