Once upon a time, the medical profession called them "Female Problems"

Otherwise dismissing them as something for women to endure as their natural lot in life. Not as long ago, pharmaceutical companies saw a vast potential market in these "problems" and started formulating chemical “cures,” alleging a medical necessity for all women.

Your biology controls your destiny no longer! If you are a woman… if you know a woman… in just 4 days exploring energy medicine with Donna Eden you will start to discover extraordinarily empowering, practical knowledge about women’s bodies that can put you in your own driver’s seat.

Energy medicine is particularly potent for women because of the way their hormones orchestrate a complex and evolved system of internal communication. For almost every health condition a woman faces, hormonal imbalances are in the foreground or in the background.

Monthly Cycle (cramping, headaches, mood swings, sexuality)
Pregnancy & Birth (fertility challenges, healthy pregnancy, morning sickness, birthing process)
Menopause & Wisdom Years (weight, vitality, thyroid imbalances, memory loss, osteoporosis, hot flashes)
Hormones follow energy. By managing your energies you can manage your hormones. As your hormones flow . . . your emotions, thought, relationships and good or ill health follow. Energy medicine provides you with tools to be an active partner with, rather than a victim of, your hormones.


GAMES THAT MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH:
A WORKSHOP IN PLAYFULNESS AS A LIFE SKILL
WITH FUNSMITH BERNIE DEKOVEN

SPONSORED BY AHP • 12 CECs

August 30–31, 2010 • Albuquerque, New Mexico
Contact: Bernie DeKoven, bernie@dekoven.com
http://www.deepfun.com/2dayclass.php

Laughter Games can be played with large groups, small groups, couples, adults, and children. They are games that involve fantasy and creativity, games that require little or moderate physical activity. Through your participation in this workshop you will learn how to motivate people who are otherwise apathetic and reluctant to exercise to engage in safe and gentle physical exercise under cover of games. Exercise is work but playing is fun. People who play and enjoy their play become animated and are inspired to engage physically more than they would otherwise. Laughter Games are practical tools you can use to help clients/patients diffuse stress and you can adapt these games to the specific abilities and mood of a given group to maximize their benefits. You will acquire a repertoire of games that help people become more open to each other, less guaded and more spontaneious, more willing to engage and participate, more secure psychologically and socially. You will have deep fun, and be able to write it off, too.


GESTALT AS A WAY OF LIFE & GESTALT AS A THERAPY 
WITH CYNDY SHELDON MSW
A REVIVAL OF TIMELESS WISDOM

7.0 - 14.0  CEC's Available

September 11-12, 2010 - 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM

Seattle Healing Arts Center
6300 9th Ave NE
Seattle, Washington

Fees: Regular Participants: $95 (1 day), $190 (2 days)

Students: $75 (1 day), $150 (2 days)

Day 1 is a pre-requisite for Day 2

Emerging from the background of a society addicted to growth and success is an interest again in the teachings of Gestalt founders Fritz and Laura Perls and in the many refinements made by Gestalt trainers worldwide since their passing. Those familiar with Gestalt have missed having a community where they can share their deepest selves and those new to Gestalt are just discovering that this kind of contact is possible. This class will focus on Gestalt's timeless understandings and existential practices as well as the therapy of it all. Amazingly, some indigenous teachings as well as those of Buddhism and Eckhart Tolle's work have a lot in common with themes we will explore.

CYNDY SHELDON, who studied with Gestalt founder Fritz Perls MD, PhD and his colleague James Simkin, PhD, was one of the organizers of the original Gestalt Institute of San Francisco, where she taught for 25 years. In addition she taught for many years in Europe as well as in Australia and Canada. Inspired to follow her bliss in search of a more spiritual foundation, she moved to Sedona AZ and soon after worked on the Navajo Reservation for 10 years.  Now in her 75th year she is integrating these approaches with Gestalt’s timeless understandings and is eager to share them with all who are curious and interested. Currently she resides in Bellingham Washington.

Join Geneen Roth
for her ONLY 2010 West & Midwest workshop!

Tell me, do you...
• Believe that losing weight is the key to your happiness?
• Eat or drink every time you have something to celebrate?
• Find yourself turning to food when angry, bored or stressed?

No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all—it is all on the plate in front of you. The way you eat is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation, and yes, even God. You can learn how to use your relationship with food to discover fulfillment you never thought possible. Geneen will show you how in this 9-hour experiential workshop.
