Illness Is Both A Trauma And A Project.
It requires dealing with the healthcare system, navigating changes in lifestyle and relationships, and handling the emotions that arise with having your hopes and dreams derailed. But illness is also about growth and awakening.
If you have a chronic illness and are wondering where to go next or how to manage all of the issues facing you, this course can offer new perspectives. We will use the Integral map developed by Ken Wilber, who himself suffers from a chronic illness and was a caregiver for many years for his wife. This map will give you a comprehensive look at how your inner and outer worlds are affected by illness and how you can use the experience of illness for personal and spiritual growth.
The course is suitable for patients, caregivers, practitioners and others who deal with healthcare matters.
