Thoughts...

Hi Lewis et al -

I have been reading the description over and over and I have sat with
it for a while. I am very excited about the prospect and what it has
to offer. My understanding of the program, in a nutshell so to speak,
is that by delving into one specific culture's system of healing one
may gain insight into not only that culture's practices but also how
to apply that process to other cultures as well. I wonder, Lewis, do
you intend for fellows to become specifically proficient in ONE
particular cultural system vs attaining a more broad set of skills
allowing them to become more able to "traverse" cultures? Any
thoughts?

My thought was to accomplish both.  By becoming proficient in one other cultural system we become capable of traversing other cultures.  Does that make sense.

 

What have you decided about Hawai'i?

Yes, I can see what you are getting at.  Like a post-doctoral fellowship for instance, is this program targeted specifically at already medically trained professionals who have completed a residency of some sort (D.O., M.D sorts)?

 

I have some reservation around the "formalization" of the, program.  I have gained so much from my time with you and the other coyotes, with it being quite informal.  Is there a way to offer the program without having it sound so "serious" or "intimidating" or "unfun".  I feel I may be "out on a limb" here, so to speak but I felt compelled to say something.

 

What kind of response are you getting from the instituions you have been approaching with the idea?

 

At the moment I am getting done here at Eastport in June.  That is still somewhat open for change, if things improve.  Moving to Hawaii, however, does not look as though it will happen.  I am really looking forward to being married and having a family sometime soon, so a move like that (when the husband is not in a position to move as well) does not seem apropo.  I am interested however in perhaps frequent visits to HI - even considering assisting in February for the healing intensive, if I can work that out and the offer still stands. 

 

Dancing a lot lately, keep thinking we should dance together - you and I!

Dear Magi,

I think it's targeted at anyone who has the time for it. I see it as
a standalone MA or PhD, though if it's a clinical program that a
person is completing it would have to be adjunct training, because of
the many clinical training requirements.

Definitely a post-residency fellowship opportunity or post-training
opportunity for any of the health professions.

I think the fun part is having the two weeks together (which I
envision being just what we did in Hawai'i) and having cool clinical
and traditional healing mentors. Courses can also be fun (check out
my aboriginal mind course). I know what you mean and I'm trying to
keep informal and formal together in a blend of sorts.

I'm getting positive responses from the institutions I approach, but
there's only one of me, and it takes time.
