What brings peace of mind? In this lecture we will explore what I like to think of as practical spiritual guidance covering the following concepts.

CLAITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS BECOMING THE INSTRUMENT-l hour
In this lecture/practicum, we will explore the philosophy that a human being is able to clear out physical and mental interferences that prevent us from connecting within and finding guidance.

We will study a model of the mind taught by yoga philosophy and apply this and learn a simple technique for meditation that you can practice at home to help you develop this clarity we seek.

HEALING POWER OF FLOWER ESSENCES!
Flower essences are subtle liquid extracts made from flowers. When taken orally they have a profound healing effect on the emotional well being, soul development of the individual. Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930's, discovered the precise application of flower essences for specific emotions and attitudes. Some examples are Star of Bethlehem for shock or trauma, Bleeding Heart, for the loss of a relationship, and Walnut, for changes in life, or transitional periods of adjustment. Come learn how to use these wonderful healing gifts from nature.

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy is natural, safe, low-cost and easy-to use system of medicine practiced all over the world.

They work by enabling the energy to flow more naturally throughout the person. We will discuss the major principles involved such as how to select the remedy, what potency, and how often to give it, using personal stories and case examples. Then you can try it on your own!

BOOSTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Our immune system is invaded daily by air, dust particles, food and other factors. Agents can effect your body, and while the vast majority of these organisms do not produce disease, your immune system can become weakened.

First, on the physical level there are foods to avoid and foods and supplements to include that can dramatically affect immune function. Second, we will approach the energy part of the human being through Chinese medical theories, homeopathy and the relaxation response. Thirdly, we will briefly discuss the effect of attitude and values on health and healing

WHAT IS HOLISTIC MEDICINE?
Holistic medicine is both a philosophy and a technique. The philosophy involves using symptoms or conditions of illness to help a person grow and learn about themselves as well as empower their health. The technique involves many tools such as: nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, exercise, introspection - all designed to facilitate the development of the person rather than simply cover up symptoms. Come join Dr. Gore who is a pioneer in this field. He will discuss these concepts including case examples and answer any question you may have.

The second have of the session would include examples of couple's therapy in which homeopathy, traditional medication, flower essences and meditation was all useful. We will leave time at the end for process and integration.

HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY
In this workshop I would like to process the appropriate use of individual and or couples and family therapy. Specific to the therapy I would like to explore a combination of psychodynamic therapy along side humanistic psychotherapy such as Gestalt therapy and the use of stress reduction techniques within the therapy milieu. We would explore these ideas with lecture, case examples, practicum, and processing.
Jerry Gore, M.D.

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SPIRITUALITY - AN INTEGRATED VIEW
During the process of therapy, we work to transform old unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviors, using psychological skills. At some point in the work, issues come up that are better thought of as 'spiritual' such as marriage, intuition, life purpose, faith, and death. At this point, I believe that spiritual philosophy and technique are required to continue the journey of self discovery and healing, Please join us for a discussion that integrates the worlds of psychology and spirituality in a practical way.
Jerry Gore, M.D.

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND MEDITATION-1 hour
Dr. Gore has twenty years of experience in blending a psychodynamic and humanistic therapy background with spiritual concepts such as faith, selflessness, divine purpose, prayer, and meditation.
