Finding Healing Rhythms in
Families, Health, and Ecology |
 Listen.
Hear the drumbeats? Breathe. Feel the rhythms and excitement of
a lively jazz jam! Welcome to Earth Jazz: Finding Healing Rhythms
in Families, Health, and Ecology, the 21st Annual Conference on
Families and Health! We are thrilled to offer a conference site
filled with body, mind, social, and soul experiences that will
have you stretching, dancing, singing, and drumming while expanding
the frontiers of your clinical practice, teaching, and research
knowledge. Welcome home to all of this, your professional family,
and the usual exciting workshops, networking, and community building
that you have come to associate with the STFM family conference.
The theme, Earth Jazz: Finding Healing
Rhythms in Families, Health, and Ecology, invites you to explore
and cocreate a more expansive web of family systems medicine
that holds the earthly ecology of health. We are also invited,
as a community of teachers and healers, to use the metaphors
of jazz and improvisation as tools for helping us during these
turbulent and challenging times. The beat of the conference
will follow the drums of Earth Rhythms, with melodies coming
from our plenary performers. Reuben McDaniel, Jr, PhD, a jazz
singing management consultant, will introduce chaos and complexity
theory as a means of doing improvisational systems thinking.
Ecoartist Susan Steinman, MFA, and Ecopsychologist Allen Kanner,
PhD, will connect community empowerment, ecology, art, and ecological
illness. Susan McDaniel, PhD, John Rolland, PhD, and Louise
Acheson, MD, will help us cocreate some systemic, relational
sense of the emerging genomic revolution.
Come celebrate and learn with us at the
21st Annual Conference on Families and Health: the soul of family
medicine!
