Keynote: “Cell-Level Healing: How Biology and Spirit Intersect for Health”

Joyce Whiteley Hawkes, Ph.D.

“After a shattering near-death experience, Joyce left her career as a biophysicist and embarked on a study of indigenous healing practices”.

This two (2) hour keynote presentation will take place Sunday morning, April 25, 2010 from 9am-11am at the HT CA 4th Annual Regional Symposium in San Diego (www.HealingTouchCalifornia.com for more Symposium info). . Included will be a Power Point presentation of images of cells and pertinent information about healing at the cellular level, and short video of brain wave testing of the presenter during a healing session.

Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell Author of Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell (pub date: 10.06; now in seven foreign editions), biophysicist, Joyce Hawkes, Ph.D. has made cell biology understandable and useful in healing. Her unique contribution includes how to work with cells in a conscious way based on solid science and decades of experience in applying those tools for healing. Joyce’s insights provide ways to find the interface between consciousness and the body and practical means of making that connection for health and vitality.

Joyce will be available for book-signing at the Symposium. You may purchase Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge From Soul to Cell from our onsite vendor, Paradise Found Bookstore and Gifts.
