"There is a goodness, a Wisdom that arises, sometimes gracefully, sometimes gently, sometimes awkwardly, sometimes fiercely, but it will arise to save us if we let it, and it arises from within us, like the force that drives green shoots to break the winter ground, it will arise and drive us into a great blossoming like a pear tree, into flowering , into fragrance, fruit, and song...into that part of ourselves that can never be defiled, defeated, or destroyed, but that comes back to life, time and time again, that lives-always-that does not die."
- China Galland, The Bond Between Women

Meditation and Medicine:
Exploring the Vital Role of Contemplative Disciplines
in MindBody Medicine & the Healing Arts
with Joel & Michelle Levey This program distills essential insights from decades of research and experience developed in teaching Meditation and Medicine programs to thousands of physicians, faculty, nurses, students, and other health caring professionals around the globe. Drawing inspiration from diverse contemplative traditions, participants will explore practices from five categories of meditation - Concentration, Mindfulness, Reflective, Creative, and Heart-Centered - each of which have profoundly practical benefits for both clinicians and patients. Understanding a variety of practices that are easy to learn and teach helps to expand the range of options of what to recommend to patients, and also provides clinicians with a wealth of material and insights to improve their own self-care, well-being, clinical performance, and interpersonal relationships while actively engaged in helping others.
