Renowned natural healer Hakim Archuletta takes you on a journey into a refreshing perspective on natural health from an Islamic perspective.
Whether you are a health professional, have an interest in Islam's perspective on healing, or simply seek a more fulfilling spiritual and healthy life, this workshop is for you.
What are some ways that our modern lifestyle has affected our health?
What is the significance of hamd (praise) and shukr (thanks) in our physical health?
What can we do to achieve wholeness and reconnect with ourselves, our Creator and creation?
What impact is technology (TV, Internet and mobile devices) having on us?
This workshop is full of eye-opening information that may change the way you look at all medicine and your health. Hakim will reveal the "secrets" of healing, expose the modern barriers against health and will place natural healing within the context of the Islamic tradition. He will also demonstrate practical exercises which can help in becoming a more whole and healthy human being and family.
