The Chris Millar Foundation for Integrative Medicine and Menssana Mindbody Medicine will be screening Shannon Harvey's groundbreaking international documentary The Connection—Mind Your Body.

After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at the age of 24, Australian journalist and filmmaker Shannon Harvey was told if her disease progressed she could end up with organ failure or wheelchair bound. Doctors couldn't offer an explanation as to why her immune system was attacking her own body. There was one thing she did know. When she was stressed, she got worse. Shannon sought answers in pioneering science and discovered a powerful connection between the state of her mind and her potential for recovery. She soon realised that in order to change her health she needed to change her mind.



The film features a line-up of internationally recognised experts and remarkable true stories of people adding mind-body medicine to their healing toolkit to recover from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis.



At a time when one in two people will be diagnosed with a chronic disease in their lifetime and the global cost of healthcare for chronic illness is in the trillions, The Connection is for people who have tried everything. It offers answers and proves that you can change your mind, change your health and change your life.



As well as the film there will be guest speakers including mindfulness pioneers A/Prof Dr Craig Hassed (via Skype) & Dr Chris Walsh.
