Friday, March 27th 2009--Dr. Chris Kerszko

presents an engaging hour of information and interactive demonstrations on being “Fit While You Sit” followed by a Q&A session.  Learn how to combat the ever increasing stress in our body due to society’s sedentary lifestyle.  Be ready to get out of your chair at this workshop, because it is guaranteed to be an interactive and stimulating experience for everyone in attendance.

We only have 45 seats so being early to the 6:00 PM Workshop is a must.  Dr. Chris says, "Early is on-time, on-time is late."  It is also recommended that you bring a friend to partner up with during the interactive portion.

As a specialist in Optimal Spinal Function and Performance of the Nerve System to enhance overall wellness, Dr. Chris has been giving public talks about proper spinal hygiene and the link to people’s overall health to the Westerly-Stonington area since April 2004.  Dr. Chris is available to speak at your company at his expense on any number of topics ranging from “Fit While You Sit” to “Reducing Workplace Stress” to “Team Enhancement Seminars” to bring people together in the workplace.  Whatever the situation, Dr. Chris is sure to raise the morale of the office environment and increase the fun and productivity as well.

Friday, January 16th 2009
Susan Epstein, LCSW, Parent Coach
"Tweens & Teens Out of Control:  What You Need to Know to Turn Their Behavior Around"

--  Many kids watch hours and hours of television, play video/computer games and are attached to their cell phones like Velcro. TV personalities are full of "attitude."  The talking back, "whatever," rolling eyes, sighs, "You are not the boss of me," "No I won't and you can't make me" has invaded our homes and relationships.  By the time kids get to age 13 these days, they have been exposed to more than we were exposed to at age 19.  What does this mean?  It means that we need to turn the volume up on our parenting skills, supervision, communication, and stay connected to our kids.  During this presentation, you'll discover ways you can do this and I'll even give you my secret formula for ending back talk for good.

Susan works with parents whose children and adolescents are unmanageable. Susan graduated from the University of California at Berkeley School of Social Welfare.  She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut and Rhode Island and also completed training with the Coaches Training Institute.  An expert in the areas of family dynamics, parenting and child development, Susan will uncover and unleash your parenting power.  Get your free special report on how to get well behaved kids now at:  www.ParentingPowers.com

Jocelyne Colombe, APRN
"Our Body from Matter to Light."

Our transformation into a new body is referred to as 'Lightbody' Integration, a natural process of evolution. As our consciousness (light) expands, our bodies begin to 'shed the old ways' through detoxification typically resulting in physical symptoms. These symptoms are meant to be transient and eliminated completely from our body. Some people are discovering that many of the physical ailments they are experiencing are not being addressed by current medical practices. That is because they are symptoms of the Light Body. Cutting edge lightbody technology including the BioMat and a healing system called Transference Healing, designed to diminish or totally prevent symptoms will be discussed. Jocelyne Colombe is an Architectural Health and Wealth Designer. She has taught Energy Medicine extensively in colleges, hospitals, Holistic Health Expos and through her private practice. She has led spiritual journeys to Egypt. She brings ancient healing tools and modern technology to ease our rapid transition into light.

Australia's Earth Whisperer and New England's House Healer are Together for the First Time

Unknown to each other, these two people have been dedicated to doing very powerful, strangely similar, esoteric work. One is a woman in Australia, the other is a man in New England. A woman and a man standing on opposite sides of the planet who have been working in the same way on the same kinds of issues.

A prophetic dream and random email from a friend brought them together first by email, then spiritually, then by phone, and now, for the first time, in person.

Maggie decided to find out what would happen if they met and worked together. You will get to hear the amazing things that happened, just a week after they met for the first time.

Maggie Landman,
from Brisbane, Australia, is an Earth Whisperer. She has a natural ability to see the energy lines of the Earth and senses the effects of underground water, electrical fields and other influences and what is required to heal and balance them.

She has a background in energy work, healing and has been teaching her own Past Age Clearing and Healing course since 1995. Maggie's natural psychic abilities assist her in healing our wonderful planet. She also does remote healing of places and structures, anywhere on the planet. (More at www.MaggieLandman.com)

David Franklin Farkas,
from Amherst, Massachusetts (USA) is a professional House Healer. He specializes in remote healing of places and buildings, but also does remote healing work with people, businesses, events and situations. He sees and clears the effects of the emotional history of buildings and places. (More at www.HouseHealing.com)

Maggie's gift is seeing the energy of the land. David's gift is seeing the energy of structures. Both of them work on land and buildings including rescuing ghosts, and shifting the effects of historic events that are affecting the experience of people now.

Much of their work, albeit on opposite sides of the planet, has been rectifying issues with houses that won't sell or where people are having emotional or health issues.

They have no idea exactly what they will learn from working together, but you can be one of the first to find out. Don't miss this adventure in planetary and personal healing!

Chris Repasz, President of the Connecticut Health Freedom Coalition and Robban Sica, MD

Protecting the Right of the Patient to Choose the Practitioner to Practice. Connecticut Health Freedom Coalition, CTHFC, has formed as a state chapter of the American Association of Health Freedom, AAHF. CTHFC is comprised of Physicians, Naturopaths, Nutritionists, Homeopaths, as well as consumers who have united in a grass roots organization to protect access to Complementary, Alternative and Integrative modalities.

CTHFC is calling together all individuals and groups interested wanting to preserve their freedom of access to complete health care. The purpose of this call is to build a strong state coalition with a united voice, and send a clear message that we demand health freedom. A more acceptable balance must be created between individual rights to self-determination and free choice, and the government's concerns for public safety.

Robban A. Sica, MD graduated from the University of Toledo and the Medical College of Ohio. Dr Sica has been practiced integrative medicine for over 20 years and founded an integrative multi-specialty private practice of natural and alternative medicine. She sits on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology, the International Board of Advanced Longevity Medicine, and the International College of Integrative Medicine. Her brave battle against Connecticut state officials was successful in protecting freedom of access to chelation therapy in the state. Since then, protecting health freedom has become a passion for Dr. Sica and she happily joined the AAHF and the CHFC Board of Directors to help health freedom efforts. For more information contact Craig Repasz at: President@cthfc.org or 203-230-1697.
