Join us for the 2024 Tucson Humanities Festival, themed WELL-BEING, featuring an enlightening evening with Dr. Andrew Weil on October 9 at 6 PM! Following the lecture, Dr. Jiang Wu, our Center's director, will host a Q&A session, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with Dr. Weil.
Talk title: "Integrating Health & Humanities"
Talk abstract: Mind and body cannot be separated except verbally; they are two poles of the one reality of our existence. Conventional medicine pays attention mostly to the body, limiting its understanding of the root causes of many disease conditions and its effectiveness in managing them. Dr. Andrew Weil, a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, discusses how Integrative Medicine views each patient as a whole person: mind and spirit as well as body. It seeks to identify nonphysical causes of illness and embraces therapies that take advantage of the mind/body connection, promoting well-being and healthy aging.
In-person location: Health Sciences Innovation Building (1670 E Drachman St, Tucson, AZ 85721)
