Fall Cleanse and Immune Boost Program 2008
Fall is a time of transition.... All of nature gently shifts the flow of energy from branching out to sinking down deep into one’s root in an effort to store vital nutrients for the coming winter.

It is important to prepare ourselves for winters’ cold by gently cleansing, nourishing, and tonifying, our body, mind and spirit.

Nourishing meals, exercises and daily practices will support your body’s natural detoxification system; strengthen your immunity while calming your nerves.

Nourishing Destiny - The Inner Alchemy of Nourishment
Energy Medicine, Nourishment, Personal Healing,
Windows of Perception:
Retreat October 2-5 2008
This foundational workshop begins an exploration into the vibrational nature of the human body and the effective use of energy and food as medicine. We begin this journey with a history into the healing arts, allopathic medicine and the evolution of our relationship to food and nourishment. This sets the stage to understand health and illness as it affects our culture today.
Throughout the 4-day experiential frame work, we develop tools to open our awareness of and capacity to utilize our sensual and intuitive body. We increase our perception of the world as we learn to view and integrate the wisdom of our emotional, imaginal, and ancestral mind. We will study the anatomy of our spirit body, meridian and endocrine systems accompanied with techniques to strengthen and improve vitality and the flow of energy within our physical body. This class provides a bridge that connects science and energy medicine. The focus is on supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself by balancing the physiology through the subtle energy system of the physical body. Cost of 4 day retreat includes organic meals and lodging. $600.
The Alchemy of Nourishment:
Healing Foods and Traditional Cooking Practices
Creating healthy meals is a pleasure once you understand basic principles behind food selection, preparation, and presentation. This class offers a hands on learning and cooking experience that will open your senses and awaken your intuitive relationship with food. We will explore ancestral cooking traditions and techniques that have used healing foods, herbs, and tonics to nourish people for hundreds of years. Learning to prepare delicious and nutritious whole foods will provide a foundation for vitality and well-being. In addition we will learn food remedies that nourish and support the body through illness. Food can take on a profound new meaning and your kitchen will become an apothecary allowing you the opportunity to support your body so that it can heal itself.
