The Institute for the alliance between
traditional and holistic medicine
For many traditional peoples, health was seen as a
balance between the person (body and mind), community,
nature and the invisible world. This comprehensive and
holistic dimension gives rise to the mobilization of
many healing techniques: psychophysical, energy,
pharmacopoeias, sometimes with dances and rituals of
communion or catharsis. All these show a special
relationship between the land and nature in all its
dimensions, and portray a needed wisdom for the world.
Equally in contemporary societies, some traditions exist
since long, though new approaches to health considered
as "smooth" like homeopathy, anthroposophist medicine,
health care, energy healing, health through diet have
risen...
It is time to do the meeting and the confluence of
two methods which vision is for not aggressive care
and bring confidence in the natural processes of
healing and the awareness of the interdependence
between humans and nature in all their dimensions.
The Aurovillage, through the Institute for the
Alliance of traditional and holistic medicine
healers will organize meetings between African and
the world and holistic practitioners to achieve this
convergence.
