Integrative Medicine is a broad model combining the intelligent use of conventional, lifestyle, and holistic approaches. It is also underpinned by an understanding of complexity with interconnecting levels of health from sub-molecular to global and how illness can be affected by or show itself at these different levels.
How we as humans evolve at this point in time to deal with the complexity of modern living and the threats to the planet, demands an understanding of complex systems and what roles we play within them. It also asks deep questions about what we value in life, how we make sense of our lives which may require a paradigm shift in what we prioritize in achieving ‘health’.
Together we will explore where science can meet deep inner knowing, the theory and science of ecotherapy, the use of psychedelics in healthcare, the rise of the feminine as well as directly experiencing the breath and sound as techniques to support us with our personal, organisational and planetary journey of discovery.
