A Unique Plant Perspective
Plants are a vital part of the healing practices of the peoples of the world across cultures.
They are a part of modern biomedical and ancient healing traditions.
At Golden Apple Healing Arts we honor:
-
translation of hundreds of botanical clinical trials into daily health practices,
-
biomedical research of plant constituents,
-
historical evidence and application of traditional botanical healing techniques,
-
the lived experiences and stories of plant-human partnerships people bring to learning,
-
healthcare providers' unique ways of integrating plant partnerships into clinical practice
Here you’re invited to deepen your botanical wisdom and engage with plants - not as products, supplements, or drugs - but as partners in care.
Advancing Peace Through Health Culture Diplomacy
Wise people of many cultures have prophesied that the 21st century would be a time when people would find greater ways to integrate traditions and emerging science.
The mission of the Choreosophy Institute is to lead peacemaking and the process of integration of tradition and technology through education and health culture diplomacy.
