Secret 6: Spend Your Energy Wildly
Your energy store house is like a bank account. Your energy is your capital and it can generate interest—or it can be depleted and not

Dr. Gladys built her life’s work on five simple words: Life, Love, Laughter, Labor, and Listening.
This November, we’re devoting an afternoon to the 5L’s, starting with Listening with Love.
Harold Moses, PhD, whose work bridges music, vibration, and healing, will guide us alongside vocalist Renee Morgan Brooks with her resounding presence. We will spend four unhurried hours exploring how sound and resonance open the heart to its own wisdom. We’ll start by listening: to the breath that carries life through us, and to the song already living in each of us. From there, voices join. You’ll feel the love that rises when many voices find a common chord, the laughter that comes naturally when people sing together, and the quiet, rewarding labor of tuning in and staying present. You’ll leave with simple practices to carry that attentiveness into your everyday life.
All are welcome, whatever your musical background. Come curious, come as you are, and invite a friend to join you.
Joining from afar? A virtual ticket brings the afternoon to you, with every invitation to sing along from home
The term, “Living Medicine,” is based on the ancient Native American definition of ‘MEDICINE,’ which means ‘LIFE.’ Therefore, the term, “Living Medicine,” translates to “Living Life.” It is the process of living one’s life and following one’s individual path to Wholeness. Specifically, our lives represent a journey that each of us is taking in order to be WHOLE—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Living Medicine is the name of that journey.
By consciously ‘Living’ our lives and ‘Listening to the Physician Within,’ we are practicing the ‘Medicine’ that we need for growing and healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Paramount to the Living Medicine approach is the fundamental ideal that Love and Life are the true healers. Living Medicine recognizes each individual as a WHOLE Spiritual Being who creates their own recipe for living life and who does best when following their own unique path. It empowers each individual to take charge of their own life by consciously working with the Physician Within.
From an individual health perspective, Living Medicine is about looking at the WHOLE person, rather than just treating a disease. We may still work with a disease process, which could require drugs and surgery, but the emphasis would be on being whole and alive while doing so. This way of practicing medicine is a living, organic process that changes as each individual grows and evolves.
