Activating our Inner Healers – June 2011
On my recent vacation in Kauai it rained a lot, giving me the opportunity to find ways to spend time inside. I enjoyed watching DVDs, and especially appreciated The Living Matrix — The New Science of Healing. It’s about how, from a scientific perspective, we can maximize our bodies’ self-healing abilities.
This has been a major interest of mine for as long as I can remember. It was the basis of the seminars I taught at the Center for Health Awareness in the 80′s. Eventually it was what led me to design the Cancer as a Turning Point, From Surviving to Thriving™ conference in 1994.

Presenters – Napa Conference
in order of appearance
Jeremy R. Geffen, MD, FACP, is a board-certified medical oncologist, a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, and a leading pioneer in integrative medicine and oncology. He is president of Geffen Visions International and author of the highly-acclaimed book The Journey Through Cancer: Healing and Transforming the Whole Person (Three Rivers Press, 2006). He is also creator of The Seven Levels of Healing®, a leading-edge integrative medicine and oncology program which is now being offered in multiple cancer centers in the US. This program integrates state-of-the-art conventional cancer treatments with a wide array of complementary therapies designed to help patients and family members heal and transform at the deepest levels of the body, mind, heart, and spirit. www.geffenvisions.com
He will present: The Seven Levels of Healing: Celebrating Life and Spirit on the Journey Through Cancer — The journey through cancer is a life-changing experience that often challenges the minds, hearts and spirits of patients and family members as deeply — if not more deeply — than it challenges the physical body. More than ever before, patients, family members, and health professionals must grapple with a dizzying array of conventional as well as nonconventional treatment options, while also searching for meaningful ways to embrace the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of healing. In light of this, what is the most conscious, empowered, and comprehensive response to a diagnosis of cancer? How can we honor and care for the whole person along the way? And how can this be accomplished in the context of modern medicine and modern life?
In his keynote presentation, Dr. Geffen will address these questions and more. He will describe the seven most critical areas of inquiry and exploration universally encountered on the journey through cancer — The Seven Levels of Healing. He will show how they can transform all aspects of the cancer journey, as he guides us in celebrating life and spirit at every step along the way.

They have created CancerThrivers, a multimedia initiative dedicated to sharing information about integrative cancer prevention and treatment. Dr. Alschuler has received professional recognition and many awards for her work in integrative medicine. www.drlise.net
She will present: Creating a Body that Cancer Doesn’t Like — Learn how your lifestyle can transform your internal landscape to fight cancer. This presentation will focus on the most impactful ways to make your body inhospitable to cancer by highlighting the best researched diet, exercise, sleep, and dietary supplement anti-cancer strategies.
Charlotte Stewart — over the course of 50 years in films and television Charlotte Stewart has worked with great performers including Jimmy Stewart, Shirley Jones, Rock Hudson, Elvis Presley, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei, and Rainn Wilson. Her best-known role is schoolteacher Eva Beadle in the 1970s hit show Little House on the Prairie. She also starred as Mary X in David Lynch’s cult classic Eraserhead and worked with Lynch again in his popular television series Twin Peaks. Her long list of credits includes guest roles in television classics such as Gunsmoke, Hawaii Five-O, The Waltons, Mannix, My Three Sons, McMillan & Wife, and Bonanza. Charlotte, a breast cancer survivor of 20 years, now calls Napa home with her husband David Banks. She works to raise funds and awareness on behalf of breast cancer charities and locally for the Wellness Center at The Queen of the Valley Hospital.
She will moderate a panel discussion: Next Steps — What Can I Do?
A Slight Discomfort — Award-winning playwright Jeff Metcalf has written a remarkably honest — and outrageously funny — play about his experience with prostate cancer. This one-man play, based on his journals, follows Jeff’s journey from diagnosis through his life surviving the disease. A Slight Discomfort is about living — really living. Its universal themes and appeal are not limited to men. As one female audience member put it, “I have a prostate — I’ve been married to the same man for 20 years!” It explores the shared experience of being human and dealing with a crisis with grace and humor. A Slight Discomfort takes us from laughter to tears, from blushing to bravo, from thought to action, from tragedy to triumph. www.aslightdiscomfort.com
A Slight Discomfort — Superb actor Paul Kiernan is Jeff Metcalf. His portrayal makes women want to hug him and men want to have a beer with him — he is everyman. A proud member of Actor’s Equity Association, Paul has worked in regional theater, film and TV for the past 22 years. He has been seen on stage across the country including at the Utah Contemporary Theater; Salt Lake Acting Company; Hangar Theater, New York; three seasons with the Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis; and The Great Lakes Theater Festival. Television includes: Blank Slate for TNT, Touched by an Angel, Cover me, Everwood, Roseanne, The HBO Series From the Earth to the Moon, Walker Texas Ranger, SeaQuest DSV. Films: Ice Spiders, The Cell 2, The Moldonado Miracle, Alien Express, Double Teamed, Disney’s Luck of the Irish, Go Figure, Little Secrets. As a writer his plays have been produced in NYC at St. Mark’s in the Bowery, The Orlando Theater Project, Invictus T.C. in Orlando, and The Boar’s Head Theater. He holds an MFA from Brandeis University.

