presented in any of the following ways:
Overview Style: This hour-long version will not have the same in-depth exploration as the workshop styles.
As a talk, it will have minimal interaction between participants. The objective of the overview is simply to
provoke thought and give participants suggestions of things to work on at home.
Mini-Workshop: This day-long workshop will allow time for participation and more exploration of the
concepts presented. However, this workshop will be tailored to the specific participants and certain sections of
the workshop will take focus while others will only be touched upon.
Extended Workshop: This workshop will take place over a series of five weeks. The group will meet once a
week for an intensive exploration of many different aspects of illness. Each meeting will cover only two of the
points and will allow participants to have time to tell their stories while working through the issue at hand.
