Please join us for an incredible weekend of dynamic discussions, presentations and lectures featuring the authors of The Fourfold Path to Healing:
Tom Cowan M.D. is principal author of The Fourfold Path to Healing, has a family practice in San Francisco from where he serves patients across North America and trains medical professionals in holistic medicine and treatment. Dr. Cowan has served as vice president of the Physicians Association for Anthroposophical Medicine and is a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation. He publishes a free bimonthly newsletter, The Fourfold Path to Healing.
Sally Fallon is the founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and is a major spokesperson for wholesome nutrition. The author of the best-selling Nourishing Traditions, she travels the world, lecturing and teaching on healthy nutrition and traditional cuisine to thousands of people. Sally has also written numerous articles on the complex subject of diet and health for various health publications.
Jaimen McMillan is founder of the Spacial Dynamics® movement, the study of the interplay between the human being and space. His unique approach to movement and exercise studies the expression of emotion in the way we move, with emphasis on how we can improve our ability to heal. Some 300 students in the U.S. and Europe are currently being trained through the Spacial Dynamics® Institute.
“Blissful” … “perfect in every way” … “a life-changing experience”
These are but a few of the wonderful comments shared by some of the more than 160 participants in the inaugural Fourfold Path to Healing Conference held in July 2004 in Oakland, California.
