Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Body: Tria Principia
Physicians are invited to participate in a 3½-day immersive retreat exploring a living, holistic approach to patient observation and physical examination.
Through an exploration of the Tria Principia—a threefold understanding of the body and the fundamental processes of nature—participants will develop new powers of perception and deepen their ability to recognize relationships between structure, function, illness and healing.
The retreat weaves together:
- Time in nature
- Reflective practice
- Hands-on labs
- Small group work
- Artistic activity
- Clinical case discussion
Participation is limited to 25 physicians to support close faculty interaction, collegial exchange, and experiential learning.
