Special Upcoming Green Bay Event

This Spring, we grow again!

Before I return to Africa, I am coming back to Wisconsin for a very special seminar!

A new seminar series of the most ancient healing arts will begin:
The Alive and Healthy Series™ -- An Experiential Course in Yoga Science and Ayurveda for Practitioners and Laypeople.

There will be a Special Introductory Course to be held in De Pere, Wisconsin on March 14-16, 2008. Then next Fall, the six weekends of seminars will begin.

To our past graduates, readers and seminar attendees, this new seminar will bring life to all that you have read in my books. Your emails filled with difficult questions seeking help for fatigue, fear and chronic pain…. about what to eat and who to trust for advice. This course will answer your questions and yield health benefits and happiness not seen in recent times.

To our colleagues in the healing arts, this course will help you expand and fine-tune your options for helping clients with complex issues. When their lifestyle and emotional habits are not supportive of their own healing, that is when yoga and Ayurveda bring powerful solutions to your practice.

It is time to come back and learn more. For over thirty years we have been privately practicing, training, studying and traveling.

We invite you to come back and study with us. Details of the introductory course are posted at the end of this letter.

By the way, I will also be available for private consultations before the seminar. Please call my office at 570-251-8592 if you would like to schedule an appointment.

Please join me!
