Flower Essences and Their Potential for Healing, Jan 18 in Palo Alto

[Guest guest]

On Monday, January 18 at 8 pm, the Peninsula Macrobiotic Community will host

Claudia Delman, who will speak on Flower Essences and Their Potential for

Healing. Flower essences are energetic medicine which can help us heal on many

levels. They can reduce stress and enhance our health by providing us with

emotional support when we use them. They are simple to take and are a wonderful

way to make subtle yet significant changes in our lives. During her talk,

Claudia will explore a few of the ways flower essences and energetic medicine

can help us live more to our potential.

 

Claudia holds a Master of Public Health degree and has been working with flower

essences and has created a line of essences to help people and animals adjust to

life's challenges.

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

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.
