Did you ever wonder when your heart starts ticking, or how an embryo decides it's time to be born?
For those interested in an in-depth consideration of the process of life, attend a workshop from Thursday, June 6, to Sunday, June 9, at the Chaster House in Gibsons.
The workshop will examine the creative principles and forces working through the human being from gestation through birth to maturity, led by renowned embryologist Jaap vander Wal, associate professor, University of Maastricht.
The workshop will alternate lectures and discussions with practical exercises such as form drawing and body movement.
Participants will come away with notes and diagrams along with a better understanding of phases of embryonic development and how those phases affect us as adults.
Vander Wal specializes in functional human anatomy and teaches anatomy, embryology and medical anthropology.
"Comprehending embryological forces supports a holistic approach to health," vander Wal said. "Because the same forces that formed the body are continuously at work through life, carrying the blueprint of health into manifestation."
