Coupling insight-oriented meditation with journal-writing is an exceptionally powerful way to give our illness the voice we need to hear, and helps us explore and resolve the dilemmas and challenges that lie beneath the symptoms we experience. In a safe and nurturing environment, Dr. Mary Ann Wallace will guide participants through a series of meditation and journaling exercises designed to explore and deepen our understanding of the powerful links between mind and body and create a more integrated approach to spiritual and physical health.
