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. This 3‐day course will integrate the study, practice and application of mindfulness and mind‐body therapies. The focus of this weekend will be personal self‐healing from an experiential context, which will serve as a foundation for using mind‐body medicine as a tool in clinical practice. This course is open to students, NDs and health practitioners looking to integrate mindfulness‐based practices, meditation, relaxation, stress reduction techniques, guided imagery, counseling and mind‐body healing into clinical practice.

Learn mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, mind‐body counseling and their clinical application!

Dr. Paul Epstein is a naturopathic physician, mind body therapist, mindfulness meditation teacher, speaker, workshop leader and author.

He uses mindful awareness and contemplative psychotherapy to guide patients on their self‐ healing journey. He graduated from NCNM, the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1984, where he did a residency in holistic medicine, stress and lifestyle counseling. He has successfully advocated the clinical application and integration of mind‐body‐spirit therapies in health care for 30 years exploring the mind‐body connection, how biography becomes biology, narrative medicine and the role of stress in health and disease. Paul was co‐founder of the Israel Center for Mind‐Body Medicine. He graduated from the Academy for Guided Imagery, completed the three‐year training program for Community Dharma Meditation Leaders at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and has trained in the “internal family system model” of psychotherapy.

The essence of Dr. Epstein’s teaching is integrating the healing journey and the spiritual path. It’s guiding people to explore and live questions, to see with new eyes and to embrace their pains, wounds and burdens… re-membering into their essential wholeness. He supports the conscious engagement of each patient’s inner wisdom and heart of compassion: their inner healer.

“In curing, we are trying to get somewhere, we are looking for answers.
In curing, our efforts are specifically designed to make something happen.
In healing, we live questions instead of answers. We hang out in the unknown.
We trust the emergence of whatever will be. We trust the insight will come.
The challenge in medicine is not the choice between one and the other. We need both.”
—Dr. Paul Epstein, featured in an article in the May/June 2007; issue of Spirituality & Health Magazine:

‘Healing vs. Curing’: The Living Questions

How did I come to be this way?
Dis-ease tells a story, not just about our cells and a diagnosis, but about our self and our life. Listening to the story, we are led to the truth of what happened to us and the emotions that lie at the core of our authentic being.

Am I willing to listen with the ears of my heart to the other voices of my self speaking?
“If there is a single definition of healing it is to touch with mercy and aware-ness those pains from which we have withdrawn in judgment and dismay.” —Stephen Levine, “Healing into Life and Death”

How can I be with my pain of mind, body and spirit in a way that is wise, compassionate and healing?
“When the mind is still, tranquil, not seeking any answer or solution even, neither resisting nor avoiding, it is only then that there can be a regeneration. Because then the mind is capable of perceiving what is true and it is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.” — Krishnamurti

“Healing is not a matter of setting the molecules straight, it is a matter of helping the one in need of healing into an experience of wholeness.” —Larry Dossey, MD

Lumbar and Pelvic Physical Medicine Training

Do You Want to Learn How to Adjust Someone TWICE Your Size?

That’s right, come and see for yourself during this amazing physical medicine seminar! Why is this seminar different than any other? Because not only will you learn alternative techniques, but you will learn how to palpate, assess, and understand “end-feel” or “locking out” a patient. This seminar is specifically designed for students struggling in physical medicine and not fully grasping this modality.

Physical Medicine Training – (Lumbar & Pelvic)
Dr. Kim Landi
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
SCNM Lab 4

Did you have trouble learning physical medicine and thought it just wasn’t a modality you would use in your future practice? 

Did you find it difficult to perform the manipulations because you didn’t understand what “end-feel” (that moment right before you adjust) was? 

Did you wonder how you were going to adjust someone of a greater stature than you? 

The Naturopathic Society has sought out the knowledge and experience of Dr. Kim Landi, ND, D.C from Oregon. She has been practicing for 27 years and has taught students at NCNM for several years. As a female Naturopathic Doctor and Chiropractor, she has been actively using physical medicine in her practice, adjusting patients of all ages, SIZES, and gender. She has graciously accepted to come and share her experience with us and will be teaching core techniques as well as alternative techniques. 

This lumbar and pelvic spine seminar will be a total of 8 hours divided into TWO 4 hour sessions.  May 9th-10th from 9am-1pm on both days. 

Spots are limited (24) priority to Nat Society members- reserve yours today!
