Perspectives in Health

Sunday, March 3, 2013 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Course Description

Our viewpoints of reality greatly affect our wellness. In this one-day course we will exam our collective beliefs and branch out past these limitations to the fascinating cutting edge science of our universe, planet, and bodies. We will follow this path until, at a molecular level, we consider food, supplements, and energy fields and how they affect our health.
