This evening, through lecture, discussion, guided imagery and meditation exercises, we will explore how to listen and discover the meaning of the stories our illnesses tell. (more…)

How Biography Becomes Biology… Healing and the Mind-Body Connection
Our disease may tell a story, not just of our cells, but of ourselves, by taking the risk of listening, we may be led to the emotions, both positive and negative, that lie at the core of our authentic being.
with Paul Epstein, ND
The talk will focus on utilizing integrative medicine in treating the person as a whole. There will be a discussion on how our life histories and life stories affect our health and how healing happens when we embark on a journey home to our true and authentic selves. We will explore how to integrate this perspective in the process of treating disease.
Whether one is led to find and choose this journey by the trauma of childhood wounds or the pain of addiction or physical illness and disease or difficult psychological symptoms, ‘all roads lead to Rome’. All healing is ’self’ healing, and all sickness is home sickness. Illness and pain can be an opportunity for healing and recovery, and as we listen to its meaning and message, the healing journey meets the spiritual path.
In this lecture, discussion and experiential workshop with guided imagery and guided meditations, we will ask and live the questions, ‘What is healing?’ and ‘Where and how does it happen?’. We will look to resolve the issue of how to be with our struggles, pain, stress and disease in a way that is wise, compassionate and healing?
