"Redefining Health" Weekend Workshop

June 2-3 at Tai Sophia Institute

Laurel, MD, May 7, 2007 - There's a lot more to health than just how you feel physically. Your relationships, career, fears, courage and future are all part of the picture where your health is concerned. "Redefining Health," a signature two-day workshop given by the Tai Sophia Institute, addresses these questions in life and helps attendees put them into simple, profound context. You will leave the workshop with at least 20 practical skills to help you make positive changes in your life and build a framework for daily living.

The workshop is open to the public. It is scheduled for 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday, June 2 and 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Sunday, June 3, and will be held at the Tai Sophia Institute, 7750 Montpelier Road, Laurel, MD.

It provides participants with skills to view themselves, their careers and their relationships with a fresh perspective. Business executives, teachers, and healthcare practitioners who have taken the seminar credit it with showing them ways to be more effective and fulfilled in their professional and personal lives.
