Music for the Soul
Research has shown that music has a profound effect on the healing process. Music therapy benefits cancer patients, the elderly that are suffering from Strokes, Dementia, Parkinson's disease and pain, children with ADD, and others, to help ward off depression, to promote movement, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and for many other benefits that music and music therapy can bring. Come to this presentation to learn and feel how music affects the brain, heart rate, and state of mind.
Presenter: Leslie is a nationally board certified, Wisconsin registered music therapist that conducts clinical work in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Her training was at Alverno College and has attended a variety of professional trainings in sensory integration, imagery and music, counseling techniques, and also biomedical music therapy. She has started several music therapy programs including the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and now currently at St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care. She also works as a resource music therapist for Seasons Hospice. She utilizes a client centered approach in music therapy noting that every client has different needs and their unique needs need to be met differently. She also has the belief that everything is centered in the brain and any therapy she provides needs to affect brain process to make a difference. Her wish is for the learner to come away with a good understanding of what music therapy is and how it can be beneficial to individuals in their spiritual journeys.

The dramatic changes in medical care and biotechnology of the past several decades have confronted us with challenging ethical dilemmas never before encountered. The need for studies in ethics is greater than ever and the search for meaningful guidelines can be confusing and contradictory.
This class will juxtapose medical ethical problems in the decision of when to prolong life, and the accumulated wisdom of the Jewish heritage, with an eye toward universal values common to all faith traditions. Real life cases will be examined in the light of Rabbinic insights and commentaries from
all ages. It is hoped that participants in this course will be challenged to think and speak their minds on
these real problems of everyday concern to physicians, clergy and all who are involved in the process of
living and dying.
