Classes and Workshops with Melanie:

Maintaining Energy to Live Your Best Life

In every moment energy - or "chi" as it is known in ancient Chinese wisdom - is constantly flowing throughout and around us. By understanding the vital energy connection between you and your surroundings, you can make changes to those things that influence you most, and ultimately change how you feel. In this class you'll learn about the internal and external ways in which we receive and give energy and how we can use or change it to look and feel great.  

 

Reducing Stress & Finding Balance Naturally

Stress is a normal physical and emotional response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way.  This class will look at ways to reduce everyday stress including breathing, meditation, exercise, and food choices. You'll also learn how to manage stress, boost feelings of joy and serenity, and stay calm and collected under pressure.

  

The Food-Energy Connection

You are what you eat! This lively class will introduce you to the energy of foods using the ancient system of the 5 transformations. Find out the magic that happens when the energetic quality of the seasons are combined with various ingredients and cooking styles.  You'll also discover how to create dishes that provide an uplifting, youthful energy and strong, enduring vitality, plus how to nourish different organs and emotions using specific foods and remedies.

 

Cooking: Energizing Snacks & Fun Foods

Discover how to create an array of delicious snacks and appetizers that boost energy and add wonderful nourishment to our daily diet. This class will incorporate discussions on food and dishes you can to take to work, picnics and travel. Fabulous desserts and teas included!

 

The Acid & Alkaline Balance for Healing and Vitality

Over acidity, known to weaken all the body systems and leave us more vulnerable to health problems, is very common today. When excess acids must be neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened condition. A good pH balance is a vital key to health maintenance. In this class you'll discover how to create a healthy pH balanced diet, using specific foods, good eating habits, and varied cooking styles. Healthy pH supporting physical activity, and the powerful effects of attitude on health, will also be discussed.

Classes and Workshops with Warren:

Keys to Abundant Energy and Vitality
All of life is energy.  In this exciting lecture we will look at the
numerous ways we can increase our energy and build our
vitality for a fulfilling and joyful life.  Warren will also explain what energy really is!

"Why Am I So Tired?": The Fatigue and Kidney Health Relationship
This lecture explores the numerous ways we are able to "diagnose" our own kidney health - visually through outward body signs, emotionally, and through various physical symptoms. We will also look at the two most common causes of fatigue and how to overcome and naturally heal this concern.

Cooking: Strengthening and Energizing Dishes and Remedies
Learn how to prepare some of the most important dishes, remedies and condiments needed to create vitality and nourish you on a deep level.  September is a perfect time of the year for introducing these powerful, energy-boosting foods.

The Role of Minerals in Achieving Vitality
Minerals are essential for optimum health and great energy.
They support our bones, keep us mentally sharp, and help us to
maintain an alkaline condition.  Minerals are often used incorrectly, causing imbalances which contribute to physical and emotional problems.  In this class you'll learn how to incorporate minerals properly (and deliciously!) day-to-day in your busy life.
