"The Return of the Teachers"
with DR. GEORGE CATLIN
11:00 a.m.-12:50 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, Room 101C
Free Event
Since 1875, information has been available to Western humanity about a group of fully enlightened individuals who work from behind the scenes of human affairs to cultivate the optimal conditions for human progress. In 1945, that group announced their decision to return to open roles in the world sometime around the end of the 20th century. They are here now - gradually approaching individuals and groups, testing our openness to their message, seeking those through whom they can work. In the near future they will emerge into fully open roles in the world calling for sharing, justice and peace. Will we heed their plea for progress or revert to the old and tired ways of competition and warfare? The current outer crises are but the harbingers of a new time...if we understand ourselves and our world well enough to go forward.
Dr. George Catlin has lectured throughout North America for the past five years on the approach of the Teachers and the path before all who seek to remember their true purpose, life's true purpose. He presents the current information about the inner and outer events in the world with candor and some humor - hoping only to encourage his audiences to consider the incredible opportunity that is before us all. Dr. Catlin's past includes four years at the Findhorn Community in Scotland and 12 years of teaching psychology. He is the author of two books on the path (The Way to Happiness and The Long Journey Home), and has given over 300 highly regarded talks, workshops and interviews. Visit www.share-international.org
"Holistic Dentistry: Is the Key to Optimal Health Hidden in Your Mouth?"
with DR. JOHN LAUGHLIN
11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, Room 101B
TICKETS $10 now, $15 at door
In today's world of "managed health care," making informed decisions is critical to your health and well-being. This is just as true for dentistry as it is for other branches of medicine. What do you need to know? In two short hours, Dr. Laughlin will share with you the basics of Holistic / Whole Person Dentistry that have taken 30+ years of experience to develop! Topics to be covered include:
• Toxicity in Dentistry - What do you need to know to avoid increasing your toxic load? Some materials are more bio-compatible than others, and tests can tell which are best for your body. If you are already experiencing chemical sensitivities, holistic dentistry may be able to help lower your toxic load.
• Orthodontics is not just about "teeth" and ensuring you have a beautiful smile! Orthodontic therapies can have beneficial or negative body-wide effects.
• Sleep Apnea / Day Apnea / Airway Obstruction could be negatively affecting your health...and you may not even know it.
• TMJ / TMD refers to problems with the jaw joint and can be the root cause of many seemingly unrelated problems, such as head, neck and back pain, among other issues.
• Integrative Care - Integrating the care you receive from other doctors / therapists can increase the overall effectiveness of your wellness efforts.
Dr. John Laughlin served as a captain in the dental division of Scott Air Force base near St. Louis. After his service, the Laughlin family moved to Pierce County, Wisc. His dental practice gradually evolved from traditional dentistry into a more holistic philosophy. During his first five years of private practice in Ellsworth, Wisc., Dr. Laughlin came to believe that there was more to dentistry than what he had been taught. He took advanced training in TMJ therapy, orthopedic orthodontics, cranial sacral therapy, bodywork / massage, nutrition, pain management, safe amalgam removal and biological / environmental dentistry. He continues to learn, spending 200-300 hours in class every year. He has published original articles and textbooks, as well as education materials for doctors and patients. Caring for his patients and helping them reach their health goals is what drives him every day. Visit www.healthcentereddentistry.com
"Health Renaissance"
with DR. NORM SHEALY
1:30-3:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, Room 101DE
TICKETS $26 now, $29 at door
The United States ranks 38th in health, according to the World Health Organization. There is no medical system that can "fix" the problem. Health is the result of health habits. Americans fare badly on the four most-essential habits: No Smoking, about 72%; Healthy BMI, 33%; Eat five servings of fruits or veggies, about 10%; Exercise 30 minutes three times a week, 10%. Health begins with personal responsibility for all one's habits and behaviors. We desperately need a Health Renaissance!
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. is a neurosurgeon, trained at Massachusetts General Hospital, after medical school at Duke University. He has taught at Harvard, Western Reserve, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, and Forest Institute of Professional Psychology. Currently he is President of Holos University Seminary and President of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine. In 1978, Dr. Shealy was instrumental in creating The American Holistic Medical Association, which continues to emphasize the spiritual component of healing. In 1973, recognizing the need to incorporate spirituality into medical practice, he founded, with Reverend Henry Rucker, The Science of Mind Church of Chicago, which became the International Science of Mind Church for Spiritual Healing, and which created Holos University Graduate Seminary, offering masters and doctoral programs in Spiritual Healing and Energy Medicine. Dr. Shealy introduced the concepts of Dorsal Column Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), both now used world-wide. In 1971 he founded the first comprehensive, holistic clinic for management of pain and stress management. The Shealy Institute became the most successful and most cost-effective pain clinic in the U.S, with 85 percent success in more than 30,000 patients. The Shealy protocols for management of depression, migraine, fibromyalgia and back pain are increasingly being integrated into hospitals and individual practices. His current research emphasizes the potential for using spiritual energetics in rejuvenating the body's production of DHEA and Calcitonin, in reducing free radicals and in reversing DNA damage, to enhance health and longevity. Dr. Shealy holds 10 patents for innovative discoveries, has published more than 300 articles and 23 books, the latest of which are Life Beyond 100: Secrets of the Fountain of Youth and Soul Medicine. In early 2008, his book Pony Wisdom for the Soul, and The Secret Code, a movie on the benefits of complementary and integrative Medicine, were released.

