Review of FREE Webinar for All Workshop Leaders
I took the on-line free webinar "You're About to Discover 3 Massive Mistakes Workshop Leaders Make That Keep Their Event Rooms Empty"
I find it very informative and easy to follow. I learned some cost-effective strategies to 'get the word out' about your next workshop and a 3-step system to help me pack my events. This webinar is still on-going.

Review of 'Connect to Your Own Power Workshop'- with Cindy Smith
Cindy Smith's workshop has become a main staple in my life. I have been exploring my personal power, and the angelic realm ever since, With the clear and careful guidance of Cindy's teachings from the Angelic realm, my spiritual level has elevated significantly and my energies are attune to higher vibrational levels. I no longer fear these energies because I now understand what they are and how to protect and clear myself.
A weekend of guided meditation with Huna and dolphin energy has really grounded my clairsensience personality. Chakra healing and cleansing with the Angels has added to my Reiki and Crystal knowledge. It is exciting to now be able to add the Angel card reading modality to my vessel of gathering and learning along my spiritual journey.
Cindy Smith is offering the Angel Empowerment Practitioner™ - Certification Course in Penticton this March, 2012 and a mini workshop at the Spring Festival of Awareness in Naramata, BC

Kerry Palframan RN talk was on talk/workshop was on: Dreams and Messages From Your Spirit and Higher Self
On Sat. Nov. 26th at Kelowna Library on Ellis St.
"I really enjoyed this workshop. It awakened in me the importance of my dream state and how I receive the same info in my waking hours! I just didn’t realize it before. And how those waking hour messages can provide direction and insight about my life. Now I keep some paper and pen by my bed and in my car, so I can write down the signs and messages I am receiving. I make requests from my guides and I get the answers!. And I am on the lookout for symbols in my dreams and waking life all the time now. Thank you so much. It was really an eye opening workshop and has changed my life!"

LEE HARRIS - The Magic and Power of You Review - Oct. 15
This was truly moving day for those I spoke to and very group specific—bang on actually. That relevancy alone made it worth every penny. I truly appreciate the empowerment in Lee’s message—how important it is for sensitive ones to know who they really are, especially when they pick up so easily on others. I love the way he volleyed between channeling and grounding with exercises; we are both spirit and human after all. To me, remembering who you really are is all there is. And with all the swirling in the world today, this message is vital to our balanced evolution. Lee is a true gift.
from Joanna Lynn, Kelowna
The KELOWNA WELLNESS SHOW - was beyond awesome and amazing! This was the first year and I am looking forward to this been an annual event. from Christine P, Kelowna.
LYME DISEASE SEMINAR - Prevention and Treatment with Dr. Sherry Ure.
I attended this free seminar in October, held in the Wheatgrass Cafe' at the Penticton Whole Foods Market. As with other free seminars that I have attended there, it was well set up and executed. Dr. Ure is a clear, concise presenter. She emphasized the importance of prevention and early diagnosis. Rather than miraculous cures and magic bullets, she laid out treatment options that used the best of western medicince with the best of natural medicine to support our bodies in fighting this disease. She knows this topic well.

Okanagan Greens Society says Thanks!
Thank you to the Okanagan community for their spirit and support shown at the 6th Annual Organic Okanagan Festival (OOF)! This year’s festival was a great success, with both familiar faces and many new friends collaborating to present what may have been our finest event yet.
With 900 guests joining 72 Okanagan businesses and organizations, the event highlighted green living awareness and raised $1560 in food & funds for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. For the first time the OOF was hosted at the Centre for Learning on the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College, and for the sixth consecutive year at Kelowna’s certified organic vineyard, Summerhill Pyramid Winery.
With the help of GreenStep and the Green Police volunteers we diverted 91% of event waste from the landfill into composting and recycling. Our OOF bus shuttle was very well received with 280 rides utilized between the two venues. 91 cyclists attended the OOF this year and enjoyed free admission and used the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition bike valet service. Presentation highlights included the fabulous local music, African drumming & dancing, the 3rd annual consignment fashion show and the provocative, standing-room-only keynote address by Lucy Sharratt of CBAN, all in addition to a wonderful new line-up of films and presentations at Okanagan College.
The Okanagan Greens Society extends our warmest thanks to all of you! We were overwhelmed by the dedication of this year’s volunteer team, our amazing supportive sponsors, including the OK In Health eMagazine, the incredible group of exhibitors and by the many sincere thanks expressed by Okanagan community members.

