Entitled “Conversations With Bod—Decoding Symbolic, Archetypal and Spiritual Messages.” Workshop/Research Project
(PRWEB) March 12, 2005
Food cravings, body language and weight will be explored in an upcoming eight-week workshop and research project for women entitled “Conversations With Bod—Decoding Symbolic, Archetypal and Spiritual Messages.” The free workshop will be held 6:30-8:30 Monday evenings April 4-May 23 at The Integrative Medical Clinic of Santa Rosa, 175 Concourse Blvd., Santa Rosa (off of Airport Blvd).
An introductory lecture on the topic will be presented 6:30 pm, March 16 at the Integrative Medical Clinic of Santa Rosa.
The workshop presenter is Barbara Birsinger, a Registered Dietician and Masters of Public Health) and Sonoma County Chiropractor and Religious Science Practitioner, Josephine Smith.
Birsinger, a resident of Petaluma is also a PhD candidate at Holos University Graduate Seminary in Missouri which offers doctorate degrees in transpersonal psychology, integrative health care, and medical intuition.
Her cutting edge research “Effects of an Integral Spiritual Approach to Restoring Balance to Eating, Weight and Care of the Self” explores the relationship between healthy eating and healthy attitudes about food and body.
“My goal is to offer an eight-week education and training course with six and twelve months of follow-up,” said Birsinger. The workshop will offer a variety of methods to experience the energetics of eating, including intuition training, expressive art, journal writing, guided imagery, and somatic movement activities.
She also noted that this research is also being replicated as a spring semester college course at Brigham Young University in Utah.
Participants will have an opportunity to learn what, when and how much to eat as well as how to develop healthy responses to mind-body-spirit needs.
Screening is required prior to workshop attendance. For information, call Birsinger at (888) 243-9582 or visit www. BarbaraBirsinger. com.
