Life’s Excellent Adventure: Naming and Claiming Your Whole Person Health

Dates: November 18; December 2, 9, 16, 2018
Facilitated By: Dwana Bush, M. D.; Aleksandra Jeremic, MS, LPC
The Whole Person Health Assessment was developed over 25 years by Dr. Bush with input from scientific colleagues in the process of daily patient care. “We want more health, not just more health care”. Aleksandra Jeremic, a licensed therapist is assisting her in expanding the application as a tool to guide collaborative care strategies between healing practitioners and the clients and communities they serve.
“Health is soundness of body, mind and spirit that satisfies you and allows you to make a meaningful difference to others”.

Participants will complete a confidential 20-minute online assessment one week prior to the first session. Your responses will only be seen by Dwana and Aleksandra. A personalized graphic “snapshot” will be provided to each attendee in a sealed envelope on the first day of the class. Responses are displayed in a graph strengths and challenges in four major areas:

1) Resilience (energy, pain, limitations from physical and emotional challenges)
2) Relationships (spiritual, family, friends)
3) Sacred Reciprocity (making a difference from a foundation of balanced give-and-take)
4) Stewardship (Self-care and Earth-care)
