Why Fascia?​

Fascia are mainly formed from water. As far as we know, this water is in structural order. Water binds itself peripherally to our main protein, collagen. This forms what can be called »fascia«: a comprehensive network of connective and supporting tissue, the human form, the body. The cells allow this aqueous form to develop and live. However, the form can also continue to exist independently of cells as a fascia network. The form can therefore be thought independently of the existence of cells, but never independently of water.

Why Leipzig?​

Leipzig seems to be a healing place. The Dalei Lama once called the city »holy«. It is large enough to accommodate numerous personalities who want to put their knowledge of mankind to practical use. Their reflections on fascias and their work at the university, at the colleges, at medical and paramedical institutions, at the theatres, at the opera and in the fine arts are increasingly noticed – beyond Leipzig’s borders. In the trade fair city itself, we regularly exchange ideas and information. This personal encounter should allow us to recognise the fascial form through the eyes of the other.

Why Fascia Leipzig?

If we form an extended group beyond the Leipzig area – the city as a nucleus, a place where we meet – we can jointly expand our knowledge of the fascial form: »Leipzig is a little Paris and educates its people« wrote Johann Wolgang von Goethe in the family album of his first study city. Let us show that he is right! To this day we know neither the essence of the human form nor its meaning. When we in Leipzig and beyond the borders of our city think about what form actually is, we hope to be able to draw salutary conclusions for our professions.
