CLAYTON COLLEGE PRESENTS—
Natural Health Conference 2006
Weaving a Tapestry of
Natural Health
General Sessions
This year the conference features three general sessions,
each meant to intertwine with the energy of the individual days and the
spirit of the conference as a whole.
| FRIDAY, APRIL 21 |
 |
|
Begin your conference experience on a philosophical note
with Stewart Mitchell on Friday morning in “The Meaning of Our Health
and the Health of Our Meaning.” Traditional naturopathy is unique
in that it explores with equal enthusiasm the need to be well and the
concept of being “successfully ill.” The struggling client
is helped not only with how to get healthy, but also with how to reach
an understanding of the role of illness in personal growth and transformation.
| SATURDAY, APRIL 22 |

Unite the feminine and masculine energies inherent in all
societies with Christine Page Saturday afternoon in “The Emerging
Feminine.” In the past 20 years we have seen a strong surge to reinstate
the feminine in all aspects of our society. The increasing acceptance
of complementary medicine by mainstream medicine is a wonderful example
of the emerging feminine energy in our society. Join Christine as she
encourages each of us to honor our intuition, listen to the body’s
wisdom, and re-establish a natural balance within.
| SUNDAY, APRIL 23 |

Tie all of your threads together on Sunday in a special
closing session with herbalist David Winston in “Duykta: The Cherokee
Path of Becoming Human.” In Cherokee tradition, we are born two-legged
animals and one of our jobs is to become human (humane). This process
of remaking your self is not easy, nor does it occur without intention,
great effort, and commitment. In this closing session, David will explain
how a truly integrated societal medicine is needed to help us become whole
and healthy. We need to be aware not only of our own bodies, minds, and
spirits, but also of our connection to family, community, the Earth, and
to Spirit. This is what indigenous cultures see as holistic medicine.
It not only heals us, but it also enriches our families, communities,
and Ela, the Earth.
