World Wellness Weekend Sept. 11-12 with Deepak Chopra, Bernie Siegel, 65 classes, 90 Exhibitors and More!
The much anticipated World Wellness Weekend, featuring doctors and authors Deepak Chopra and Bernie Siegel; 64 classes, 80 exhibitors and main stage entertainment is this weekend, Sept. 11 and 12 at Ashland's S.O.U. Raider Stadium from 10:00 am until 7:30 pm.
Deepak Chopra was named by Time Magazine as one of the top 100 icons of the 20th Century. He is acknowledged as one of the world's leaders in the field of mind-body medicine. Formerly the Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center, Dr. Chopra built a successful endocrinologypractice in Boston in the 1980's. Chopra realized in his medical practice that there was potential in western medicine for the establishment of a new life-giving paradigm, one which encompassed the fundamental principle that perfect health is more than just the absenceof disease. He is widely credited with melding modern theories of quantum physics with the timeless wisdom of ancient cultures. In 1992, he served on the National Institutes of Health Ad Hoc Panel on Alternative Medicine. He will be presenting an all new program created specifically for World Wellness Weekend.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, MD is one of the world's foremost physicians, authors, motivational speakers and advocates for individuals facing the challenges of a chronic illness. His many articles, best-selling books (including Love, Medicine, and Miracles), tapes and videos serve as a testimony to his loving commitment to those who choose to take an active role in their own healing process. He and his wife, Bobbie, have introduced the concept of individual and group therapy based on "carefrontation," a loving,safe, therapeutic confrontation enabling everyone to understand his or her healing potential. Their Exceptional Cancer Patient's Program (ECAP), founded in 1978 is based upon this approach and has helped thousands of cancer patients live happy, healthy and productive lives.
