June 11-13, 2010
Lewis Mehl-Madrona's story of searching for his ancestral roots became a story of seeking mind, body, spirit, and community integration. The need for a parallel path to biomedicine became apparent in medical school when he learned from the professor of medicine and pharmacology that "life was a relentless progression toward death, disease, and decay. The physician's job is to slow the rate of decline." By that weekend, Lewis had found a Cherokee healer with whom to study. That was 1973 and he hasn't stopped his studying with elders.
Please come join us in this workshop and experience your own balance among mind, body, spirit, and community.

Native American Bodywork Practicesby Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD

The Cherokee people of North America, for example, were well versed in body therapies and energy healing. They developed a comprehensive, sophisticated bodywork system that encompassed a form of osteopathic massage and manipulation, breath, and energy work. Central to this technique are the alternation of deep pressure and gentle rocking release. The breath was also used to reanimate the body and “draw spirit” into affected tissues. They also used crystal scanning and healing as well as the channeling of spirits and energy medicine. . . Read more by Clicking Here
