Forgive my thoughtlessness. This summer it dawned on me that the 2000 people in Yoga Hillsboro’s student community list may want to share time with one another about the challenges, joys and successes of healing and staying well. After all, that is why we all show up here: learning and sharing how we might heal and stay well from in inside out!
It turns out that many doctors and therapists are in our community of students and would also be willing to learn and share something about what they know.
So . . . here we go! On a Saturday evening we will gather here. The theme at this Gathering will be Meeting Illness with Courage & Kindness.
Bring two things: 1) a question about how how you might be able to meet, deal with a difficlut diagnosis, 2) something to say about how you or someone you know met illness with courage and kindness.
We have the good fortune to have Dr. Kathy Alvarez, MD of Partners in Wellness willing to come that evening and share her experiences with us.
All welcome to this event. Register to RSVP because there is limited space. Saturday, October 21st; 5-6:30pm. Hope to share this with you! — Brant

Medical and psychotherapeutic treatments can often be miraculous in their ability to cure a pathology. A wonderful gift modern science offers us. That is only part of the story.
Our innate capacity to heal is the larger story, the context of living well even in the face a severe illness. The relationships we have with our physicians, therapists, families, friends and with our minds and bodies are that larger context of health and well-being. However important these relationships are, they are too often ignored or minimized in our fast-paces, goal-oriented world striving to cure with is wrong with us.
We have the privilege of sharing the evening with counseling psychologist Dr. Stephanie Conn, the author of her upcoming book on meeting stress and enhancing resilience, Increasing Resilience in Police and Emergency Personnel: Strengthening Your Mental Armor. She will be in conversation with us about her experience supporting folks in high-stress professions as they do their best with her and her colleagues to heal, stay well, and be resilient in the face of immense stress.
Also, during the evening we may listen to some of the wisdom of physician Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen on her OnBeing radio interview on NPR’s Onbeing program: Listening Generously.
We may also share some passages from her best-selling books about the art and science of medicine in the context of healing: Kitchen Table Wisdom. She is no stranger to acute illness having been diagnosed with a debilitating and life=threatening illness in her teens that her doctors said would kill her by her 40th birthday. She is now nearing 80 having had a thriving medical practice, many years of training physicians, and two best-selling books about the art of healing in one’s unique, personal and powerful way.
So. . . . Let’s have a conversation with one another about this during this evening together.
Bring along your willingness to have a conversation, enjoy yourself, learn, and meet some nice people.
