"The Center represents Bastyr's intention to shed new light on important contemporary issues in health care."
- Timothy Callahan, PhD, Senior Vice President and Provost
The Center for Spirituality, Science and Medicine was created in November 2009 to further Bastyr University's interest in, and commitment to, a multidisciplinary exploration of the deep questions at the heart of spiritual and scientific inquiry. The Center is intended to contribute to the cultivation of wisdom and wholeness in the practice of medicine. It will be home to a wide variety of courses, programs, research projects, symposia and conferences examining mind-body medicine.
Highlights
Conversations on Body, Mind, Spirit, Nature and Medicine
In January and February 2010, Bastyr University hosted a series of three conversations examining the intersections Body, Mind, Spirit, Nature and Medicine. The innovative series brought together Bastyr experts and leading local authorities on physical, mental and spiritual health to discuss how each focus area is vital to whole-person health and health care. The three talks focused on "body," "mind" and "spirit," respectively, and were moderated by Warren Etheredge of The Warren Report. The conversations featured internationally recognized mind-body experts, authors, physicians and spiritual leaders.
