We are privileged to have join us on our Zoom meeting call one of our National AHNA Board members Roxane Raffin Chan, Ph.D., RN, AHN-BC. She is a holistic nurse consultant with her company, Chan Body Energy. Roxane received her Ph.D. in community health promotion from the University of Michigan, where she conducted an NIH funded study on the use of mindfulness practices in persons with chronic disease. She is a certified teacher of Mindfulness Self-Compassion through the University of California Center of Mindfulness and a Board Certified Advanced Holistic Nurse. Roxane is a member of the board of directors for the American Holistic Nursing Association.

Roxane is going to speak to us on Connecting with our Holistic Nursing Tribe to further our Practice. During this interactive session, she will explore with us information about on-going holistic groups that support different aspects of holistic nursing practice, knowledge, and expertise. We will also learn how to participate in the professional development of holistic nursing as a practice and how to help create a more holistic and compassionate health care system in the United States.

She will talk about how the five core values of holistic nursing support our Practice, as well as about the holistic nurses' entrepreneurs group, the Compassionate Caravan campaign, beyond the national conference: AHNA educational opportunities, and finally on Service – How to thrive in the tribe

I hope you will be able to join us for this fantastic opportunity to learn more about what is available to you as a holistic nurse directly from our national AHNA Board member Roxane. Please share this information about our meeting with everyone who might be interested in learning more about holistic nursing.
