Presentations:

(1) "What Sciences Report About Raw Foods, A Unified Approach to Nutrition" Almost every science from Anatomy to Zoology has given us insight into human nutrition. If you have ever wondered how science supports the Raw Foods Movement, this is the talk you must hear! Health, intellect, athleticism, longevity, beauty, and spirit are all affected by what we eat. Learn what are the optimum foods for humans, how to eat them, when, and why.

(1) "Nutrition & Athletic Performance" What are the optimum foods for athletes, or people who just want to become more active? Are there performance-enhancing supplements? Discover the role of protein, fat, carbohydrate, water, and micronutrients. This information promises to be thought provoking. The facts are definitely not what you have been lead to believe. Key nutrients play a huge role in day to day performance. Learn why they are so important, and how vegetarian athletes can best manage them.

2 Presentations:

(1) Dr Kim Sproul, ND, will give the following talk:

"How to Save the Planet by Becoming a Raw Vegan" Not only does a raw Vegan diet help to detoxify our bodies, but it also greatly helps to detoxify our precious planet...which, in turn, helps to detoxify ourselves even more! In addition, such a diet has the power to end some of the tremendous pain, suffering, torture and unnecessary death that is taking place behind closed doors. We cannot achieve true peace on earth until this stops. It is creating disharmony and literally destroying our planet. Our landfills are overflowing, our forests are going away, and our air and water are no longer pure. All of these problems are largely related to everyday food choices. Learn what a powerful impact you can have on the health, vitality, detoxification, ecology and spirituality of the entire planet by simply making choices that empower your own health, vitality, detoxification, and spirituality. You won¹t want to miss this much- neglected topic.

(2) Dr Jamey Dina, ND, will give the following talk:

"Rational Raw Foodism - Embracing the Biology, Not the Philosophy" Based on fifteen years of research, in this lecture Dr. Jamey Dina will provide much hard science as to why a raw, Vegan diet and lifestyle is so beneficial. Dr. Dina will ask you to look beyond rhetoric and dogma to learn why you should eat raw foods, and teach how to avoid the common mistakes of many raw foodists. He will also share with you information on how to make your personal raw food program even more effective. Dr. Dina feels it is wise to be grateful to those who came before us and the information they brought forth; however, he feels it is time for a new era of raw foodism that goes beyond the teachings of the past and can exalt you to a new level of health. It is time for an era of raw foods based on science and open minded observations... an era of biology, not philosophy. Time permitting, topics covered include why Vegan, why whole foods, the tremendous benefits of raw foods, food combining, enzyme inhibitors, fruitarianism, blood sugar balance, different blood/body/metabolic types and how they relate to raw foods, how to be raw for life, protein sufficiency and toxicity, calories (too much or too few), dietary fat, teeth, osteoporosis, nuts and seeds, colon cleansing, vitamin B-12, nutritional supplements, viruses/bacteria/fungi/candida/parasites. and fasting vs. juicing.

In this slide presentation, learn which raw wild vegetables are easy to identify, fun to gather, nutritious, and delicious to eat.

"Living Lifestyle: Living Foods and Beyond!"

To live from inspiration is to discover who you truly are--a spark of the Divine in a human experience--a vibrational entity responding to and impacting on all creation. To understand that you are the creator of your life through your millions of choices which are made everyday is to know yourself and to be empowered. Everything you have in your life right now you have asked for, you have chosen. Food is vibration before it is cooked and killed. Thoughts are vibration. It is the compilation of millions of thoughts, experiences and decisions that make up a belief system about ones self and the world. The belief system motors the bus you are riding. A living lifestyle supports becoming awake and consciously releasing limiting beliefs.

