Richard P. Brown, MD

Integrative Psychiatry
Key Note Speaker

Breath practices have been used since ancient times for physical, mental, and spiritual development. They can be used to raise energy of our mind-body-spirit, circulate the energy to remove blockages in our systems, and extend energy to others. We will present a sequence of mindful movements, breathing and attention trainings, for physical, emotional, and mental disorders including PTSD.

Dr. Brown will demonstrate and lead attendees through a sequence of mind-body practices as a group and then in small groups to experience the shift in consciousness, energy, and the sense of self and others.
