Lecture:  Synchronizing to Springtime
               with Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
  Good health requires us to adapt to the changing seasons. Spring is a uniquely challenging time for two reasons. First, it is the true beginning of the energy year, so how we align ourselves with spring will ripple throughout the other seasons. Secondly, our tastes and eating habits often conflict with our true needs. You will learn the keys for making a smooth transition from winter to spring and learn how to understand this process through the insights of yin/yang. The Chinese New Year, celebrated on February 19 this year, signals the true beginning of spring energy. So let’s have an easy transition in 2015!

The cost of the lecture and macrobiotic dinner is $55.

Lecture: Longevity in the Age of Disease
              with Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
  Modern medical science in the 21st century claims many advanced and sophisticated techniques—from diagnosis to treatment. Meanwhile statistics show that almost fifty percent of Americans live with a chronic and compromising health condition, about twenty-five percent with multiple conditions.
  The four top causes of death are diseases that significantly relate to dietary and lifestyle practices: cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes. This talk will not focus on cancer. For both prevention and improvement, personal choices give us the power to be in charge of our health. Even chronic conditions can respond surprising well if we recharge our health with diet and other common sense care. A new vision of healthy living and personal commitment is within your hands.
  This talk will focus on the elements of change that can create and sustain life. Which foods and lifestyle changes will matter most? How to alter addictions to sugar, salt, alcohol and junk foods? Do supplements bring greater health? What can we learn from other cultures who have lived long lives? And how to select the most empowering changes from a seeming endless list of “good” things to do?

Lecture: Why Women Live Longer than Men...
               And What Men Can Do About It!

                   with Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
   On average, women in the U.S. live 5 to 8 years longer than men do. Why?
What factors influence this difference? Scientists credit genetics, others say women are less aggressive and conflict-prone than men, others claim women take better care of themselves. This lecture will use an Oriental Medicine perspective to explore the energetic differences between men and women and offer practical suggestions to help men narrow the longevity gap.

Seminar: The Two Pillars of Wellness
  
              with Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
  The body has two essential powers for providing vitality and strong immunity. If not properly cared for, these can weaken gradually, leading to myriad health problems. In this seminar you will learn how to strengthen and sustain these powers, necessary for healing and for a high quality of life. 
  What are these two pillars? One is strong blood and the other is Qi/Ki of body energy. 
  Our blood is determined by the foods we eat and by our power of digestion. Digestion, therefore, is essential to general well being and long term health. We will examine the organs of digestion from both western and oriental medicine and discuss specific symptoms, along with some causes and measures for correcting them; for example — acid reflux, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea. You will gain an understanding of acute versus chronic problems, and how to apply the tools of yin/yang for analyzing symptoms and finding solutions through a macrobiotic dietary approach.
  The other pillar of wellness is the Qi or Ki energy which is controlled by Kidney energy. In oriental medicine Kidney means much more than the organs as understood by Western medicine. The Kidneys are a storehouse of vital energy that directs and sustains our physical, emotional and mental well being. In oriental healing they have direct impact on every other organ and function of the body. Further, they determine our unique cycles in life and contribute greatly to longevity. You will learn how to protect and strengthen Kidney power through key lifestyle guidelines, dietary choices and special remedies. 
   We will learn several important acupressure points for improving digestion and for treating specific symptoms, and a few points for strengthening kidney energy.

Lecture
:  The Art of Discernment: 
                What's Important and What Isn't?

                with Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
  You’ve heard the expression — it’s all in the details. Come to this lecture to go beyond common fears, confusion and misconceptions. Learn how to live the 'great life' in a beautifully imperfect world. Michael will address questions and concerns about daily habits and broad lifestyle practices. You will learn which details are important and which are more flexible for individual conditions and interpretation. This lecture will take an in-depth look at these topics:
  • Perspective on individual needs
  • Healing diet vs. lifestyle eating
  • Seasonal adaptations
  • Best use of SOS ingredients – salt, oil, sweets
  • Relevance of supplements and vitamins
  • Juicing
  • Cookware and storage containers, and
  • Organic vs other choices
Learn when consistency matters, and how to use your own judgment for setting personal boundaries or relaxing them.

The cost is $60: includes the lecture and macrobiotic dinner.

SPECIAL PROGRAM
Advanced Macrobiotic Counseling
Thursday, November 5 - Sunday, November 8

  ================================
This program is focused on:
>>helping you improve and deepen your healing practice
>>challenge and sharpen your understanding of diagnosis, foods for healing, the energetics of cause and healing, and the emotional connections to illness and wellness.
This study is ideal for:
>>those who are already teaching, coaching and counseling
>>also for serious students who will soon be involved in healing work.
There are two unique aspects to this training.
>>First is that the format will be based around personal case histories.
You are encouraged to bring one or more client problems for an in-depth analysis and discussion. And I will bring more. Further, there will be one or more live consultations that I will do that to facilitate discussions of many important components of healing.
>>The other unique aspect of the training is that we will focus on two major areas of disease: digestive and circulatory.
Much of the modern world’s health crisis is in one or the other of these. Further, I suggest that if these two systems are healed, then healing can rapidly progress to all other regions of the body.
Throughout our studies, I want to emphasize that importance of communication and compassion with care and an appreciation of the healing journey.

Lecture: Heart & Soul for Winter Blues
                With Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.

According to Oriental medicine the heart not only pumps blood but also governs and carries all emotions. The heart is pivotal to our health, essential for true happiness, for spiritual calm and for emotional enthusiasm. We will look at the underlying nature of emotions and ways to change our disturbed feelings into healthy expression and release. By taking responsibility for our thoughts, actions and reactions, we can explore ways of tuning in without tuning out. With holiday stress and winter blues, this season is a good time to learn and remind ourselves of ways to stay calm and balanced.
Topics discussed in this lecture will be:
• importance of heart to physical, emotional and spiritual health
• five ways to resolve emotional extremes
• relationship of heart to kidneys, liver and small intestines
• blood pressure and cholesterol
• foods for a stronger heart
• empowering & calming acupressure points
