Green Your Life: ACHS Conference and Wellness Retreat
October 4-9, 2009 at Breitenbush Hot Springs
*** This Course Has Been Cancelled ***
Unfortunately
these tough economic times led to low enrollment for this program. We
hope that you will be able to join us for our free community wellness
classes at our SW Portland Campus (view calendar here) and view free videos of our sessions at our YouTube Channel here so you can continue to work towards greening your life and achieving wellness.
Wellness
is a daily endeavor. It requires care and conscious decision making to
maintain optimal health. Too often the healthcare industry sells itself
as the health cure industry. But we, the holistic health community,
know that in reality, prevention is the only sustainable cure!
Learn
how to create and support wellness at our six-day, five-night Green
Your Life in 2009 retreat. ACHS faculty, staff, graduates and guest
presenters will guide you through a series of presentations, workshops,
and nature-based outdoor sessions addressing issues like: practical
techniques for greening your life; green foods and herbs that promote
prevention; and what does your sustainable wellness lifestyle look
like.
The
ACHS Wellness Retreat is a social and educational wellness event open
to the ACHS advisory board, faculty, students, and the community.
Sessions
will include workshops, information sessions, demonstrations,
roundtable discussions including point/counterpoint, and author
discussions, where authors guide discussions on their books and conduct
signings.
