QUILL Lecture: Healthcare Made for You
Please join me for my lecture at Queen’s Institute for Lifelong Learning, Sunday October 5th at 2pm. We’ll explore the concept of personalized medicine and integrating a variety of healthcare modalities to make this a reality.
Integrative medicine recognizes the weaknesses inherent in many medical systems and brings together their strengths. We will discuss symptom based approaches vs. addressing the underlying cause of illness, and treating disease vs. supporting the health of the whole person, and prevention.
KIHC Open House in 4 weeks!
We’ve attached our poster here in hopes that your workplace or other location might be interested in the healthcare options we provide.
Workshop: Songs for Warriors
Learn to exult in the sharing of song, the beat of a drum, and the sounds of harmony. While not pretending to teach professional songwriting, with these workshops it is hoped that something will be conveyed of the spirit of bringing feelings to collective expression. Music and song heal. Music can be used to express joy, sorrow, pain, sympathy for others and grief for what has been lost. In the freeing up and sharing of voice in harmony and rhyme, layers and wellsprings of the self and its thoughts and feelings can be opened up and communicated. Examples of forms that can be put into song are prayer, mantra, Buddhist sayings (Lojong), hymns, and chants.
This workshop has been specifically developed for men who have been wounded in the line of duty, whether civic or military.
