RECOVERING THE SOUL OF HEALING from the "Exploring the Frontiers of Consciousness" lecture series, presented by the Institute of Noetic Sciences in collaboration with Metanexus, 2000 In this presentation, Dr. Dacher traces the development of Western medicine from the holistic practices of the ancient Greek Aesclepian temples to the biological approaches of modern medicine. He further discusses contemporary efforts to expand modern medicine through holism, wellness, and integrative therapies. Dr. Dacher asserts that in modern times the recovery of the soul of healing is directly related to the expansion of consciousness and access to our inner healing capacities. The recovery of the soul of healing is inseparable from the recovery of our authentic self. Simultaneously, we discover and actualize the profound capacities of human flourishing. This talk was accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation.
