Natural Health Conference 2007 General and Panel Sessions The 2007 conference offers four general or panel sessions. These sessions bring the entire conference community together for learning and sharing.
Friday morning: General Session In ancient cultures, people's identity encompassed their family, their tribe, the forest, and even the whole earth. To think that we could be healthy in a sick community or sick planet would be as absurd as someone having a heart attack saying, “I'm perfectly healthy, it's just my heart that is sick.” Health comprises much more than bodily integrity; it also includes healthy relationships, including social relationships. Too often, these relationships are projected into the body, contributing to autoimmune disorders and chronic illnesses. Building healthy communities is essential to our collective healing on a societal, planetary, and individual level. Our civilization now faces a healing crisis that parallels the very issues holistic healers are addressing in the human body. “To heal” means to return to wholeness, and that includes all dimensions --social as well as physical -- of our fractured selves. This class offers new insights into how to “view the whole person,” and illuminates the broader social significance of our healing work.
Friday lunch: General Session Enjoy a slide show tour of her meetings and interviews with elder healers around the world. This is an honoring, a remembering, as we meet via photo’s and story telling remarkable elders who influenced the herbal teachers of today. In this delightful and memorable slide presentation, you’ll meet such notables as Ann Wigmore, Dr. Christopher, Juliette de Bairacli Levy, Adele Dawson, Bernard Jenson, and many others who had a profound influence on American herbalism.
Saturday morning: General Session Each natural, social, and economic system within a community interacts with neighboring communities to form a larger regional community. All of these regional communities interact until they come together in a global community. Local communities must be healthy in order to have a healthy global community, just as the individual cells in our bodies must be healthy in order for it to be healthy. Learn how we can become dynamically cooperative for the health of our global community.
Saturday lunch: Explore the process of detoxification with our esteemed group of panelists as they approach the subject from their unique, professional points of view: herbal, homeopathic, nutritional, and seasonal.
