For those of you who attended the WLS Conference last year, you will remember the talk giving by Dr. Gabor Mate.  Well he is coming back for a free lecture in Victoria on January 29th. 

Gabor Mate and Healthy Aging: the Mind-Body Connection

Date: 29/01/2011
Start Time: 3:00 PM
End Time: 4:30 PM

Description:
 Healthy, Wellthy and Wise: A Celebration of Positive Aging Series Presentation
Alix Goolden Hall 907 Pandora Avenue
Victoria, BC V8V 3N4

Brought to you by the Greater Victoria Public Library and Friends of the Greater Victoria Public Library.

How do we age without becoming “old”? How do we retain—or regain—youth, in the face of advancing years? That will be the topic of this talk by Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of four books that explore issues of human development, attachment relationships, the mind/body unity in health and illness, and the vexing and pervasive issue of addictions in our highly-driven culture. Dr.Maté will speak about how to improve our physical and emotional self-awareness while contributing to better health, healing and productivity. Find out how we can regain and preserve our wonder at the world. Join us for what promises to be a provocative and inspiring event. Register online or call 250-413-0389 for more information. Registration begins January 5.

Library: Central Library
Location: – Offsite – Alix Goolden Hall, 907 Pandora Avenue

Is Dr. Mate planning anymore lectures in the near future in Victoria, or Vancouver,  I had mentioned this lecture he was having at the support group tonight, but unfortunately I didn't realize the date was in January.

I think when I looked on his website after this there is a 5 day retreat coming up. 

 

Check his website out to see as it shows all the seminars that he does and the dates.
