Transformation - Individuals in Balance | Families in Harmony - A Landmark Conference on Traditional Chinese Medicine for Eastern and Western Health-Care Professionals

OVERVIEW

Building Bridges of Integration for Traditional Chinese Medicine – Transformation: Individuals in Balance; Families in Harmony is a landmark educational forum on traditional Chinese medicine for Eastern and Western health-care professionals interested in exploring this medical system's growing role in integrative and complementary health care.

No one exists in isolation. Deep within our consciousness, we recognize that at the energetic level we are all connected. Gradually, more of us are beginning to recognize and appreciate this expanded reality and its influence on health and well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has perceived these connections for millennia. In its healthiest state, the family and its members reflect a microcosmic version of the Universe's harmonic connections. The health of the whole is dependant on the health of the parts.

Whether you belong to a nuclear family, an extended family, a blended family or define your "family" broadly in terms of the energetic relationships you share with those in your life, including patients, Building Bridges of Integration for Traditional Chinese Medicine 2007 offers a unique educational forum where you can gain new insights about health and healing. This year we focus on how to help individuals in particular, and families in general, become their healthiest.

Our goal is to provide an intimate, thought-provoking experience that will refresh you personally and stimulate you professionally.
