AHMA President Molly Roberts, MD, featured on The Integrator Blog

Molly Roberts, MD: On the Mending of the Town-Gown Split in Integrative Medicine and the Holistic Medical Association's Role in I.M.
It seems that for many years, there had been a focus on how each Integrative Medicine organization was different and unique from each other, and I do believe that this was a necessary part of our field's evolution. This is actually a very common phase in any group's evolution and is to be expected during the growth of a new way of thinking. However, being separate and unique also diminishes our collective strength. We each do better individually when our profession as a whole is healthy and strong.
Working together for the common good resonates with our holistic proclivities and the time is right to do so. There is a real movement afoot for us each to recognize how much we agree on instead of focusing on those smaller areas where we differ.

Henry Emmons, MD, author of the nationally acclaimed The Chemistry of Joy, The Chemistry of Calm and The Chemistry of Joy Workbook, has led healing retreats for over 20 years. His practice is dedicated to the holistic application of psychiatry and he has developed programs for patients and providers that activate their own innate resiliency. In his writing and his work with clients he emphasizes mindfulness practice, holistic nutrition and ayurvedic principles to promote a sense of wellbeing that is both accessible to the Western mind and imbued with age-old wisdom.
In this weekend retreat, Henry will share his approach to building a practice that is rejuvenating for the provider while creating a model for how we care for our patients.
Join us to explore your own path to resilience. Based on his written work, this retreat will include principles of functional and holistic nutrition to maintain a healthy mind, mindfulness-based spiritual practices and more. In this acclaimed program, Henry will use stories, personal reflections and discussion in small and large groups to look at what makes the inner lives of healers uniquely life-giving. The workshop will feature discussions on the core factors in resilience, their scientific basis and how they can help one achieve greater vitality, equanimity, openness and connection.
Topics will include:
Ø The pathways to a joyful life
Ø Reflective practices for enhancing intuition and self-knowledge
Ø Creating trustworthy environments
Ø Navigating personal and professional transitions

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
 You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. We realized (again) at last year's retreat, The Healer Within, that you, as well as each member, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Steve Cadwell; bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs or other applicable education credits. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Claudia. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members! | |
