Organiser of Evening Public Lecture - Medicine of the Mind
Dr Ian Gawler is one of Australia's best-known cancer survivors and advocates of a healthy lifestyle. His story offers hope and inspiration to people across the country.
Having a love of research and a deep respect for personal experience, the self-help techniques that Ian developed have helped many to convert hope into sustained good health and genuine peace of mind. A pioneer in Mind-Body Medicine, and having appeared widely in the media, Ian has played a major part in popularising meditation and other Mind-Body Medicine techniques in the western world.
Dr Gawler's initial training was in Veterinary Science and he holds a Masters in counselling. Ian began the world’s first lifestyle-based support groups for people with both cancer and MS. He has spent over 30 years working intensively with major illness, as well as conducting many meditation retreats and wellness programs.
Ian is the author of six bestsellers and has edited another seven books on Mind-Body Medicine. His biography, “The Dragon’s Blessing” was written by Guy Allenby. He has produced a series of CDs to support his writings, as well as releasing an innovative on-line meditation program, “Mindbody Mastery”. His international classic, “You Can Conquer Cancer”, translated into over a dozen languages, has been recently released in a completely rewritten new edition.
In 1987, Dr Gawler was awarded the Order of Australia for his services to the community.
