"If you are a health-care professional, and have the purpose of improving the lives of others, then this class on using magic, body language, and verbal skills is highly, highly recommended." --Jason Zommick, M.D.
Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger are pleased to offer a special seminar for physicians, nurses, holistic practitioners, and other professionals so that they might understand how to apply the powerful skills of performance magic to enhance the healing relationship.
In this four day event, experts will lead the participants through exercises that will transform their practices and themselves. They will examine the value of ritual, theater and the performance of magic, and learn how practitioners of many cultures have incorporated these potent skills into their medical traditions. Through examples drawn from the worldwide experience of the instructors,participants will learn how to prevent and remedy hazards to establishing the therapeutic relationship.
Lectures and hands-on workshops will include the following topics:
* Tricks of our trade - Magic Effects for the Physician Magician * Magical Healing: The Art of Metaphor and Storytelling * The Bedside Manner: The power of positive magic * Bring Magic to Life
Participants will learn how posture, gesture, and facial and voice inflection can enhance or interfere with establishing a positive relationship, and they will receive personalized training to improve their awareness and reduce any interfering habits they may have. Introspective exercises will help each student to understand their own limits and strengths, as well as how to manage and utilize these qualities in patients. Attendees will explore techniques to combine a more powerful personal style with the medicine they practice to improve both the results that they see with patients as well as their personal satisfaction with medical care.
Enhancing communication skills and creating a performer�s focus can also improve interactions with other medical professionals and staff. For those who have an interest in speaking to the public, or interviewing on television or radio, the value of these skills cannot be overestimated.
This information and training has never before been available to the medical profession, and class size will be limited to maximize personalized attention. Participation is limited to fifteen attendees.
