 The Global Medicine Education Foundation was established to create
a model for education in medicine and health care that would encourage
a healing life. In response to the growing needs of health care providers,
medical students, and physicians to lead healthy, whole lives, we
develop educational environments that balance intellectual quest,
experiential learning, and personal transformation.
Our philosophy recognizes and reinforces the
connection between spirituality and healing. We reconnect our spiritual
lives with our
day-to-day lives, creating a bridge between the Inner and the Outer
journey. We examine what “wellness” means in our own
lives, and how we can weave together the best pattern of well-being
for ourselves, as we endeavor to assist others in achieving their
own.
We promote continued inquiry into the nature
of “healing” as
it is perceived and demonstrated through different disciplines, and
cross-cultural perspectives that have been practiced for centuries,
whether it be the ancient philosophy of Chinese Medicine or the contemporary
practice of diet and nutrition. We balance “science” and “spirit” as
right and left hands working together to help us merge knowledge
and wisdom into the art of healing.
In addition, we create a template for becoming more whole human
beings and compassionate health care providers through the process
of self-inquiry and commitment to ongoing personal development and
the relationships we share. Together we build a healing community
based on trust, understanding, mutual respect, learning, and support.
We believe that the greatest gift we can offer
ourselves is the opportunity to imagine freely, and to ask more
questions; questions
that don’t require answers. It is in the thinking of the questions,
the opening of the window of inquiry, that imagination enters and
new ideas are born. Throughout all our programs we encourage the
asking of questions, the dialogue of “unproven” ideas,
and the imagining of what might be possible beyond our current realm
of knowledge.
