setting the standard for excellence in mind body medicine training

Conference Invitation

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our annual Conference...as you look through the conference brochure, I hope you'll discover, not just a collection of courses, but an array of opportunities and challenges: opportunities that can open up your practice to new ideas and challenges that really can build your skills with cutting-edge treatments.

Important, too, will be our time together. I don't have to tell you how fragile and unsteady our world feels, and in recognizing this reality comes tremendous professional responsibility. That's why our connecting and reconnecting within a spiritually positive community becomes so important. In strengthening our bonds of collective energy, we can replenish and rejuvenate ourselves and, upon returning home, bring to our patients the kind of care-giving that promotes their self-healing.

In addition to innovative ideas that provide you with tools and treatments that work, will be time for personal renewal and healing. Often, we're so focused on the learning of effective techniques and strategies to use with our patients and clients that we forget about the importance of restoring who we are as practitioners and caregivers, which in truth, contributes so much to the success of our interventions.

The Psychology of Health, Immunity, and Disease Conference really is about the wholeness of mind/body medicine...bringing you together with others to explore the latest in successful treatments, to become grounded in the wisdom of ancient traditions, and then to implement this new knowledge and understanding into your own practice.

This coming December, 2009, at Hilton Head, can be a time to awaken and reawaken the human spirit...be part of an exceptional community, gain insights from pioneers in the field, and enjoy friendships that connect and reconnect. I so look forward to being there with you to learn, relax, and have fun.

Best,