“The Ten Commandments of Health: Natural Laws for Your Body/Mind & Soul” The Ten Commandments of Health---Natural Laws For Your Body, Mind and Soul is the title of Art's next book. The book provides an owners manual for outlining the essentials to create and sustain wellness without reliance on drugs, medicinal herbs, nurtritional supplements, nor healing / cleansing therapies of any kind. Each Commandment of Health is accompanied by a scientific natural law principle from physiology, anatomy and biochemistry (and in the case of mind and soul, a guiding principle of how the dynamics of awareness functions). The book and seminar addresses:

1. How to scientifically determine our natural plant-based diet and the importance of feeding our body what it is designed for

2. The importance of food combining and not violating the natural limitations of our digestive chemistry, for those 6 billion earthlings who still eat cooked foods

3. How to reverse and prevent diseases of aging with an alkaline fresh produce diet, and understanding the harm of creating an acidic condition in the body

4. How the Raw Food Clean-burning Diet strengthens the immune system: understanding the nuts and bolts of how heat destroys nutrients, thereby adding toxins to the body

5. How to keep your mind and body energized and free of fatigue: glucose from raw foods and rest are the only true sustaining energy sources

6. Never suppress healing symptoms with drugs, herbs, or alternative medicines: cooperate rather than hinder the self-healing tendencies of your body

7. How to get well when sick through deep physical, emotional, and mental rest and abstainence from food: nature heals through energy conservation, energy redistribution, and body detoxification

8. Engaging the mind and body in pleasurable vigorous endeavors: the importance of toning your body, and fine tuning your mind.

9. Sharing thy heart: emotional wellness and intimacy

10. Spiritual Fitness: Happiness is an inside job---lovingly care for thy body and mind as the temple of thy soul. Living consciously from your essence, and forever freeing yourself from depression with the aid of a raw food diet.

Relief from symptoms and physical discomfort, weight-loss, mental clarity, and a developing attunement to your body's needs and messages are just a few of the benefits you'll experience.

Along with the obvious benefits, almost everyone who has adopted a raw food regime experiences difficulties as they struggle with breaking a lifetime of personal habits and social conditioning.

Here are just a few common issues Dr. Trader's lecture will address concerning the fight to stay raw:

* How can I control (and eliminate) my cravings for foods I know I shouldn't eat? * What do I eat, meal after meal, day after day, without getting bored with raw foods? * How can I continue to socialize with my friends, family, and co-workers, without being made to feel defensive, embarrassed, or deprived of a good time?

The raw food diet isn't one of struggle, boredom, or sacrifice. Dr. Trader will answer all these questions and address other issues related to maintaining a raw food diet over the long term. He'll show you why most of the problems can be solved by simple common sense and how-once you've establish a natural rapport with your body-the raw food lifestyle will become easier and easier.

Qi Dao - Tibetan Shamanic Qigong and Raw Food Adventures in Wilderness

Lama Somananda Tulku will be leading us in Qigong exercises both Saturday and Sunday morning.

An old Tibetan proverb says: "Only when you are in the flow, will you experience the real power of spirit." Qi Dao, also known as Tibetan Shamanic Qigong, teaches us to receive everything life throws our way, be it a relationship, environmental, or health issue, as a lesson that should be taken and learned. Operating on the intuitive level, Qi Dao helps us to transform the very source of our somatic and psychosomatic issues in order to solve them.

The teaching of Qi Dao emphasizes the harmonious development of our personality, which affects our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. This far-reaching holistic tradition not only addresses our issues on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels, but also balances all these levels. It offers us profound experiences in meditation and visualization, promoting deep peace and receptivity to inner guidance. By allowing whatever is natural in us to unfold spontaneously, Qi Dao facilitates peak performance as well as enhances creativity and intuition.

Tibetan Shamanic Qigong is an ancient holistic practice which helps to enhance intuitition, creativity, emotional and mental clarity. It energetically supports spiritual awakening and an enhanced sense of well-being. By setting ourselves free from old stereotypes and programmed patterns, Qi Dao empowers us to positively transform any obstacles that interfere with our natural ability to respond to the challenges of spiritual growth in our intimate relationships. As a result, we can enjoy more fully the abundance and happiness that life has to offer.

As the current holder of the lineage of Qi Dao, I have worked on empowering many professional speakers, actors, athletes and healers to open to the infinite source of intuition that exists in everyone. My rather diverse background is complex enough to include near-death experiences during the war in Afghanistan, ordination as a Tibetan lama and a black belt in Aikido. I have got over 20 years experience in internal styles of Kung-fu and the Shamanic Qigong that has been fostered within my family for 27 generations since 1224 AD.
