Cancer Survivor Marlene Marcello on Radiant Healing from the Inside Out, Nov 16

[Guest guest]

On Monday, November 16 at 8 pm, the Peninsula Macrobiotic Community will host

cancer survivor and author Marlene Marcello, who will speak on Radiant Healing

from the Inside Out. More than twenty years ago, Marlene was diagnosed with

malignant melanoma; after three rounds of surgeries, she was given less than a

year to live. But she worked tirelessly to heal herself using alternative

therapies including macrobiotics. Her strict regimen worked, and her cancer

went into remission.

 

Marlene will use her personal healing journey as an example of how a healing

diet, mental and emotional exercises and spiritual practices can play a powerful

role in the healing process. Her focus will be on specific foods that cleanse

through plant-based nutrition; stress-reduction techniques and suggested healthy

living tips; and meditations and readings to improve inner peace and

relationships. Participants will receive a radiant healing booklet.

 

Marlene has dedicated herself to educating others on the benefits of holistic

health and nutrition programs. She has five children--the last, Joseph,

conceived within two years of her terminal diagnosis. He was born healthy and

is currently attending college. Visit her website http://medmacro.com.

AFTER-DINNER PRESENTATION: each month we feature an After-Dinner Lecture or

macrobiotic or other health related topics, by a variety of speakers including

macrobiotic counselors, medical doctors, cooking teachers, and people who have

dealt successfully with serious diseases using macrobiotic or similar

approaches. Other events have included performances by folk singers and

vegetarian Chinese acrobats. We have a pass-the-hat policy for our events; we

suggest a donation of $5-10.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: all are welcome at our Dinners, vegetarian or not. The

Dinners are particularly helpful for those who want to eat in healthy ways, but

may not know how to get started. Many who attend may have the same health

concerns you have. Also, choosing locally grown, vegetarian foods is one of the

best ways to reduce your carbon footprint on the planet.

 

Dinner attendance ranges from 40 to 100, with a full spectrum of ages spanning

newborns to grandparents, including quite a few interesting singles. Come with a

friend or by yourself; singles easily integrate into our friendly group, where

seating is communal. Many long-term friendships have started at a Monday Dinner,

and are renewed every week!

 

We hope to see you at a Monday Dinner! Please forward this message to friends

who may be interested.
