Please read it!”

More Than Just a Webinar
Join us for a special international gathering as we celebrate the launch of this groundbreaking new book by Professor Guy Claxton and Emily Poel.
Hosted by Tim Logan (Future Learning Design Podcast) and Becky Carlzon (Learning Pioneers), this event is an opportunity to come together with educators, leaders, researchers, coaches, and curious humans from around the world who have been waiting for this book to land.
This is not a webinar.
It's a celebration, a conversation, and an inviting of new possibilities for ourselves and our students.
It's a chance to hear directly from Guy and Emily about the thinking, questions, experiences, and research that shaped the book and to explore together what these ideas might mean for the future of learning.
At a time when education can feel increasingly disconnected from what it means to be fully human, Bodies of Learning offers a timely and compelling invitation to rethink the relationship between body, mind, and learning.
Whether you've followed Guy's work for years, discovered Emily's thinking more recently, or are simply curious about how embodied approaches can transform learning, we'd love you to join us.

The Authors
Guy Claxton
Guy Claxton is a cognitive scientist, education thought leader, and author of The Future of Teaching and Intelligence in the Flesh, with decades of research on expanding human intelligence and applying learning science in real-world contexts.
Emily Poel
Emily Poel, a Berlin-based embodiment practitioner with a background in contemporary dance and history, has taught internationally for over fifteen years, developing practical methods that show how movement and physical awareness shape creativity, thinking, and learning.
"This is a foundational text for anyone serious about creating a more humane, effective, and intelligent future for our schools."
— Sheila Landers Macrine, Ph.D., Professor, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
"Bodies of Learning is a groundbreaking reimagining of education."
— Annie Murphy Paul, best-selling author of The Extended Mind
"It is astonishing that education still needs a book that lays this out so clearly, but we really do. And here it is!"
— Tim Logan, Partner at Good Impact Labs, and host of the Future Learning Design podcast
"But there is no more compelling reason than this remarkable revelation of the new embodiment science."
— Professor Anthony Mackay, Board Chair, National Center on Education & the Economy, Washington DC
