Food as Medicine: Eating for Wellness

with Barbara Blackwell, CNS, PT

Barbara will introduce you to eating from the perspective of Functional Nutrition, which emphasizes the importance of high quality foods and personalized dietary balance to create optimal wellness.  Food is more than fuel or calories; in fact food delivers information to your body on the cellular level with every bite, creating health or disease.
We will review the fundamentals of nutrition, common excesses and deficiencies, and healthy eating strategies.
This is a great opportunity to learn the foundations of healthy eating, improving your diet, and establishing a solid base of knowledge to better evaluate the latest nutrition recommendations in the media.

This workshop includes a food plan, recipes, smoothie sample, and a discount for lunch at Karma Foods.

When: Saturday, February 23rd 10:00am-1:00pm

Healing Sound Bath 

with Laurinda Raquel

Imagine being immersed in beautiful sounds that are healing to your body, mind and soul…
A Sound Bath can be an unforgettable experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation and an acceleration of the inward journey.  Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation and experience.  Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more.

Science continues to prove the power of sound as an available medium to address distress, enhance learning and creativity and to allow the body to find it’s natural balance while creating space for insights. Sound Healing catalyzes an integration of preverbal and somatic memory, which brings a sense of empowerment and connection to life purpose. The power of sound leaves you feeling rejuvenated, more deeply connected with your authentic core Self, and ready to integrate the insights and revelations that you received into your life in a practical and down-to-earth way, with new vitality and vision.

Bring a pillow, your favorite blanket, a water bottle, and be sure to wear comfortable clothing!

When: Tuesday, February 26th 7:00-8:30pm
Cost: $25, space is limited, pre-registration required!
