The Mindshift Institute Presents: Healing with
Orgone Energy: >Exploring the Medicine of the Future >with Jorgos
Kavouras, MD
The Mindshift Institute is proud to present an evening with Dr. Jorgos
Kavouras. This is a rare opportunity for anyone interested in healing,
especially conventional and integrative medical practitioners, psychiatrists,
and body-oriented therapists to engage a professional whose experience
is unique in the United States. Nearly 60 years ago, Wilhelm Reich wrote
in The Cancer Biopathy. "I have no doubt
that the initial hesitant reaction to the novelty and simplicity of the
apparatus will be overcome and that the officials will eventually authorize
the distribution of orgone accumulators. "
If this prediction comes true, it will be
because of the clinical work of physicians like Dr. Jorgos Kavouras, who
has been successfully treating patients in Europe for 25 years with orgone
energy devices designed by Reich. Dr. Kavouras has also done extensive
research work with the orgone accumulator and the Medical DOR-Buster. He
is one of the most experienced physicians in the world today working with
these powerful healing devices. Don't miss this chance to meet a true pioneer
in the practice of orgone energy medicine.
Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. The Pratt Mansions, 84th Street and 5th Ave. NY, NY
Admission $20 Pre-registration Suggested. Seats
Guaranteed with Pre-Payment
