Beginning January 16, Dr. Kurt Beil, a naturopathic doctor, licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner, will teach a series of workshops, Natural Approaches to Health and Wellness, on alternating Wednesdays at the Beacon of Light Wellness Center. These workshops will focus on different aspects of health and will draw on Beil’s knowledge of holistic, natural medicine.

“We are meant to be healthy, thriving beings,” he says. “It is usually the imbalances in our lives that allow illnesses to occur. Using ancient healing methods and understandings of modern medical science, we can assess the what, where, why and how of these imbalances and make corrections that return us to a state of health. Often these changes don’t need to be big for the effects to be noticed. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.”

Topics will include Holistic Self-Care (January 16), Stress Management (January 30), Anxiety (February 6), Immune System Support (February 20), Insomnia (March 6), Thyroid Health (March 20), Digestion (April 3) and Detoxification (April 17).

“Each workshop will focus on the most important information for you to make positive changes in your life, including basic relevant health systems in the body, simple methods of self-assessment, prevention strategies, and hands-on remedies and techniques that you can take home to improve your health,” Beil says.

Cost: $25 each (discount for multiple workshops). Location: 4 S. Chestnut St., Beacon, NY. For more information, call 845.202.3515 or visit BeaconOfLightWellnessCenter.com, or contact Beil directly at 914.362.8315 or [email protected].
