Join Bill Manahan, MD and Kathryn Hayward, MD in their conversation about tapping your hidden power to heal. Bill and Kathryn have known each other since 1987 and are co-creators of International Integrators and Living Whole Immersion Retreats.
Kathryn regards Bill as one of the preeminent pioneers of the Integrative Medicine, Whole Health movement in the United States. Bill is Assistant Professor Emeritus with the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School and is Past-President of the American Holistic Medical Association.
"It’s astounding how little comes out about people taking a mind/body/spirit approach to the pandemic. Despite great strides being made in the past 3-4 decades toward a more Whole Health approach to living, especially among women, very little of that is being directed at the challenges that the pandemic has created."
-Bill Manahan, MD
Integrative Whole Health emphasizes the whole person: physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual. How do you bring these aspects together into your life?
Bill Manahan believes that you are an energetic, spiritual being who just happens to be in a body. The sooner you can truly incorporate that understanding into your being, the sooner you can have a much rosier picture of life, death and illness.
An important part of his view is to figure out who you are and what your purpose is in this lifetime.
"My purpose in this life is to help other people, to be of service. It’s just who I am. It brings me joy, happiness and rewards."
-Bill Manahan, MD
