exercises) that assists your personal growth and emotional health and relieves
stress. It allows you to access information and resources not readily available
with other self-help methods. It’s popular today because it works for people in
all walks of life. Shamanism looks back at the past to give us strength in the
present and a path for the future. Tonight Dan talks about Shamanic Conflict

Deadline: Oct. 20
Did you know, the average weight
gain for an adult between Halloween and the Super Bowl is 12 ½ lbs? There’s
just so much food around, no time to exercise and it’s ONLY once a year, right? Tonight, Lisa will show how YOU can stay healthy over the Holidays.
This is about YOU – your everyday
life and how you can really do it. You’ll learn it’s not just what you eat but
other factors including sleep, hydration, digestion, exercise and stress. Find
out why diets alone don’t work for everybody. Instead, you need to identify
your own energy boosters that help and the drainers that hinder your health.
You’ll receive your own Personalized Healthy Holiday Action Plan. There’s time
for questions and even trying some simple movement exercises (optional).
Handouts and refreshments provided. Come join us and stay healthy this Holiday
Season.
