🔎 GET an up close look at different regions of human anatomy. Our area of focus changes from lab to lab. It depends on which specimens are available, as well as team interests. From the pelvis to the foot, there is always something exciting to be seen.
🔎 STUDY alongside the AnatomySCAPES team. Your participation helps SUPPORT our current research and educational programs.
What to expect from DissectionCLUB
Each DissectionCLUB day starts with a discussion circle where we will plan out the day’s projects. You will have the option to assist on a project or develop your own dissection skills with just the right amount of direction and support you need.
Each new DissectionCLUB member will be given instruction on the dissection skills required to reveal the three primary AnatomySCAPES: Skin, the Cloud Body (Superficial Fascia), and the Deep Diving Suit (Deep Fascia). Dissection CLUB’s relaxed, supportive atmosphere allows you to learn and explore in a safe and respectful environment.

Jane Blount
Bodyworker & Movement Specialist
"It was such an amazing experience to be in the lab with you. My capacity to be with my clients is deeply enhanced by being witness to the internal spaces of the body. I feel more appreciative of these amazing bodies in which we live. I look forward to getting into the lab again!"
Jamie Mossay
Prenatal Bodyworker & co-author of The Breech Release
"AnatomySCAPES Labs are more than just a dissection - they are an embodied and human-paced experience of fascia and connections that will forever change your touch and understanding of the body, while being held in a loving respectful container."
Is DissectionCLUB right for you?
DissectionCLUB is a safe space for bodyworkers and other hands-on professionals to explore and deepen their understanding of anatomy together through the art of dissection. We approach it with reverence and respect.
But working in an anatomy dissection lab is a BIG DEAL and can be a lot to take in. How can you know if it is right for you?
DissectionCLUB is right for you if:
- You have and abundant CURIOSITY and reverence for the human body.
- You like learning and being a part of a TEAM (this is a CLUB, after all).
- You can be comfortable with the discomfort of learning NEW SKILLS. Rachelle makes dissection look easy, but it's a skill to learn.
- You have the willingness to UNLEARN as much as you LEARN. No matter how many times we go into the lab, we un-learn what we thought was true as much as we learn new things.
A peek inside the lab:
Check out fascia specialist and AnatomySCAPES co-Director Rachelle Clauson teaching a group of bodyworkers about skin ligaments.
As bodyworkers, we always want to jump to the muscle anatomy. But we can't touch muscles, without going through skin and fascial layers first.
