3:15-4:00 - What are We Hungry For?  With Lisa J Weiss, Registered Code Model Coach

Have you ever found yourself eating, and notice you’re still hungry? What if you’re hungry for something else...something beyond food?  Food is often used as the distraction from what is moving from deep within. A murmur of a call, for ‘something' we hunger for that will shift how we engage our life. This conversation is going to focus on a different kind of hunger. One that calls us to move in a new direction, make a different choice, and to feed ourselves beyond the food we put in our mouth.

Join us to:

-Be introduced a new way to consider what you are hungry for.

-Discover how our bodies process information.

-Learn how to relax into the feelings/sensations that move within.

-Practice a new way of engaging the information that presents from the hunger within.

Audience members will be entered into a draw for one of four copies of "When the Horse Dies Get Off...and Stop Dragging it Around", and will have an opportunity to register for upcoming conversation experiences.

-How we can make lasting change and truly create more freedom in our lives

1:00-2:00 - Optimize your Digestion, Optimize your Health!  With Natasha Villeneuve CNP

Gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation, IBS, food intolerances.... these are all signs that your digestive system is struggling. Good digestion is the foundation to health.  When digestion is compromised we cannot properly absorb essential, health-promoting nutrients, nor can we eliminate toxins effectively. This often leads to further health challenges such as inflammation, autoimmune conditions, skin problems, headaches, hormonal imbalances, depression, fatigue and mind fog.  The good news is...Once we eliminate the cause and support the healing process, the body has an incredible ability to heal itself!

Join us to Learn:

-The basic anatomy and physiology of the digestive system (how it works!)

-The link between digestive disorders and other health problems

-Common dietary and lifestyle causes of digestive disorders

-Simple tips on how to dramatically improve digestion & overall health

Several NFP door prizes will be drawn throughout the presentation!
