Smith Farm Center for Healing and the Arts announces a free lecture by Michael Lerner, PhD: Healing from the Inside Out: The Regenerative Power of the Human Spirit, to be held Tuesday, May 4 at 6:30PM, 1632 U Street, NW.
This talk will explore how we might live best in the midst of today's great challenges: of our own personal struggles, of those we love, of our communities, of our country and of our planet. Do we each have personal "styles" of healing that we may strengthen? While natural, healing is not automatic, and can be blocked or facilitated. The intention of this talk is to help us discover ways to deepen our own unique, resources for healing.
As we answer the call to discover our personal philosophy of life or approach to spirit, we may heal at many levels -- in our body, our emotions, our mind, and our spirit. The quest for the unique ways we each heal best is a life-long journey. It is a process of growing in wisdom, learning to love better and making meaning out of suffering.
Healing from the Inside Outwill draw on approaches from the ancient shamanic traditions, the great contemplative and wisdom traditions, integrative medicine, the healing arts, and the psychological teachings of Carl Jung, Victor Frankl, Roberto Assagioli, and Parker Palmer.
