Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

Cost: $95 (lunch will be available to purchase)

Dr. Joan Borysenko's best-selling book, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind, was one of the first books to explore the effect of meaning and emotions on physical health, and has become a classic in the field, selling over 400,000 copies. The 20th anniversary edition was released in 2007. This engaging, evidence-based interactive workshop presents research in the mind/body connection — from immunology to neuroscience — as well as practical methods to maximize the positive influence of attitude and behavior on health. The role of the relaxation response, mindfulness, optimism and pessimism, gratitude and forgiveness will be addressed.

Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. is a distinguished pioneer in integrative medicine. Joan is a world-renowned expert in the mind/body connection. Her work has been foundational in an international health-care revolution that recognizes the role of meaning, and the spiritual dimensions of life, as an integral part of health and healing.
Her brilliance, humor, and authenticity — in combination with the latest research — make her a compelling and inspiring speaker and writer.
