Description
About the Congress
We have the pleasure of inviting you to the 7th British Congress on Medicine and Spirituality. This two-day event in the centre of London, organised by the British Spiritist Medical Association (BSMA), International Spiritist Medical Association (AME International) and the British Union of Spiritist Societies (BUSS), occurs every two years.
Our congress this year will be held on the weekend of 9th and 10th November 2019 at Rudolf Steiner House, in London, UK, with the presence of six prestigious speakers.
The congress is open to the general public, healthcare professionals, mental health workers and therapists. This event brings together a number of respected researchers who consider the impact of spirit and spiritual influence in our daily life and will bring alternative yet complementary ways to deal with and understand ourselves and others as immortal spirits.
The speakers will discuss the paradigm of integrative medicine and the goal to bridge medicine and spirituality, focusing on treatments that champion the body-mind-spirit concept.
This is a unique opportunity to learn and understand valuable insights from respected medical professionals and researchers.
