Working with Energy for Healing, Feb 22 in Palo Alto

[Guest guest]

On Monday, February 22 at 8 pm, the Peninsula Macrobiotic Community will host

Julia and Carl Ferré, who will speak on Working with Energy for Healing. Julia's

presentation will include creating micro and macro chi energy fields, a healing

circle similar to the one she does at the French Meadows Summer Camp, a talk

about Reiki, and, time permitting, a 2 to 3 minute personal energy boost for

each person in the group.

 

Julia is a level 3 Reiki practitioner and a macrobiotic chef and cooking

instructor who trained with Cornellia Aihara beginning in 1980. Julia will have

copies of her new cookbook, French Meadows Cookbook, along with her classic,

Basic Macrobiotic Cooking. She works at the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation

on Macrobiotics Today magazine and the French Meadows summer camp (July 17-25,

2010). Carl began macrobiotic practice in 1975 and has been studying,

practicing, and teaching macrobiotic thinking and lifestyle ever since. He is

the author of Acid Alkaline Companion and Pocket Guide to Macrobiotics,

president of the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation, editor of Macrobiotics

Today magazine, and director of the French Meadows camp. He enjoys playing music

and hiking in his " spare " time. Julia and Carl encourage everyone to view their

newly redesigned website: http://ohsawamacrobiotics.com.

AFTER-DINNER PRESENTATION: each month we feature an After-Dinner Lecture or

Event, described in the newsletter and website. Lectures are usually on

macrobiotic or other health related topics, by a variety of speakers including

macrobiotic counselors, medical doctors, cooking teachers, and people who have

dealt successfully with serious diseases using macrobiotic or similar

approaches. Other events have included performances by folk singers and

vegetarian Chinese acrobats. We have a pass-the-hat policy for our events; we

suggest a donation of $5-10.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: all are welcome at our Dinners, vegetarian or not. The

Dinners are particularly helpful for those who want to eat in healthy ways, but

may not know how to get started. Many who attend may have the same health

concerns you have. Also, choosing locally grown, vegetarian foods is one of the

best ways to reduce your carbon footprint on the planet.

 

Dinner attendance ranges from 40 to 100, with a full spectrum of ages spanning

newborns to grandparents, including quite a few interesting singles. Come with a

friend or by yourself; singles easily integrate into our friendly group, where

seating is communal. Many long-term friendships have started at a Monday Dinner,

and are renewed every week!

 

We hope to see you at a Monday Dinner! Please forward this message to friends

who may be interested.