Green Drinks Local Events Review
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. They have a lively mixture of people from the community. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.
These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It's a force for the good and we'd like to help it spread to other cities. Contact your local node to get the latest info about coming along. http://www.greendrinks.org/Canada/clist

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE Weekend Course with Susan Allen
The course is highly experiential with ample practical instruction, demonstrations and hands-on learning. It teaches the principles, techniques and movements of an extensive Indian Head Massage sequence that will give an introduction to the versatility and possibilities available to you with this modality.
By the end of the course I was able to give and receive a full massage treatment. A full Indian Head Massage treatment can take up to an hour and focuses on areas of the body that are most vulnerable to stress and tension: the upper back and shoulders, upper arms, neck, head, face and ears. The effects of Indian Head Massage are both immediate and cumulative. It provides a respite from our busy lifestyles and encourages us to feel more relaxed, balanced, revitalized and focused.
Indian Head Massage is ideal for augmenting and complementing many other modalities, professions and interests including but not limited to reflexology, acupressure, shiatsu, hairstyling, aesthetics, massage therapy, aromatherapy, reiki and body/energy work.
Susan Allen, was our instructor and she was awarded the Kent Centre of Indian Champissage (Head Massage) Diploma (UK) in 2002. Since then her practice has continued to evolve by combining a diverse range of experiences with ongoing personal development and bodywork studies. It has been a natural progression for Susan to share her enthusiasm in Indian Head Massage as a course instructor by drawing on her seven years experience of working as a Training Officer in England. She now teaches in Vancouver, across Canada and is coming the Penticton this fall.

Wayne Dyer has left the room, the Wesbild Centre in Vernon, BC to be exact. And that was over two months ago. The thing is, the ‘Wayne-presence’ lingers on. As I boarded the bus in Penticton that day for the nearly two hour drive to the event, I asked myself “Hmm what do I want to get out of this evening? What will this mean to be seeing t-he author whose works first appeared in my life in magazines in the 70’s and who is now claimed to be one of the most spiritual people in the world?”
The bus arrived just on time, and as we scrambled past the greeting area, vendors booths and book displays, searching for our seats, I heard him, his steady calm and smoothing voice setting the tone for the evening.
He paced the stage, often stopping to pick up a book or a paper marked with a quote that was suitable to the moment, then off he would go, wending stories into lessons, and always back to his main point – the fact that we are ONE. No, I will say it this way… WE ARE ONE, and though we have all had trials in our lives ( as he certainly has and was willing to talk of them ) our lives as body and spirit are connected with a wonderful and loving greater picture, and as his subject title states…we can attract our needs and desires into our lives.
Now, you might say that this is getting to be a well worked topic, but looking at this man, the word ‘transparency; came to mind. We could SEE and HEAR the living proof that a life of love and acceptance, with no pretences is possible. A real person having real moments was laying the path before us, and I swear, looking straight into my eyes and soul across the room beckoning me to enter the world he walked in.
Wayne is no perfect man. He has LIVED a life, felt pain, swears, loves and celebrates. But the thing that sets him apart is that he has and continues to step up to the plate and be accounted for, finding ways to grow and evolve as a loving being. And for this I thank and love him.

 | Vitamin C | | Vitamin C is critical to good health. It helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, aids in absorbing iron, supports wound healing, and plays a role in immune system health. Registered dietitian recommends consuming at least one vitamin C rich food each day. Good choices include green peppers, strawberries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and broccoli. A serving or two of 100% orange, grapefruit or tomato juice is also a quick, easy way to boost vitamin C intake. |

In a puzzling appeal to anti-American sentiment, some industry supporters claim that U.S. foundations are threatening Canadian policy by donating money to environmental groups here. These arguments have appeared in publications such as the Vancouver Sun and Calgary Herald, and on Sun TV. | | Full Article |

 | Banana Whole-Wheat Bread | Category: Desserts
Description: Native to the Caribbean and Central America, bananas are one of America's favorite fruits. They are rich in potassium - one banana contains 450 mg of potassium, one-fifth of the adult daily requirement - and offer a fair share of magnesium (33 mg), too. In addition, bananas help to strengthen the stomach lining and are good for soothing indigestion.
Most banana bread recipes are saturated with butter and sugar. This one uses a small amount of canola oil instead - which is much better for your heart - and honey, which of course means lots of flavor.
Don't use regular whole-wheat flour. It is too heavy for this recipe. Look for whole-wheat pastry flour instead. | | Full Recipe |
