Learning Objectives: After this workshop the student will understand the historical basis for the current medical care system, and will be able to utilize the new paradigm of holistic care in their own practices, culturally and realistically looking for outcome-based evaluators for successful caring and healing of the unwell.

  5. Identify immune response to disease process, trauma, stress and infection as well as the cellular reaction to various aspects of alternative health care, and the interaction of the holistic human to dis-ease.
  6. Review ethical, legal and logistical views of caring for the ill, elderly, and impaired. Discuss legal issues of control and the patient bill of rights, including the Do Not Resuscitate order, POLST form, Power of Attorney of Heath Care, Living Wills, HIPPA and the Oregon’s Physician-Assisted Dying law.
  7. Define and instruct concepts of Holistic Healthcare and the Healing Arts, in relation to non-traditional, alternative options, such as acupuncture, massage, therapeutic touch, visualization, medication, etc.
  8. Discuss uses of alternative medical options in practical, outcome-based care planning terms.
  9. Discuss physical symptoms of dying body and explain the physiological causes of each symptom, as well as palliative care, as utilized by hospice and palliative care teams, both at hospital & home-based settings.
  10. Identify symptom management tools to empower non-skilled caregivers to provide excellent care in the outpatient setting.
  11. Students will explore their own emotional response to the dying process, including contrasting the extending of life to the extending of the dying process.
  12. Discuss and explore touch versus technology, care versus caring.
  13. Participants will share their own thoughts on the changing paradigm from the paternalistic “Doctors know best,” to the belief that the patient should be the orchestrator and consumer of their own healthcare.

Coming up Tues. June 12th in Ashland, Oregon:

SOU CHAMBER CHOIR PRESENTS

> Ashland Film Premier "Shining Night: A Portrait of Composer Morten Lauridsen", a film by Michael Stillwater, with Performance by SOU Chamber Choir, Paul French, Conductor | SOU Recital Hall, 450 S. Mountain Ave. (7 - 9pm) - TUESDAY, JUNE 12th

The Wall Street Journal calls him "the best composer you've never heard of," but to choral music enthusiasts, Morten Lauridsen is a beloved and well-known artist. "Shining Night," a new film chronicling the composer's creative process and inspirations, is coming to Ashland on Tuesday, June 12, for one showing only at the SOU Music Recital Hall, and including a performance by the SOU Chamber Choir, conducted by Paul French.

"A man, an island...and music that moves the world!"

Winner of the Best Documentary award at the DC Independent Film Festival (2012) and an Honorable Mention at the Los Angeles Movie Awards (2012), this visually stunning documentary, the filmmaking debut of musical artist Michael Stillwater, largely takes place at Lauridsen's home on the San Juan Islands. Inspired by the silence of nature, Lauridsen ( (a National Medal of Arts recipient and most frequently performed American choral composer), creates works of timeless beauty. Through the eyes of other composers, conductors, singers and music students, the story of Lauridsen unfolds - and his music is performed by Volti, the San Francisco Choral Society, Con Anima, and the Aberdeen (Scotland) University Choral Society, together with soundtracks from Polyphony, the Dale Warland Singers, and The Singers/Minnesota Choral Artists. Shining Night gives viewers a look into the private life of a remarkable artist.

Called 'the only American composer in history who can be called a mystic', Lauridsen creates music which opens perception to transcendent realms while providing a healing space for the losses in our lives.   On Tuesday evening June 12, meet Morten Lauridsen and filmmaker Michael Stillwater, see this beautiful film, and hear Ashland's singers perform some of Lauridsen's music under the direction of conductor Paul French.
