Connecting the Cell and the Self (7 part Webinar)

Dis-ease tells a story, not just about our cells and a diagnosis, but of ourselves and our lives. We’ll explore how biography becomes biology, and how listening to our life stories connects us to our authentic being. The focus of this 7-week course will be to integrate the study, practice and clinical application of mindfulness and mind-body therapies. The principles and practices of mind-body medicine will be explored through lecture, discussion, guided experiential exercises, case studies, assigned readings, and practical homework.

This will be a personal and professional journey that leads us to become better physicians and our best selves.
