The "Journey into Healing" workshop led by Chopra Center co-founders, Deepak Chopra, M.D. and David Simon, M.D., is coming to Chicago and San Diego in 2009

San Diego, California (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 -- With the joint sponsorship of U.C. San Diego's School of Medicine, the Chopra Center for Wellbeing will offer "Journey into Healing" - a four-day immersion in complementary and alternative medicine led by Drs. Deepak Chopra, David Simon, and a team of guest experts. In 2009 Journey into Healing will be offered in two locations: May 27-31 in Chicago; and September 9-13 at La Costa Spa & Resort in Southern California.

In the past ten years, holistic or mind-body medicine has become increasingly recognized and popular in the U.S - in fact, a recent survey by the American Medical Association found that more than 40 percent of Americans regularly seek out alternative healing approaches, including yoga, acupuncture, Ayurveda, massage therapy, and meditation

At Journey into Healing, health care practitioners will have the opportunity to learn a powerful approach to health and well-being that brings together the latest scientific medical discoveries and the wisdom of the ancient healing traditions

In addition to sessions with Drs. Chopra and Simon, Journey into Healing features the Chopra Center's Director of Women's Health -Valencia Porter, M.D. - and guest speakers such as renowned holistic oncologist Daniel Vicario, M.D.; and neonatology specialist Jamieson Jones, M.D. Other invited experts include Dr. Dean Ornish, Candace Pert, and Dr. Christiana Northrup.
