Meet this years presenters
 Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.
The Art of Healing
Saturday 8th 2:00pm
We are honored to have Bernie Siegel, MD, mind, body, spirit medicine pioneer and best-selling author on the art of healing as our keynote speaker. Bernie brings a lifetime of healing wisdom to the stage, embracing a unique philosophy of living – and dying – that stands on the forefront of today’s medical ethics issues. He is the founder of Exceptional Cancer Patients, a unique form of therapy based on personal change and healing. Bernie’s experience has led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her own healing potential.
 Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.
Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, not Dr. Siegel, was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veteran’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers.
In 1978 he originated Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images and feelings. ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of.
Bernie, and his wife and coworker Bobbie, live in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. They have five children and eight grandchildren. Bernie and Bobbie have co-authored their children, books and articles. Their home with its many children, pets and interests resembled a cross between a family art gallery, museum, zoo and automobile repair shop. It still resembles these things, although the children are trying to improve its appearance in order to avoid embarrassment.
In 1986 his first book, Love, Medicine & Miracles was published. This event redirected his life. In 1989 Peace, Love & Healing and in 1993 How To Live Between Office Visits followed. He is currently working on other books with the goal of humanizing medical education and medical care, as well as, empowering patients and teaching survival behavior to enhance immune system competency. Bernie’s realization that we all need help dealing with the difficulties of life, not just the physical ones, led to Bernie writing his fourth book in 1998 Prescriptions for Living. It helps people to become aware of the eternal truths and wisdom of the sages through Bernie’s stories and insights rather than wait a personal disaster. He wants to help people fix their lives before they are broken, and thus not have to become strong at the broken places. Published in 2003 are Help Me To Heal to empower patients and their caregivers and 365 Prescriptions For The Soul, in 2004 a children’s book about how difficulties can become blessings, Smudge Bunny, in 2005 101 Exercises For The Soul and out in the Fall of 2006 a prescriptions for parenting book Love, Magic & Mud Pies.
Woody Allen once said, “If I had one wish it would be to be somebody else.” Bernie’s wish was to be a few inches taller. His work has been such a growth experience that he is now a few inches taller. His prediction is that in the next decade the role of consciousness, spirituality, non-local healing, body memory and heart energy will all be explored as scientific subjects.
For many, Bernie needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet. In 1978 he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. As a physician, who has cared for and counseled innumerable people who’s mortality has been threatened by an illness, Bernie embraces a philosophy of living and dying that stands at the forefront of the medical ethics and spiritual issues our society grapples with today. He continues to assist in the breaking of new ground in the field of healing and personally struggling to live the message of kindness and love. Bernie and Bobbie travel extensively to share his experience and techniques. His web site is www.BernieSiegelMD.com.

 Community Accupuncture: Health Care as Social Change
Saturday 8th 1:00pm
Who decides whether Alternative Medicine will be accessible to a broad range of people? Do practitioners face a moral obligation to heal more than just the wealthiest segment of society?

 Laughing Yoga
Saturday 8th 1:00pm
Laughter is good medicine. Yoga is good for the body, mind and soul: combine the two and joyful healing occurs.

Health benefits include reducing stress and boosting your immune system. Come prepared to laugh and have fun, no sense of humor required.
Laughter Yoga is a fun, experiential workshop. Overall this presentation is a lighthearted foil to the more intellectually centered workshops that are the norm. Although fun, the participants will gain valuable tools in dealing with their own stress, (and that of their clients if applicable). Various breathing techniques, Yoga poses and stretches, and ways to achieve a joyful attitude are all presented and taught. The laughter yoga experience leaves participants recharged, receptive to upcoming workshops during the rest of the day.

The approach tackles not only foods to avoid but what foods added to your diet will help improve how you look and feel. Most importantly the workshop will offer tips and recipes to make healthy eating simple and more importantly, possible.

Judith Franklyn, R.N.
On October 26, 2004, three female Registered Nurses signed into life the corporation, Recirc, Inc. With 60 years of critical care experience, 50% in the cardiac arena, these RNs decided it was time to become proactive in their commitment to the Public Access Defibrillation movement. This movement is dedicated to promoting the common good and general welfare of our community through evaluation, training and educating the lay rescuer in the use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED), combined with life saving procedures to provide a safer, healthier environment. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) affects 450,000 people each year. Recirc recognizes the value of early defibrillation in impacting this grim statistic. Goals were prioritized in order to strategically position Recirc in a market exploding with the need for both devices and training. The RNs became members of the AED Instructor Foundation, became certified as instructors and established a school to train instructors. They subsequently achieved certification as a minority womens’ business enterprise known as SOMBWA. A Medical Director was chosen for medical oversight and, finally, Recirc established Manufacturers Representative status with three AED manufacturers based on their market cap, leadership and positioning into the future. Recirc is now doing its best to create a Heartsafe Environment “everywhere!”