with DR. RITA LOUISE
2:00-3:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, Room 101B
TICKETS $10 now, $15 at door
Each of us has had at least one experience where we knew something was true but could not explain how we knew it. Maybe you knew who was on the phone before you picked it up or you followed a gut feeling, which turned out to be right. Yet most of us have not been taught how to access and use our most creative and powerful ability - our psychic ability. Loaded with down-to-earth examples of ordinary people having psychic experiences, this lecture reveals how you may already be using your psychic abilities on a daily basis. Dr. Louise demystifies the concept of being psychic, dispelling the notion that being psychic is something one can only be born with.
Rita Louise, Ph.D., became fascinated with the concept of extrasensory perception at the age of 12, a passion which has lasted a lifetime. After years of intense study and in-depth research into the fields of health and wellness, psychology, philosophy and the esoteric arts and sciences, she has emerged as a leading voice in the fields of holistic health and mind/body healing. Founder of the Institute of Applied Energetics and the host of Just Energy Radio, Dr. Louise is a Naturopathic Physician and a 20-year veteran in the Human Potential Field. She is the author of the books Avoiding The Cosmic 2x4 and The Power Within. It is her unique gift as a medical intuitive and gifted clairvoyant that illuminates and enlivens her work. Her unique insights bridge the worlds of science, spirit and culture and are changing the way the world views physical, mental and emotional well-being. Most importantly, she helps individuals reclaim their most valuable asset - their health. Visit www.soulhealer.com

"Animal Communication & Animal/Human Wellness"
with SAGE LEWIS
3:30-5:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9, Room 101DE
TICKETS $15 now, $17 at door
Join dynamic teacher, healer and author Sage (Stacy) Lewis for a fun and informative lecture, demonstration and hands-on experience specifically designed to help you understand your pets, help them shift undesirable behaviors, decrease mental, emotional and physical stress and increase overall health, well-being and happiness in both you and your pets! First hour: What would it be like if you could actually hear, understand and respond to what your pet is trying to tell you? What if you could help them shift undesirable behaviors and improve your bond with them? What if you could connect with pets who have passed on? You can! Animals think and feel much like we do but we often discount the depth of their awareness and consciousness. When we are open to the possibility of their depth and greatness, a big door of opportunity opens. Learn how to connect more deeply with your pet(s) - living or deceased - through a process of creative visualization and heart center opening. Please bring photos of your pet(s) along with questions. Sage will be doing live animal communication sessions for a select few during the lecture. Second Hour: Our planet is in crisis, but you can help. How we live our lives makes a difference not only to ourselves, our family and our friends, but also the world around us; including the plants, animals and Mother nature. The daily stress that we put ourselves through can take its toll physically, mentally and emotionally, and can be a major cause of "dis-ease." The same is true for our pets. Learn what causes stress, how to notice when you or your pet is stressed, as well as some hands-on techniques and simple tools to help relieve stress and increase wellness.

TICKETS $44 now, $49 at door
You have powerful and loving guardian angels that want to help you create the life you desire and deserve. They are with you always and they are ready to communicate with you, if you will only ask and listen. In this workshop, Sunny will guide you towards answers to many of the questions you may have about Angels and the spirit world such as: Why can some people see, hear or feel their angels and others can’t? How do you know your Angels name? Are there really Angels around me, and if so, why can’t I see or feel them? Can we really communicate with them? In order to connect with your Angels and Spirit Guides, you need to be aware of everything around you. It takes practice to tune in and listen to what is not being said. Through a series of meditations, visualizations and hands on exercises you will learn how to become aware of this unconditional loving energy that is surrounding and supporting you in all ways.
In this enlightening and interactive workshop you will also learn:
• Simple steps for grounding and connecting with spirit
• Your strongest intuitive ability (Clairvoyance, Claircognizance, Clairsentience or Clairaudience)
• How to ask for and receive guidance and direction from your Angels and Guides
• Who the Archangels are, what their qualities are and how to connect with them to receive divine healing, love, forgiveness and support
• How to interpret the messages that your Angels are sending you
• Guided meditation techniques to open the communication between your physical world and the spirit world
• How to do a reading for yourself or a friend
Join Sunny as she shows you that our true purpose here on earth is to give and receive unconditional love. This will be a day of learning to consciously open yourself up to your Angels to receive the love and healing that you deserve and to share it with those around you. Whether you are aware of your spiritual gifts or just learning to tune into spirit, this workshop will be an experience you will never forget. An open heart and an open mind are necessary.