She will present: Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life — For over two decades IONS researchers have studied the art and science of transformation in everyday life. From this research we have learned that as we transform our consciousness we transform our bodies, our societies and our world. Based on this research, Dr. Schlitz will explore the interface of Western Material Sciences and Eastern Inner Science to identify insights, tools, and capacities for activating your inner healer.
Gary Malkin is an Emmy award-winning composer, producer, performer, and public speaker, dedicated to making a difference in the world by offering musical experiences and resources that inspire the heart and catalyze societal and individual healing.

As an Artistic Director for conferences internationally, Gary is dedicated to using music and media as resources to help us to balance our lives with greater meaning, compassion and service. www.wisdomoftheworld.com
He will present: Music is Medicine for the Heart: Utilizing the Power of Music for Emotional and Spiritual Healing — For more and more people, music transcends being simply a form of entertainment to become much more: a source of meaning and connection to the soul. This understanding about music can offer an immersive experience that can reduce stress, enhance wellness, alleviate most forms of pain, deepen relationships, and enhance your capacity to feel grateful for the very preciousness of life.
Cymber Lily Quinn is a Reiki Master and harpist. After a health crisis, she left high tech marketing to pursue her dream of playing harp in service to others. She plays Reiki healing harp music at healing conferences, wellness centers, and private homes. She also plays in private practice for people who are recovering from surgery, taking chemical and herbal therapies, and those working through infertility.

Overview – Napa Conference
Presented by Queen of the Valley Medical Center and Healing Journeys
CANCER AS A TURNING POINT
FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING™
A FREE conference designed to
educate, inspire, connect, and celebrate
Saturday, September 17th, 2011
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Lincoln Theater
100 California Dr.
Yountville, CA 94599
(Napa Valley)
Approved for 6.5 Continuing Education credits for
RN, MFT, and LCSW
General Conference Information
In order to make this program available to everyone, there is no charge for attending this conference. There are charges for lunch and Continuing Education. Donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible.
Our Commitment to Diversity
Healing Journeys is committed to diversity and pledges to include, welcome, and support all individuals of any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, and disability.
Purpose
The purpose of this program is to educate, inspire, connect, and celebrate all whose lives have been touched by cancer or any life-altering condition.
Cancer, or any life-altering illness, can be viewed as both a curse and a blessing. If viewed simply as a disease of the body, it is experienced only as a curse. When we view illness in the context of the whole person (body, mind, emotions, and spirit), we see its transformative potential as an awakening for the soul and spirit. Only then can we see it as a blessing and utilize its gifts.
“Thanks for creating this space where I can begin to come to terms with a cancer diagnosis. Thank you for the love…”
Who Should Attend
- Women and men touched by cancer or any life-altering condition.
- Healthcare providers.
- People supporting friends or family with cancer or any life-altering condition.
Conference Objectives
- Differentiate between curing the body and healing the person.
- Explore illness as an awakening with transformative potential.
- Convey how nutrition can help control cancer and promote wellness.
- Rediscover and stimulate the healing capacity of the human spirit.
- Facilitate healing from within as an essential component of total health.
- Describe the many levels of healing and encourage personal involvement.
- Incorporate stories, music and laughter as part of the healing process.
- Rekindle hope and motivation to live fully in the present.
- Facilitate connection among people and organizations with common goals and concerns.
Lunch
Lunch will be networking time. We encourage everyone to stay for lunch. You can pre-order lunch for $15 when you register, or you can bring your lunch and participate in the lunch networking groups. We regret that there can be no refunds for lunch payments.
