With more than 133 million people in the U.S. suffering from chronic illness, director Kelly Noonan Gore’s documentary film, “Heal,” inspires, empowers and informs.
Starring leaders in the integrative health and wellness movement for the past several decades, including Marianne Williamson and Deepak Chopra, “Heal” takes audiences on a scientific and spiritual journey where they will discover that by changing perceptions, the human body can heal itself from disease.
The film presents both scientific evidence and spiritual perspectives while telling the stories of people who have overcome chronic diseases and pain by investing in practices and therapies that support the body’s inherent ability to regenerate.
Landmark on Main Street will host an event based on the film, Heal: Change Your Body. Change Your Mind. Change Your Health, on Monday, May 6 at 7 p.m. Following a screening of the 55-minute film, there will be a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Lucy Gade, the former medical director and program coordinator at Northwell Health’s Center for Wellness & Integrative Medicine.
Gade will be joined by Gail Grossman, a cancer survivor and yoga professional who used both western medicine and alternative practices to heal from cancer; Dr. Anita Sadaty, an obstetrician and gynecologist with a specialization in hormone health for women who founded a women’s specialty practice in Roslyn called Redefining Health Medical; and Keith Fiveson, founder of the Work Mindfulness Project and a yoga teacher who uses mindfulness-based practices to help reduce stress, prevent relapse, build resilience, overcome challenges, and choose meaningful paths and outcomes.
This is a free Conversations from Main Street program. For tickets, go to www.landmarkonmainstreet.org. Landmark is located at 232 Main St. in Port Washington.
