Cruise Your Inner Passage

A Resilience-Building Trip in Alaska for Physicians July 23-30, 2017

!1

Alaska’s beautiful Inside Passage is usually cruised in luxury liners, viewing nature from a distance. This journey will be an

“Inner Passage - from a world of constant pressures, where physicians operate in survival mode - to an immersion in the

wild coastal ecosystems of Alaska’s celebrated Tongass region - to deeply reconnect with our calling as physicians, and to

physically and emotionally renew our energies.

This 15-credit AMA PRA Category 1 CME course will take physicians to the heart of the Inside Passage by kayak. Using wilderness as a metaphor for inner exploration and renewal, our journey will use

experiential learning to deepen our understanding of personal values, personal strengths and calling, offering powerful tools to not only survive but thrive in the current environment of medical practice.

Our guides on this adventure will be Dr. Herdley Paolini, founder of the Institute for Physician Integration, and author of Inside the Mind of a Physician, and Kurt Hoelting, founder of Inside Passages, long time wilderness guide in Alaska, mindfulness teacher, and author of The Circumference of Home.

Enjoy seven days at a rustic lodge on the Wrangell Narrows, in the heart of Alaska’s Inside Passage, daily kayaking expeditions, camping in the Tongass National Forest. Price includes room and board, kayaking and camping equipment, the 15-hour CME course (including Mindfulness Training), and a powerboat round trip into the wilderness from the fishing village of Petersburg, Alaska.

Testimonies from Last Summer’s Participants

“This course was a “wow” course and has stretched me into a new shape, opened my heart, and will positively impact my relationship with self, my patients, my staff, my family, and my loved ones.

“This is the first CME evaluation that I have actually truly meant the rating given – 5/5 stars!” “Drastically needed in my practice but not available before this activity. Five star course with measurable internal and external changes apparent. Highest recommendation!” “A wonderful blend of didactic presentation, dialogue/discussion, and experiential learning. I would definitely recommend this experience to other colleagues.” “Excellent program addressing an often forgotten area in optimizing medical practice. Refocusing on medicine as a spiritual practice and the physician as the instrument of the practice. I understand now how the physician needs to and can optimize his/her physical emotional and spiritual state.” “An excellent program that has helped me to recharge and to gain new skills to navigate my daily practice. Thank you!”

"This course has enriched me personally; in addition it has increased my ability to help patients/others professionally.”
