Friday evening’s talk on “Seven Medicines” runs from 7-9:30 pm and costs $30 CAD. Confused about nutritional supplements? Learn to differentiate between nourishing, toning and stimulating herbs.

“Optimum Nutrition, Beyond Heroics” is the talk for Saturday, running from10am – 4pm. This workshop will teach you how to find, choose, prepare and consume nutrient-dense foods that build vitality, joy and superior health. Learn about the drawbacks of vitamin/mineral supplements, consider the downside of sprouting and juices, and understand the long-term health difficulties caused by restricted diets. Follow digestion from start to finish in your body, encounter the mysterious cell wall and marvel at the microbes that feed you.

The weekend will conclude Sunday with “Chronic Problems the Wise Woman Way.” Again, this runs from 10am-4pm. Wise women have remarkably effective ways of dealing with asthma, allergies, arthritis, shingles, headaches, back pain, cysts, chronic fatigue, and candida overgrowth. Learn specific herbal remedies, increase your ability to listen compassionately, and experience the power of simple ceremonies that nourish change and open the door to health, wholeness, and spiritual enlightenment. Time permitting, Susun will do one or more consultations as part of this class.

The cost for the weekend seminar is $120 CAD each class or $225 CAD for both. For more information, phone 416-498-1255 x 255 or visit their website: http://www.ccnm.edu/.
