Join us to share and discuss innovative approaches and solutions to health, illness, aging, death and dying, as well as systemic issues of health community relationships and policymaking.  Sponsored by the international Process Work community, this conference invites participation from the Process Work community, medical professionals, alternative health practitioners, health activists, policy makers, and consumers, and consumers throughout the Pacific Northwest and the US.

Process Work is an awareness-based school of psychology.  It was developed by Arnold Mindell, a physicist and Jungian Analyst.  His research focused on how awareness interlinks with reality and how we perceive it on different levels, creating different frameworks of reality.  Process Work has a unique place in contributing to our understanding of the psychological, relationship, and social pathways and factors that influence health.  Process Work facilitates an individual’s awareness about health damaging factors and fosters his or her self-healing capacity.  On a community level Process Work facilitates the relationship processes between the various players in local and global health care systems and organizations and their medical views.
