The Canadian Research Institute of Spirituality and Healing (CRISH), a not-for-profit organization, would like to provide a forum for dialogues and a platform for planning an integrative healthcare service. We invite you to come join us to create a vision for compassionate care, and more importantly, to develop a model of integrative care that is community based and that is sustainable. The question for this meeting is: What are the ingredients to succeed? Our feature presentation to inspire the dialogue is: Beyond Resistance: Finding the Healing Power of Gratitude, by Gabor Maté, MD, a physician, public speaker and the author of three bestselling books, published internationally. Copies of Dr. Maté's most recent book entitled, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, will be available for signing after the meeting. Admission is free. Please RSVP via info@crish.org.
