Workshop Study Guide
The Conscious Aging workshop is formed around a study guide developed by the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS, http://noetic.org). The study guide is based on IONS’ conscious aging research, as well as the research and practices described in two seminal books:
Consciousness and Healing: Integral Approaches to Mind-Body Medicine by Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Tina Amorok, PsyD, Marc Micozzi, MD, PhD, is a collection of 47 essays on integral medicine, consciousness, and healing that integrates mainstream medical knowledge with recent developments in the emerging areas of frontier sciences and insights from alternative healing perspectives.
Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life by Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, PhD, Cassandra Vieten, PhD, and Tina Amorok, PsyD, is the product of IONS’ decade-long investigation into transformations in human consciousness. It brings what we know about achieving personal transformation off the mountaintop, down from the ivory tower, out of the laboratory, and translated to the real challenges facing us as humans in the 21st century.
