38779 - Integrative Approaches to Wellness
Course Overview
For much of the last century physical wellness and mental health have been siloed within their respective institutions, vocabularies and conceptualizations. On the upside, this separation likely helped each discipline focus and develop in important ways. On the downside, it perpetuated a mind/body dualism that obscured the essential unity of physical and mental wellness, and unnecessarily limited the resources offered to patients who suffer - 100% of the time - in both body /and /mind. Happily, in the last two decades, integrative medicine has offered patients and providers a unifying path forward. A path that acknowledges body itself IS mind, and mind itself IS body. Integrative approaches are now shedding great light on both sides of the equation and opening new doors to understanding and promoting well-being.
Join us for an exploration of the fundamentals of integrative medicine. We will together learn and practice 12 core cognitive, behavioral, physical and relationship skills that recruit body and mind in the service of wellness. We’ll learn how we can boost immunity with these practices, extend health span (years of healthy life) and deepen our understanding of how each day offers multiple opportunities to live a more joyful, peaceful and authentic human life.
