March 27th – Kate Winch; EFT Practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist, Massage Therapist.
http://KateWinch.com

Today we learn all about the phenominal healing technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). EFT is sort of like acupunture without the needles, in that it works with the body’s energy systems to release stored or blocked energy. It is particularly applied for rapid release of stress, pain, and other emotionally based illnesses (some 90% of all illnesses). Kate shares the origins of EFT and some common applications – we even do a live example of how EFT can be applied. If you’re new to this personally empowering wellness technique, you’ll soon be hooked and tapping your challenges away.

Comprensive and essential discussion about chemicals and artificial ingredients in foods – particularly focusing on the junk we commonly let our children eat. New studies VALIDATE the connection between certain “food” substances and malbehavior in children. We speak about the science and practical insights, as well as how to avoid these foods and the HEALTHIER choices parents can easily make. Children can make immediate and dramatic improvements through simple dietary adjustments and empowering personal CHOICE about what they eat – and once they know, children tend to choose what’s better for them.

http://www.autismtreatmentcenter.org

This heartfelt conversation will benefit anyone who is touched by autism. We learn about the Son-Rise program, a totally unique treatment for children with autism.

This approach develops a deep relationship between parent and child that sparks expanded possibilites for learning and socialization. Raun inspires us to broaden our perspective and hope for our children and empowers parents with new options that can have immediate affect.

November 1st – RAW MILK UPROAR California Legislative Coup (or Mistake)? Sally Fallon – Founder, Weston A. Price Foundation Chrys Ostrander, Organizer/Activist in Eastern WA Mark McAfee, Owner, Organic Pastures Dairy

Detailed inquiry into the recent Raw Milk uproar in California as Governor Schwarzenegger signed a bill that included a new regulation for Raw Milk production. The added Coliform standard does not appear to measure, nor have direct correlation to, the actual safety of Raw Milk and would be burdensome to raw milk producers, unnecessarily threatening the availability of this natural product to health conscious consumers. Sally Fallon helps us understand the core issues at hand, Chyrs Ostrander explains the flawed logic (“apples & oranges”) of the legislation, and Mark McAfee shares his response to this apparent sneak attack on his industry.

We speak both of the challenges and infinite possibility that present before us in today’s world, and remain inspired by the potential of humankind to transgress fear and embrace our greater selves. Enlightenment, liberation, and consciousness are explored as Louix shares learnings from his journey that can serve each of us – regardless of respective spiritual beliefs – love and openness are inherently human and universal.
