About Artemis Books
Several years ago, Lily Nova and Iven Lourie collaborated on a book project to collect memoirs by women who had lived through World War II and its accompanying traumas and dislocations. Although the larger collection they envisioned is yet to be completed this project resulted in the publication of the volume I
nterrupted Lives, which collects memoirs of confinement from four women who survived Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila, The Phillipines, and has been adopted for classes and reading lists in Women's History in a half dozen or more universities. This book needed a publishing imprint for the marketplace, and so Artemis Books was born! Later, when Iven collaborated with Matthias Schossig on the foreign rights division of his translation agency, iTRANSmedia, the project added a dimension of importing and exporting ideas to and from Europe and the possibility of cultural exchange through the international literary marketplace.
Artemis is building up a publishing list of unusual and high quality books specializing in the following subjects: Women's Memoirs, Health & Hygiene, Meditation & Spirituality, Collaborations of Fine Artists & Literary Writers. New Life Through Energy Healing by Dr. Reimar Banis, a Spring, 2009, release, is the first international Artemis project. It is a collaborative effort of a German author, a German publishing house (Via Nova Verlag), a British translator, an American literary agency, and a U.S. independent press, Artemis Books, distributed by a larger publisher, Gateways Books & Tapes. We at Artemis wish to share with you this cutting edge research and healing methodology from Europe, and we plan to bring to market more professional and literary books of this caliber.
Reimar Banis, M.D.
Reimar Banis, M.D., naturopath and physician specializing in general medicine, is considered to be one of the world's leading figures in energy medicine.
He has developed a revolutionary new natural healing method that combines ancient healing knowledge with modern medicine and psychology. In addition to his extensive private practice, he has for decades been studying philosophy, Christian mysticism, depth psychology, Yoga, Eastern wisdom and shamanistic healing methods.
Over decades of research and developmental work, he has developed Psychosomatic Energetics into a new diagnostic and therapeutic system that harmonizes ancient naturopathic knowledge and shamanism with the findings of psychoneuroimmunology and modern brain research.
Deriving from these integrative studies, the author develops a holistic healing system combining aspects of emotional, spiritual and physical approaches. This system incorporates a universal evolutionary principle, which we can apply to recover our wholeness.
Reimar Banis trains therapists all over the world in his method. He investigates new avenues to broaden the acceptance of energy medicine. He is currently residing in Hergiswil, on Lake Lucerne in central Switzerland.
