In a world that increasingly pulls us in many directions and stretches
us thin, feeling fulfilled and complete is a multidimensional process
of caring for body, mind, and soul. Taking time to commune with and
understand our personal story, spirituality, physical well-being, and
mental health are essential to living a full and whole life. Medical
doctor and mind-body expert Joan Borysenko invites you to discover
flow, relationality, and well-being by learning how to integrate body,
brain, and story into a coherent whole. Join Dr. Borysenko, for an
experiential workshop that blends spirituality, neuroscience, and
mindfulness training with the power of personal narrative. Drawing
upon evidence-based mind-body training and our capacity to create
meaning through story, Dr. Borysenko helps us better identify the
stories we tell ourselves and how those stories interact with our
brain and body to either shut us down or open us up. Discover how your
personal story affects your biology. Engage with neurobiology and
neuroplasticity to analyze your narrative for healing and
transformation. Examine identity, coping mechanisms, and spirituality
to repair your personal story. Whether you are seeking expansion and
exploration for yourself, or insights for healing others, Dr.
Borysenko provides tools for a journey to wholeness. Joan Borysenko,
PhD is a world-renowned expert in the mind-body connection. A licensed
psychologist and a Harvard-trained cell biologist, Dr. Borysenko
synthesizes cutting edge science with deep humanity. Dr. Borysenko
work has been foundational in an international health-care revolution
that recognizes the role of meaning, and the spiritual dimensions of
life, as an integral part of health and healing. Author of 16 books
including her groundbreaking work, the New York Times best seller,
“Minding the Body, Mending the Mind,” and numerous audio and video
programs for meditation and stress management, Joan’s work has
appeared in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, on Public
Television, and on many websites. Dr. Borysenko’s warmth and
credibility, plus her lively sense of humor make her one the most
popular and sought-after speakers in the fields of health, healing,
and spirituality. After graduating magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr
College in 1967, Dr. Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical
Sciences from Harvard Medical School and completed her post-doctoral
training in cancer cell biology. But after the death of her father
from cancer, she became more interested in the person with the illness
than in the disease itself, completing two more postdoctoral
fellowships in the new fields of behavioral medicine and
psychoneuroimmunology. Dr. Borysenko’s latest project, SyNAPSE,
integrates Science, Nutrition, Awareness training, Positive
Psychology, Spirituality and Epigenetics into a multi-dimensional,
personalized approach to self-directed wellness. President of
Mind-Body Health Sciences, LLC, Dr. Borysenko lives in the mountains
of New Mexico with her husband, Gordon Dveirin and their two dogs,
Mitzi and Milo. Find out more at www.joanborysenko.com or join the
