Weaving the World: Exploring Your Intrinsic Core

Join Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers and Christy Punnett, founder of Artemis Movement, for a week-long retreat on the beautiful island of St Vincent. Sink deeply into the literal center of yourself, and return to your ‘real’ life more deeply centered in what is truly meaningful.

Early bird price of $1800 USD held until December 27, 2026 / $2100 USD thereafter. Tuition only; does not include travel, lodging or extra activity fees.

This is not an exploration of the ‘correct’. This is tuning in to your body’s signals just below your level of awareness.

Map your own intuitive internal space, and decolonize the notions of the body that came with yoga, Pilates, personal training, and the like.

Come to the satisfying feeling of being your own authority.

In this journey, you will learn to see your own movement patterns and understand the patterns of others through Tom’s BodyReading visual assessment. You will rediscover forgotten places in your spine and belly through Christy’s deeply felt movement explorations.

Weave Tom Myers’ impactful insights on anatomy, posture, and movement with Artemis Movement, Christy Punnett’s internal movement practice, to expand your core movement ‘vocabulary’.

Specifically, Christy and Tom will focus on the Deep Front Line. Map your way through your intrinsic core that surrounds the organs, supports the pelvic floor, interacts with the vagus nerve, breathes with us, and allows us to speak and sing. Embodied integration leads to adaptability and resilience, so necessary in the coming years.

Teaching finishes at 3:00 each day, leaving afternoons free, and Friday, January 29th is a full day to explore the beauty of St Vincent.

What is Artemis Movement?

Artemis Movement is a somatic movement methodology developed by Christy Punnett over close to thirty years of embodied practice, and built on the Deep Front Line, the deepest of Tom Myers’s myofascial meridians. It has its own progression, its own teacher formation, and a teacher network across six countries. Its premise is that the Deep Front Line is sensing tissue first. Before it holds you up, it tells you where you are. What changes is where authority sits. You direct your own practice rather than reproduce a correct shape. Nothing is corrected toward a template, because there is no optimal body, only your body. You take the methodology into the way you move.
