Imagine having the flu. Your first inclination is to soothe or get rid of the symptoms, i.e. the headache, muscle ache, fatigue and fever. You might take an Aspirin or ibuprofen and get some rest, hoping to return to normal functioning as soon as possible.

In that scenario, you remain in your conventional identity, that of an operational person that just needs some rest to get back to your old ways. With Big Medicine, you open up to the experiences you are having and let yourself be changed by them. This might mean, for example, that you embody the fatigue and let it guide you into more internal spaces. There, you might discover new value for your feelings and spiritual inclinations.

In this seminar, Pierre reads excerpts of his new book, explains the ideas behind Big Medicine, and gives room for questions and discussion. He also gives participants the opportunity to explore their own experiences of Big Medicine and their body symptoms through an inner work exercise.
