Persephone Healing Arts Center, the office of Dr. A. Schaeffer-Pautz, M.D., board certified in

both Integrative and Internal Medicine, warmly invites readers to their annual Holiday Potluck

from 6 to 8 p.m., December 13, at their Jacksonville Beach center. This is an evening of

celebrating the season, nurturing, heart-to-heart, fun, good conversation and thanksgiving.

Dr. Pautz explains, “This holiday season is always a reminder of heart-to-heart nurturing,

looking within ourselves and also reaching out to our surroundings. On a heart level, each

holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving, is another opportunity to practice the kindness and

gentleness of this season. Different religious systems have celebrations at this time of the year to

remind us that we are all here to grow stronger towards the light. Each year we can get a little

better.”

Newcomers are welcome to the potluck, offering existing patients the opportunity to introduce

friends and other family members to Persephone, and past attendees have brought an abundance of varied dishes. Anyone interested in attending is asked to RSVP to 904-246-3583 with their favorite dish they want to share. Families with children are welcome, as long as the children are embraced and taken care of.

Persephone Healing Arts Center also invites those interested in their medical services to an open house from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on November 12, and again on December 10. This is a sit-down circle where Dr. Pautz explains her philosophy that she practices within a unique blend of integrative, conventional and anthroposophic medicine, with a great emphasis on personalized, one-on-one care. She sees patients of all ages.
