Our August philosophy walk was phenomenal. Our group headed out at 8am for a fun journey up Mount Helena and enjoyed wonderful conversation about eastern philosophy & eastern medicine! The Fall-like weather, clear skies, sunshine & gentle breeze were fantastic. And…the brilliantly colored mountain blue birds were an absolute treat!
On our walk we explored the following questions:
- What is Eastern Philosophy?
- How do Eastern & Western Philosophy differ? How are they the same?
- What is Eastern medicine?
- How do Eastern and Western medicine differ? How are they the same?
- How do concepts of Eastern philosophy inform Eastern medicine?
- How do concepts of Western philosophy inform Western medicine?
- What research is being conducted in the field of Eastern medicine & what are the findings?
Special thanks to our guest speaker/co-philosopher on trail, Dr. Michael Bergkamp! Thank you also to Justin Whitaker (who kindly agreed to an impromptu discussion about mindfulness).
