Evolver Spores: The Healing Journey

Jonathan Phillips

We live in a world that is ever more toxic, threatening even young people with cancers, antibiotic-resistant staph infections, new strains of influenza, and syndromes that are just emerging now. As people discover the problems with Western medicine in treating many conditions, this growing awareness is causing an explosion of interest in alternativeand holistic therapies. With options ranging from the Alexander technique to acupuncture, Reiki to Rolfing, homeopathy to holotropic breathwork, individuals are taking their health into their own hands, and empowering themselves to learn and change. In this Spore, we’ll explore diverse alternative health methods and modalities, as well as how we can work together to implement healing in our own communities, and society at large.

As part of this Spore, different local groups may want to explore the polarizing theories around the Swine Flu vaccine – the possibility that the threat of a pandemic is being used as a political expedient, and that mandatory vaccination programs may be met with resistance – and examine the Obama health plan, which may increase coverage to more people but has been eagerly supported by the pharmaceutical companies.
