“Your Health: A Sacred Matter” documentary premier and discussion, May 23

The National Press Club will host the exclusive D.C. premier of the new documentary “Your Health: A Sacred Matter” on Tuesday, May 23, at 6 p.m. in the Club Ballroom followed by a panel discussion.

Tickets are required: $10 for Club members and $15 for general public. Tickets can be purchased here.

The film, created by National Press Club members Adam and Gerald Krell, focuses on how the medical profession is not only looking to the origins of medicine in order to move forward, by reintegrating religiously based tenets into the healing process, but also responding to contemporary research findings that support earlier accepted wisdom.

The following panelists will discuss questions ranging from one of the central film themes: What connections between religion, spirituality, and health are increasingly common in contemporary society -- to the moral question how this relates to the ongoing health care policy debate in Washington.
