faculty of physicians and healers

A intensive, longitudinal program for individuals to
foster evolving holistic clinical, personal, and global perspectives
in the healing arts, creating a foundation for being more effective
and compassionate health care providers, and more informed and engaged
consumers or advocates. This program will engage the participant
in multi-level learning and personal transformation. The access to
faculty mentors, study support groups, interdisciplinary networking,
and the wealth of curriculum and experiential learning, promises
to be a unique offering for the professional who is looking to take
their healing work to a whole new level. Through interactive, experiential,
self-exploratory, and dialectic processes, professionals will explore
the following five areas and their role in health and healing:
- Transcultural, cross disciplinary and integrative
health care approaches
- Environmental and Ecological issues in healing ourselves and our
planet
- Interdisciplinary Community Building and healthy interpersonal Relationships
- Personal Ecology—Choices for a Healing
Life
- Spirituality and opportunities for transformation
Our environment and teaching methods are purposefully chosen to
increase our comfort with paradox by valuing all of the following:
- Power of intellect and of the body, emotions and spirit
- Power of knowledge and of wisdom
- Power of externally validated and objective ways of knowing and the
power of internally validated and subjective ways of knowing.
- Power of both rationality and intuitive truth.
- Power of reason and of passion and discernment
- Power of rigorous skepticism and of wonder.
 This program is co-sponsored by the American
Holistic Medical Association www.holisticmedicine.org and
is ideally designed to meet the needs of physicians and health
care practitioners who which to expand their
understanding of and comfort with the evolving field of Holistic
Medicine.
This 18-month
Professional Training program in “Transformative
Medicine: The Alchemy of Healing” will begin in Octomber
of 2006, and will include both onsite learning during four, week-long
retreats
between 2006 and 2008, with distance learning via assignments,
web-based instruction and faculty support during the interim months.
Specifics
of curriculum breakdown and content in each retreat are contained
in Curriculum section, including an example day. The four week-long
retreats are in October 2006, April/May 2007, October 2007, and
May 2008, usually running Friday to Friday. The program intentionally
spreads
the retreats over a period of time that impacts 3 calendar years,
to make it easier for professionals to obtain necessary leave time
from work, and spread out CME dollars. Break times over holidays
and summers support the balanced approach to life and encourage
participants to have family and personal vacation time.
All content is initially introduced in person, by the instructor,
during a retreat, and is followed up and explored in more depth through
directed home study, with web and phone support. Most home-based
content consists of a weekly lesson and assignment, available via
video on the web-site. Participants expected time commitment (apart
from personal practice) outside of the retreat sessions is an average
of 5 hours per week, plus one experiential exercise.
(See the outline under curriculum.)
At the completion of this program, participants will
be able to:
- Compare and contrast the history, philosophy, principles and
practices of conventional and non-conventional approaches
to health and healing;
- Apply a comfortable working vocabulary
in clinical/professional settings, of terms and concepts from
different healing
paradigms, models, and traditions—spanning cultures
and disciplines.
- Participate in and expand a network of conscious community,
both regional and national, to support individual
and shared healing purposes.
- Have the vocabulary, skill sets and desires to consciously
develop healthy relationships in their home, work
and community environments;
and to understand how such relationships are critical
to a healing life.
- Become an active advocate, linking health and medicine
with ecology and the environment.
- Apply a holistic framework in one’s
own life to enhance personal growth and health, and to become
an example
for others
in leading a healing life.
- Create a path forward for their continuing physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual evolution
and transformation, fueled
by a thriving
sense of awe.
