The Embassy of Greece Present an Exclusive Screening of a New PBS Special: THE SCIENCE OF HEALING By Author and Medical Researcher Dr. Ester Sternberg Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 6:30 PM at the Embassy of Greece The Science of Healing follows Dr. Sternberg to a tiny village in Greece, where her personal experience of the power of place in healing inspired the research that led to this program. She explores ruins of ancient Greek healing temples, and visits cutting edge science labs to uncover the source of her healing. In the course of her journey we learn more about the scientific basis of the mind-body connection, and the role of environment and emotion in the healing process. The program introduces viewers to the research that is revealing some of the many ways the brain helps us heal, both emotionally and physically. By understanding the science behind the brain's role in healing, we can each take charge of our own health and find out how to create a place of peace even in troubled times. -- 56 minutes. Free.
