Before World War II, most people died of communicable diseases. With the invention of antibiotics, many of these diseases have been controlled and people are now dying of lifestyle related diseases. The advent of technology promised us more leisure time. But instead, because of that technology, our work and our problems follow us everywhere until we can no longer relax. The stresses of everyday life can slowly eat away at us until we become sick. With continuing research, the complex interaction between mind and body is finally scientifically understood as inseparable.



“Integro” is a Latin word that literally means “to renew, to refresh, to heal, to make whole”. The INTEGRO programs are designed to help everyday people find peace amidst everyday problems. The water lily is the symbol chosen to represent this peace, because water lilies are very hardy plants. They float on the water and can weather the roughest storms because they have very deep roots…they are very grounded. You, too, can float through life’s storms if you learn to ground yourself in joy and purpose.
