John Sharkey

Biotensegrity-Anatomy for the 21st Century

Track: Structure and Tensegrity 

Monday May 6th, 2019, at 7 pm EDT (New York)

Originally, in the 1980’s, John called his model the “one” theory, explaining that in human anatomy specifically and living anatomy generally there is only “one”. One everything. No separate parts, no pin joints, no linear forces, no contiguity only continuity. We grow ourselves. We self-develop. We self-emerge.

This presentation takes the listener on a new journey of discovery concerning the true nature of human embryology and living anatomy.  John believes that how we perceive our form and nature influences, negatively or positively, the way we see our inner and outer world, our ability to self-heal, our falsely held limitations and our poorly understood possibilities.

Biotensegrity-Anatomy for the 21st Century promotes a paradigm shift of biblical proportions. John delivers this complex topic in easy to understand, easy to grasp and in an easy to integrate manner based on a vocabulary and language that John has acquired and refined over a thirty-five-year career as a Clinical Anatomist, Exercise Physiologist and Human Movement Practitioner.

John considers fascia as the black matter of our inner universe providing the matrix for specialization along a continuum. This presentation will resonate with those seeking new explanations and descriptions of the human fascial net.
